@Tusk: Not as flattering? She's smoking hot, dude. I like (lust!) thick-thighed Haley.

I didn't say anything about flattering Where did I say that?, I just pointed out she may have brought a grey pair of bottoms, but think it's grey because of the lighting...someone on IDF said it wasn't flattering though.

Look again Buzz posted about her appearance @ the top of the page...I just refered to the colour of the pants.

I was born in Saigon Vietnam, Raised in the UK then moveUS...d to the

Vietnam is a beautiful country regardless of there being a war. I was in the Central Highlands but for different reasons.

@Tusk: Sorry, I suck at deciphering the right quotes from the replies. My bad!

@Buzz: You suck! Haley's hot, and that pic is one of the finest.

Thank you, thank you very much...I resemble that remark

Hey, creepy Flask Man...stop staring at Haley's thighs!

I promise to stop staring at her thighs as soon as I die. Does that mean you want me to die? You're an awful, horrible man, Mr. Buzz!

[Tusk]

That's right blame Tusk...Muahaha

The really big picture of Haley that didn't fit the page until Miguel tweaked it, was distorted (I thought) like a stretched view. Haley looked a little scrunched, like those mirrors you stand in front of that make you look shorter and wider. I said it didn't make her look very flattering...but you can still blame Tusk if you want.

Shenanigans!!! I knew Buzz was nothing but trouble...LOL....(Purposely bolded just so people understand I'm Joking) :p

NP @Flaskman...all these nested posts are hard to follow sometimes...I've just had a string of bad luck people misinterpreting my attempts at humor

Tusk, just because you may be humor challenged does not mean you should give up. Take a lesson from Haley, if the joke is on you...start laughing, otherwise it can be devastating...

Vietnam is a beautiful country regardless of there being a war. I was in the Central Highlands but for different reasons.

Political discussion about the merits of that situation, aside, my step-father (He's British) agrees with you. He wanted to go back with me, he says he loved the people there. It is beautiful country.

I finally got reunited with my birth father's Family in '05 after 30+ years and was fortunate to visit 5 cities/towns. I've been back 3 times (unfortunately to see my grandmother for the last time )

It's finally opening up to tourism, everything is so cheap there (exchange rate at the time $100 = 1.6 million dong) , but it's worth it to stay at 'upper end' hotels because of exchange rate, I stayed at a 4 star for $80/night. The poverty is obviously a major issue, my aunt says not to give them money because 'begging' is a major criminal industry. they 'rent' kids to beg, from their parents because people are more likely to give money to children than adults. While the Vietnamese are an industrious folk, communism has set up a system where the laziest person get's paid the same as the hardest worker, so there's no incentive to move upwards...(My uncle moved back from France to take care of his mother, and set up a business there, and has had to move his business twice because the communist wanted his land . He explained the difficulty of setting up business with this work force)

The last time I went 3 years ago, they were much more receptive and accommodating to tourists. You definitely should go with someone who speaks the language/knows the country, though, because people will try to rip you off more often than not. I have family there so that's not a problem. One time I arrived at an airport by myself, my uncle lives near there, 5 minutes, and the taxi driver made at least 3 circuits, before I finally stopped him and walked the rest of the way there....
