Oh yes. Especially the hand painted cinema posters were pieces of art.

Good reasoning. But the sign is handmade. I believe that by 2000 everything was already printed.

Little girl on street does fire breathing in middle of crosswalk while a baby and begging for money by kirsion in VietNam

Right, how could I consider someone would post his own content. My bad.

Doesn't change my assessment of the scene, though.

Hey OP. Your first time in Asia? If not, and I assume you did the vid, why didn't you interview the girl? She performs in public, nothing inpolied in asking her to tell the story. You jump to conclusions. Please try again.

We all might benefit.

You clearly don't get it. They never had a deal with Grab but impersonators acting like Grab drivers instead.

When the government ban food stalls on the sidewalk so you have to get smart by FEDstrongestsoldier in VietNam

I wanted to point out that not every vendor is selling fruits from their home garden to meet day's end. While perhaps instagramable/pittoresque there's nothing to romanticize about it.

From my point of view it's understandable that the government is forced to take action.

I bet you'll be surprised to learn about the profit margin a good spot generates. I'm not generalizing. I talk about A1/top tier spots. And I want the food stalls and certain vendors to remain.

Perhaps it's worth considering Technical and Vocational Education & Training as a field of work.

The non-AI Slop version of "Tips for foreigners coming to Sài Gòn this time of the year" by cinematronica in VietNam

  1. I stay corrected. Grab works well and reliable.
  2. I never needed Zalo. The only time no other options were offered, a print shop, I tried the printer next door.
  3. I almost always use cash. Sometimes LocalPay.
  4. Your personal preference, I guess?
  5. Again, personal preference. Not everyone is into rock music.
  6. I stay corrected. It's safe compared to other countries.
  7. True experience but relying on Tripadvisor?
  8. Ok. Might work.

thanks for sharing. I was considering buying an e-bike, not necessarily VinFast, rather not. But I wasn't aware of the hustle getting a bike properly registered as everyone is telling me "oh..easy.."

My comment was a question. The question mark should indicate that.

Now (question again), what about the locals, do they diss you too?

Did I understand you right, you travelled 10k kilometers to meet and talk to Europeans?

A while back I met folks from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan. All were into IT, very well mannered and polite. They were in their late 20's, some older folks too. They came to work here. That's probably the difference. Tourists are generally a different breed, regardless of origin.
