I was kinda worried about how much I was going to be charged for internet service this month. My aunt had signed me up for phone and ASDL service through Viettel (2nd largest mobile operator in VN after Mobifone) and put me on a “pay as you go” plan instead of the “all you can [...] 
This cute little 7 month old monkey was tied up to a tree at my cousin’s house. Yes, I know it’s cruel to tie up a monkey…but it really isn’t my place to tell people in another country how to treat their pets. Anyways, the monkey lives with a bunch of other animals [...]
Shower and Bidet combo at my grandmothers house in Vung Tau So I’m in Vung Tau…staying at my late grandmother’s house. The people currently living here are distant relatives…they have been taking care of the house since my grandmother passed away a couple of years ago….and in return pay no rent for their services. Anyways, [...]
Beautiful view at Binh Quoi ….however, the first 3 birthdays were before 1975….so I have no memories of them. At this time last year, my wife surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas…we stayed at the Bellagio…had a lot of fun; we even spoke about perhaps trying to have a baby in the following year. [...]
I should've stopped eating at 20 I made the mistake of telling my Aunt how much I liked to eat steamed clams dipped in lemon, salt and pepper….so she goes and makes me about 4-5 pounds worth. This dish was one of the things I was most looking forward to eating once I came to [...]

The buses run pretty frequently throughout the day….wait times at most stops are around 10 minutes. From my observation, the [...]

Morning traffic outside my Aunt's house Since I had been to Saigon back in 2002 I knew how crazy the traffic could be. Driving directly into one way traffic, driving down the sidewalks, running red lights, 4-5 people on a tiny moped, or people carrying gargantuan items while riding bikes, mopeds or numerous 3 wheeled [...]
One of nicer coffee chains in VN One of my bigger concerns living and traveling in Vietnam was….where do you go if you really have to GO? I hate using public bathrooms even in the States which I believe have higher standards for cleanliness than most other countries. I remember needing to pee really badly [...]
19 Million Vietnam Dong or about $1000 US Dollars It’s been awhile since my first post, but things have been incredibly hectic so this is the first time I’ve had to sit down and relax in a couple of weeks. I arrived in Saigon (aka Ho Chi Minh City) at around 11:00pm local time December 29th, [...] |
