Greetings from District 3 in Saigon today, God Bless to all.

[flyingillini]

It’s unbelievable and chaos everywhere. I escaped back up to the north right before lockdown. I had to pay $1,200 to get to Hanoi during the extreme measure. I hid in the back of a car during each checkpoint. My flight from Los Angeles to Singapore had 23 people. My flight from Singapore to Hanoi had 8 people. Wuhan Style lockdown now.

How hard to get hookers right now?

[flyingillini]

How hard to get hookers right now?

Impossible. Can’t even go to the store. Government is bringing food. Complete lockdown

[pavyracer]

Impossible. Can’t even go to the store. Government is bringing food. Complete lockdown

What kind of food are they bringing? Not familiar with Vietnam cuisine. I'd bet is much healthier than burger and fries and donuts.

[Mike Huntertz]

Basic take out.

[flyingillini]

Basic take out.

As of today no more deliveries. Army only.

Rice and vegetables and some meat. I wouldn’t live in Saigon if you paid me. The place sucks. Saigonase people don’t listen that’s why the military is there. It wouldn’t happen in the north.

[flyingillini]

This is why they brought the military in. They don’t listen in Saigon. This was yesterday





This was my building today, two suicides.

[flyingillini]

Saigon is crazy now.

I do not even know if lockdowns work unless force people to get vaccinated

[Brock Landers]

You should be in the US where none of this nonsense is happening

Brock , look at Israel , 1 out of 150 people have Covid now. It’s a fact , every single person is going to get Covid. Some will get sick , some won’t , some will die , some won’t. Lockdowns don’t work. Get vaccinated!

I don't agree with your thought "we're all going to get it" but things are getting worse not better.
Stay safe illini.

Bro post some pics from a whore house when they are out of their hazmat suits. And fukk Israel, they should of thought about not getting sick when they crucified the one guy who was like “hey, maybe we shouldn’t be doing some of this stuff” Inhave no sympathy for Christ killers.

[mjsuax13]

Illini, real talk- you are a smart guy and a guy with money. Why did you choose to live over there? It just feels volatile and I wouldn’t be able to navigate it. Not hating whatsoever, I just don’t really have the desire to live outside the US. Maybe I’m the idiot for saying that.

[Tanko]

At least its not as bad as they have it in District 9.

Covid is messing them up.

Which carrier did you take from LAX to SIN? I always fly Singapore Air. Great food. Attractive flight attendants. Great service.

Here's a pic of the flight attendant on my flight last year.

Illini got it all

Yup, even valet service from the military for 2 weeks.

I’m fortunate to live anywhere I want. I have traveled to 18 countries. I’ve been all over south east Asia multiple times. I’m familiar with each country. I fell in love with this part of the world especially Vietnam ( Hanoi) I came here 8 years ago, lived in Shenzhen, China as well. I love living here. I can speak Vietnamese so that helps. Is amazing here. Better food , better beaches, better girls , better gambling, it’s cheap and the quality life is great and it’s a peaceful beautiful country. People kill to live where my home is in Santa Barbara it’s very desirable, I’ll take Hanoi over anywhere America has to offer any day of the week. You have to come for a month , get adapted to life here. It will change your life. There are so many Americans and foreigners from other areas like me. You come here and don’t want to ever leave !

Great response. Would love to visit other countries more often. That was my plan until the last 18 months. Speaking the language certainly helps. Ya know, I started my business 10 years ago and although I could travel and do all that I just have not pulled the trigger. I can live pretty much anywhere but would have to be engaged with business affairs back here as well. Also, having young children certainly keeps me here but long term I plan to travel a bit more. 18 countries is quite impressive, I'm not as well traveled. Appreciate your perspective. I'll definitely check it out. Did you travel all those countries before you settled on Hanoi or did you just fall in love and say "fukk it, this is my place"... Pretty cool either way.

I lived and worked in Singapore for a few months on my employer's dime. It changed my life like you say.

I went back early last year to Singapore and the Philippines before COVID got so bad. When I left the main sentiment I got about the place is that the people who live there are so polite.

I've lived in major US cities most of my adult life. It can be cut-throat to the point where other people don't give a shit about you and I even understand that. They want any leg up on the good salaries one can get here.

But living in Asia gives a person a break from all that. I'll probably only live there part of the year after I retire and then come back to the US the other part of the year.

Bro he likes the whore houses and the fact they don’t make you wear a glove. I know he just posted a long response but he’s all about the little Asian whores. Good guy btw.

[DiggityDaggityDo]

Illini, do the girls there prefer white cawk over their own kind?

Enjoy Nam!! Nice place to be when there isn't Covid and what not.

I’ve been to 18 countries but I focused on this part of the world. In 67 days I went to Myanmar (Burma) , Singapore, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam , Thailand, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Cambodia, Nepal and Jakarta. That was a hell of a trip. I loved every single place I went to except the Philippines, that place is not my style and don’t like anything about it. Cambodia is awesome and I often go there. I don’t care for Thailand that much but it’s so close I go often. Before Covid I spent most of my time traveling between Vietnam and China , I have a 10 year **** for China. But I fell in love with Vietnam and I went back to California. At the time I owned a successful bar in the heart of San Francisco, I sold it and came back to Vietnam for a month and traveled all over the country. I fell in love with Hanoi. You will find expats in Vietnam like myself that either love the South or the North. I do like visiting the beaches in the south but I prefer the life in the north. Plus , Vietnamese is an extremely difficult language to learn. It’s a tonal language, it has 6 tones. I went to Hanoi University to learn so I speak and listen with a Hanoi accent, it’s difficult to communicate in the south for me , even Vietnamese people have trouble understanding each other. Different slang , different tones etc etc. it’s the most peaceful country you can possibly go to , the friendliest people , best food and everything is so close. It takes me 90 minutes to go to Bangkok , 85 minutes to Hong Kong , 3 hours to Singapore, 2.5 hours to Malaysia, one hour to Laos, 3-4 hours to Beijing and Shanghai. I was fortunate wheh I was younger with financial decisions that allowed me to do all this. I go back to Santa Barbara once a year but as of this year, I own property there plus it’s where I’m from , I’m going to go back twice a year from now on , my dad is getting older , but I can’t see myself ever living in America again. The only drawback about Vietnam is being able to stay here , most countries have a retirement **** etc. Vietnam is very difficult to stay long term but I made connections so I have that taken care of. Feel free to pm me , I’ll give you my # and can answer any questions. It’s a great life , I’m 47 years old and in 10 years total (8 in Vietnam and China) I’m on my 3rd passport, 56 pages each. I’m experiencing (travel wise ) what people dream of.
