Wedding Gift by bob504

A good friend is getting married and I wanted to send a wedding gift. How can I send her money? IS there a more appropriate gift? Would an Amazon gift card be an acceptable gift? Thanks for your help!

Tan Son Nhat Airport the worst in Asia ? by ushfuhg

Someone recently commented to me that TSN was the worst airport -regarding exit and entrance time - they had encountered in 40 years of travelling. I had to agree. Consistently 2 hours plus of queueing to get out and 1-2 hours to get in.
