Adam's trip to VN
Yeh, It is Westminster, CA. but I still vote for Viet Nam. I enjoyed Ca Loc Nuong, Canh Chua Ca Loc, Luong Xao Xa, Cay(dog meat) Tiem Thuoc Bac, Cay Bay Mon, Pho Pastuers, Ngeu, Oc, Mit to Nu, Man Cau, VUuSua etc... Gia Ho used to ask for "1 dong doi 500". Now, " 1 do doi 15K " How good exchange rate was. I think VN like Bankok is one of the good place to spend your Money if you do not spend on charity (cho tien ba con). VN today is different than 3 years ago (when I was there). A lot of large side company is booming. Housing is expensive in Saigon and surrounding town. In 1999, a double width (8 m wide), 4 levels building was 350 luong vang. But Viet kieu could not hold title. Now, the siimilar one worths more than 1000 luong. If you have facedtraffic in Bay area or LA than you will not supprise in VN except there are a lof of motorcycles instead of cars. The gap of rich and poor is extremely large. In Saigon, everyone seemed to have a good life. you can see quan nhau everywhere and all packed with customers. But when I went to country side. I saw some peoples with skin covering their skeleton. See the difference. I enjoyed a bow of noodle on side walk for 4k dong but similar bow, I paid for 11k in restaurant. A bottle of carbonate drink (like Fanta) is 5K at side walk but 11k in restaurant. In Saigon, you can have an escort to tour you around on her motocycle and stay overnight for about 30 US. A VN model for 200 US. If you want to have a second, there is a lot of opportunity there. 2 ladies approached to me and ask for setting up an appointment to see her daughter(a 221 years old college student), her niece. They accept to be a second as long as you take care their life. Money, Money....Money.... Anyone of you guy want to go there. Nhon, you want too see how sexy I was if a short. Here are pictures which I called "Today Adam of old time". The M16 gun is real one. I fire 2 bullets for 2 US. I have attached an email of Jeff Hsiao (Tieu Chung Cuong) (A SUA). Here was in Minh Vien and same grade level as you all. Hien (Jason) and Andy Lee or Jeff Hsaio could tell you what "ban" is was in jeff.hsiao@eng.sun.com Viet 04/23/02
