Melting for 3+ years over a political election, that’s both impressive and pathetic

Vietnam was still a shithole when I went there.

Like a lot of things, you find what you’re looking for.

Last time I was there was 2011 or 2012. Typical developing Asia scene. Some really nice stuff, some getting better, some primitive.

I lived in Singapore for 4 years. Probably the most advanced place you will find almost anywhere, but it still has some very Asian things that can drive you nuts. You just have to recalibrate expectations. There’s a big difference between visiting somewhere and truly living there.

It's like white girls and black guys with white dudes bitching about it

The only white broads I see with black guys around here are at the bottom of the desirability scale.

Tons of asian girls that have white fever there. They go nuts over getting a white dude's attention. It's an epidemic.

You know what else is a fever epidemic?

Malaria. Dengue. SARS. Avian Influenza.

With all these, and coupled with un-sanitary living conditions, lack of suitable basic infrastructure, and poor healthcare overall, why would anyone at a vulnerable lifestage (elderly, retirement aged individuals) consider SOUTHEAST ASIA?

It's like a melting pot of microbial death. It is literally Mother-Nature's biochemical terror weapons laboratory.

shite’s true, man. Asian girls definitely like me more than white girls, especially on dating apps. It’s not like I’m targeting them. I swipe right on way more white girls. This year though, more than half of my dates have been with Asian girls because they’re the ones who swipe back.

In general, surveys show that Asian women are rated most feminine and black women least feminine in surveys. Asian men are rated least masculine and black men dated most masculine. Asian culture tends to have FAR more prevalent racism against blacks than does white Culture, so Asians and blacks rarely date. Since whites are most culturally similar to Asians while also being perceived as more masculine, there’s a lot of intermarriage. East Asians and Jews, especially, are so similar, they’re practically identical in nearly every way except for appearances.

I have had requests from other Nam vets to go back and visit the areas we were deployed back in 68-69.

Can’t say it enough, thanks for serving.

I lived in China for a year. The majority of the hospitals there are complete shitholes. One time I went to a hospital that was an hour outside of Shanghai and the damn toilets were just holes in the ground. Imagine it's the same in vietnam

I wouldnt live there strictly because of the healthcare. The US regardless of public sentiment has the best quality of healthcare in the world.

This is a true statement.

Australian's beat them to it. Know a retired FedEx Capt who made a pit stop there. Saigon was too crowded, crappy infrastructure. He moved on to Pattaya.
