Mina san, Genki???
Vietnam is awesome. Food is great and the driving over is crazy lol
Everyone drives however they please, but they still got speed limit to follow. I'd be so scared to drive over here, plus the honking is nonstop
I've met one aunt, one uncle, and 4 cousins so far and right now I'm in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. Got nothing to do for about 3hr. Went to go shopping, but clothes here are somewhat more expensive. The cameras here are nice. Lumix, Sony Cyber-shot and what not. Some have like 7.2 Megapix or something *I think i remember this right* and these are going for about $400+
I'll be checking the forum again when I get home. Just say whats up _________________

hey KT_tran, how's Vietnam!?
good to hear from you, the flight was very long, ne?
I remember when i went to Japan during my last visit, going on the forum from an internet cafe, home away from home, visiting J-dorama. Well, i hope you have a nice 2 weeks in Vietnam, take lots of pictures and journalize your day to day adventures in a foreign land.
too bad you can't stop by tokyo on the way back,
ganbatte ne, jaa ne.

So far, vietnam is awesome. I would like to live here, but traveling around would be crazy. Max speed these guys are going is like 40khm. So much traffic, so many people on motobikes and scooters. I'm surprise these guys don't run into one another
I saw a few pretty girls and I really think that this certrain dress that some of the girls wear are beautiful. The fabric looks very elegant I think. My brother is too lazy to bust out his digi cam to take the shot and I don't want to use it too take the pic and then get bitched at if something wrong happens
Yea, too bad Would be great though.
Damn, my half hr is up. Gotta go back upstairs now.
Hopefully I'll be able to show you some pics of the dress and some cute looking girls _________________

Nah, when you live in such a place (traffic in Sofia is very chaotic and we don't observe speed limits) you get used to it, it becomes something like instinct to avoid holes in the pavement, go through narrow places, park on sidewalk etc. Of course leting foreigner drive is highly uncommendable... _________________

Have a wonderful trip KT.
My Mom loved Vietnam when she visited last Christmas.
She said the people were extraordinarily beautiful too.
And she'd know. She is gorgeous herself. _________________

EXPENSIVE TASTES from the Mainichi Daily News
Employees of Takashimaya Department store look at a 223 diamond studded "Diamond Christmas cake" on the jewelry floor in Tokyo on Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2005. The cake, with a price tag of 200 million yen (USD$ 1.72 million), is a two-layer hexagonal fruit cake measuring 20 centimeters tall and 18 centimeters in diameter and is covered with pink icing that is good for one year -- then you can eat it after removing the diamonds.

Kind of like driving in Ecuador . My sociology advisor/professor used to talk about riding with his in-laws in Ecuador all the time. Man, after hearing all that stuff I wouldn't mind going places on foot or via the good old bicycle .
I haven't heard from you in a while. How've yah been K.T.Tran? _________________
