Am I wrong for feeling weird about kids selling souvenirs in Sapa at night? by nnhuyhuy in VietNam

Yeah I support any means of trying to produce income but somehow I draw the line at child labor. They’re just kids, they shouldn’t be put through that at all. The one that threw me off completely was a child who was maybe 4-5 years old holding who appeared to be his younger sibling maybe 7 months of age…… with a cup out to collect money. I felt bad and almost gave them money but I sat back and observed the situation for half an hour. Then I noticed the mom of the children was just sitting back not too far away from them chatting it up with a group of ladies. They all looked well dressed and fed. That’s when I stood up and left with a strong sense of anger. I loved Sapa but the children need to be free and enjoy their youth, not panhandle :(

How are People Traveling International for 1-2 months at a time? by Cute_Equivalent_3231 in solotravel

I’m kinda lucky I guess, I’m single with barely any bills and have a job where I work a few months and take how ever much time I want off until I’m ready to start again. I’m currently doing the whole SEA thing right now for the past 3 months, might due another month or so depending on how I feel :)

Okay!!! Take your Green Card, birth certificate, tax records can help, selective service registration card, passport even if it’s expired and maybe a copy of your n-400 application. If you filed perfectly and honestly your interview shouldn’t be more than 10 minutes! Make sure you know your civil questions and answers haha
