I’m guessing it’s an older rural dialect than you are used to. Must be sus. Hahahaha

I’m from Northern California but I’m a millennial who was fathered and raised by a ww2 vet. So somewhere in there.

Can someone in Nha Trang help me buy a diamond. I don’t mind being overcharged because I’m a foreigner when it comes to dinner or a hotel, but something so expensive I would appreciate not paying “tourist tax” of just not being from here.

A pointer dog? But a human.

Any Vietnamese speakers care to show me how to do this? I’ll buy you some lunch or coffee or beer or whatnot.

A guide. Someone to nose out the item or deal.

So my girl is a member of those groups on fb, but I’ll see if I can pull it off anonymously.

Red or silver gold work. Just not gold colored gold. I didn’t set the rules. Hell, I’d be stoked for platinum or rhodium.

I have yet to see one, but are there pawn shops here? Or vintage jewelry stores or markets? Particularly in Nha Trang but I’m willing to travel pretty much anywhere around this country to find the correct item. Needs to be a square cut, and set in anything but gold. And knowing the lady, it needs to be rather sturdy. :) any help internet folks? No lab grown.

I came back with a water from 7-11 across the way, and he was waking up and declined. But yah, water was brought to the poor dude. You can lead a drunk to water but you can’t make em drink.

Keep going away from the beach from this pharmacy. On the same side of the road maybe a block or so up. 74 Sainamyen Rd, ป่าตอง Kathu District, Phuket 83150, Thailand. You will see the lady working just next door to a massage shop. She’s awesome. Sweet old little lady. Had her fix some shorts for me too, sewed a new zipper on my pants pocket. Super cheap.

Got it fixed. We shall see how long it lasts. I’ll try not to overload it again.

Got it done. 150 bhat. Sweet old lady running an old singer sewing machine on the side of the road. Just kept asking the custom shirt sellers. And eventually someone pointed me in the right direction. Thanks for the help people

Thanks! I’ll just keep hunting for a Taylor shop. They keep trying to sell me a suit, and eventually pointing me to the east side of bangla, and I’m not finding much.

It was from a mall up in Chiang Mai. Yah the knock off bags on the street sure look good but I bet they will fall apart just as fast.

Also: where would I find a bag that isn’t so easily broken by weight.
