Last week while searching the many many pirated DVD’s around our house for something interesting, I came across Michael Moore’s movie where he sticks it to the man yet again. While I generally like his movies and agree with him that many corporations are greedy, evil institutions, there is one point that I would like…… Continue reading Poverty

Posts from or about Vietnam. Mostly Saigon (aka. Ho Chi Minh City). I lived there from 2004 – 2006.
Saigon Stories – Saigon Life
It’s been a while since my last entry so I thought I should sit down and write something. As I’ve mentioned before, the life here isn’t so exciting, and thus neither is writing about it. But there have been a few things of note that may be of interest to you out there wondering about…… Continue reading Saigon Stories – Saigon Life

I finally won GTA- San Andreas. There are still a million sub missions to complete but for the most part, I’m free from the games clutches.

One guy shared a story with us about how he got conned out of 200 australian dollars and one million…… Continue reading Saigon Stories
Saigon Stories – Life in Saigon
It’s been a while since my last blog simply due to my own laziness. Here in Saigon it is easy to become lazy and lethargic.

She had a few tears and with all the documents in her hand I knew what had happened.…… Continue reading Saigon Stories – Heartbreaking
