I have many wonderful VN friends. My best friend is one of my neighbours. But the shameful behaviour of some of the women, mostly below a certain age is well documented. Even on the News. It is a pity, but the age of electronics and short term gain ... Read More

Maybe I just have a nack for mimicking sounds well but I've been here for a year and a half and the locals often understand me. Especially if I'm asking for something simple like cafe sua da. I think the tones are what you really REALLY need ... Read More
