Default Greetings from Vietnam!

Whats up homies!

Just arrived in Vietnam yesterday. Already seeing how nutty it is. I guarantee you will NOT be able to drive here. Traffic laws is unheard of and completely useless anyways (people go everywhere) Nevertheless people still manage to drive their $100k USD + cars here! (Yes cars are 150% on top of the US costs!) So your Z would be a $75-85k car here at least!

Some people are dirt poor but others are super rich...Anyways I jsut spent $30 to feed breakfast for 15 people including drinks so I ain't complaining I'll update this thread with some pics for you guys soon! I'm hoping to spot a 350z here but I only saw a 280z and I didn't have my camera with me Most people here buy luxury SUV or sedans...Although I did pass buy this guy's house that showcase an impressive collection of a Ferrari F360, a Bentley Phantom, a Lambo Murciolargo and behold..a ****ING ENZO!!! Yes...I'm not kidding. Although he never drives them because cars here are surrounded by motorcyles and they will not hesistate to touch/scratch/hit your car if they need to get around you and you really can't do anything about it...

Hey Alvin!

Is this your first trip to Vietnam? You'll have a great adventure. Some fantastic art available at great prices... but yeah, you're right about the cars. I have a Vietnamese co-worker who said that even a Ninja 250 is a very expensive purchase. (He also told me that many small motorcycles for sale in the US are made in Thailand, which I do believe is not very far from Vietnam. I went down to the garage and checked the baby Ninja, and sure enough.) Anyway, have a wonderful trip, and come back safe!

Post those pics!

Alvin, I hope you did not go back there with your gf because it's a total waste if you tagged her along.

I had a blast going back there 5 years ago after graduating from college. Girls are so cheap.

I have always wanted to go back there eversince...too freaken bad, been busy working for the past 5 years

Dude,

Shouldn't you be hitting the stripe bars or hostage clubs?


What are you doing posting on the forum. I went there in 1998 when I was in college . Things change every second there.


Have fun bro .
