I didnt make it to Vietnam but i hear there are nice beaches and good food.. a buddy of mine recently got married to (or moved in with ?) a Vietnamese woman and loves it there.. they have a 3 yr old son.. he‘s like 55 , so starting a family late, but of course she is like half his age .
Apologies if im repeating myself since i know ive covered some of this here a couple months back- but even though i spent time all over Thailand and in the Philippines (with short stops in Japan and Singapore)- i was surprised that i liked Bangkok the best out of all the places i visited.. im not into the red light districts or the whores (though i dont judge those who are, it’s just not my thing).. i dont even drink- but i loved the big city energy, and the low crime, and the parks, and the food, and (with apologies to Mar(cia)) the normal Thai women , the low cost of living etc etc…. I’ll be curious to see what you think .
