Comments on: #17. So, just what is wrong about Vietnam? http://dwightworker.com/2010/02/17-so-just-what-is-wrong-about-vietnam/ Just another WordPress weblog Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:52:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Former Resident http://dwightworker.com/2010/02/17-so-just-what-is-wrong-about-vietnam/comment-page-1/#comment-437 Former Resident Thu, 09 Sep 2010 08:14:50 +0000 http://dwightworker.com/2010/02/17-so-just-what-is-wrong-about-vietnam/#comment-437 I just stumbled across your blog and have been enjoying the VN blog posts. I lived in HCMC for three years and I found some sections of this post funny because: 1. honking your horn in VN is like saying "look out, I'm right here" rather than "get out of the way"; and 2. a thumbs up means "up your bum" I loved Vietnam. It's a crazy crazy place but it's full of energy and optimism. But the rubbish, the traffic and the pollution do get wearing. I hope your blog doesn't put people off visiting.

I loved Vietnam. It’s a crazy crazy place but it’s full of energy and optimism. But the rubbish, the traffic and the pollution do get wearing. I hope your blog doesn’t put people off visiting.
