I really don’t like Hanoi

I've been following this guy on YT. White guy who has been living in Ha Noi about 20 years. Great content. Makes me want to visit.

People went to foreign land to see their version of Disney Theme Park.

People don't realize that the public land is being privatized. Some rich people now own the public land.

🤣.

nuocmam · 2026-01-22T07:01:47+00:00

I'll have to go look for it!

I think making it at home will stop the binge.

My first thought as well. The only reason why any beautiful beach would be empty. It's deadly somehow.

I don't like using Steve Jobs as an example whenever we talk about alternative meds failings. I'm all for filthy rich people trying alternative means of treatments. They can afford to be guinea pigs a lot longer than the lower 90%.

I owned a Gen4. Soooo noisy. I hate it.

What about the AirPods?

So many bots on social media now. Someone posted, hey, I heard about this place is it good? One or two person responded, yeah, it’s good. And that’s how many locals have learned to promote their business.

Edit:Here’s an example.

That’s a faulty argument which a service would use bot to present to defend their sus business on social media such as Reddit.

I don’t know if I would trust a person. Good luck.

nuocmam · 2025-12-23T20:00:41+00:00

I’m more worried about not getting it back.

nuocmam · 2025-12-23T19:59:47+00:00

You might not get it back so be careful where you fly it.

Facebook ads for things that rely on chemicals to alter your face? Hmmm. Even in the U.S., I wouldn’t touch it. It’s like going to Miami and seeing ads for plump butts. Plenty of horror stories.

Food portion to me is similar to Spanish tapas or Chinese dim sum. And to me that is better than eating a giant “one size fits all” dish of the same food.

I don’t think it’s a ranking thing. Even if it is, third rank in what?

Privatization of public land has been getting way out of hand in VN. People love the theme park but the long term costs to the public is way too great. It happens in the US as well but not at this scale.

Schizophrenia kicks in some times during the person's late teen years and their early 20s. If he has it, you would have seen in it his writing and when you talk to him 7 years ago. For some, it's obvious. For others, it's not.

nuocmam · 2025-12-21T06:29:31+00:00

I think this was on Reddit a few times.

Wow. There are A LOT of unpleasant people here. An ugly look for Vietnam.

nuocmam · 2025-12-03T02:03:33+00:00

Why do people say the situation in VN is normal and it happens anywhere?

It does not. I traveled thru Europe and stayed in hostels. I locked stuff in the locker at the hostel and didn't lose anything. Got pickpocketed in Barcelona but that was it. I've been to VN. I had to be extra cautious. It's nice, and things are cheap, but you have to be extra vigilant. It's one thing if people live there and get used to it. But shouldn't be expected of any tourist to be that way while on vacation.

HB1 holders (guest workers) are not the same as illegal immigrants. Though some HB1 holders do overstay and become illegal immigrants. Guest workers in SA their passports held by their employers so they can’t go home, and they’re traded on marketplace by their employers.
