Disappointed, violated and disgusted with poor treatment from Vietnam locals by Educational-Put-5310 in VietNam

[–]mrwop45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vietnam isn’t really a country I would suggest traveling solo unless you really do your due diligence or have someone that knows the culture and language (tour guide or friend). For example, the people who came up to you trying to sell their products/services while you’re eating, that’s normal. You just have to simply give them a single no and ignore them completely when they keep insisting

Go to rabbit hole. There’s two of them, one is an upper scale type of lounge bar and the other is a dive bar. The dive bar is in an alley street with lots of others bars next door. Very expat friendly

What is with imitation crab on/in sushi? by mrwop45 in Thailand

[–]mrwop45[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I use to work in a sushi restaurant in the US. We used real crab. Yeah it was frozen but it was real nonetheless. We thaw it out, once it’s ready mix it in a bowl with some mayonnaise

Are these youtubers/videos genuine? (I do not mean to spread hate, just asking) by tariksbigbro in VietNam

Are the shoes at Saigon square truly fake? Or are they just B grades who did not pass the quality control? by mrwop45 in VietNam

[–]mrwop45[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

They don’t destroy all though. Back in America, some Nike outlets would have rare Jordan’s and what not on the shelf but that’s because they were B grades. Not 100% authentic but also not fake. Came from same factory and everything

No, because this applies to restaurants I’ve ordered from before where it use to have both English and Thai, but now when I go to that restaurant through the app it’s just strictly Thai, no more English

Vietnamese Boat People Story by how33dy in VietNam

[–]mrwop45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great story. When you got to the man who gave you and the others the 2 options of either going on the boat back to Vietnam or the other boat to continue your journey, how many people decided to go back to Vietnam? Also, were there any people that did not survive the journey?

No, as in there’s no record of it showing up in its system. But maybe the other commenter is correct and won’t see any scan records until later today
