Is it " OK " to go to VietNam??
Being an American, I have some concerns.I have a chance to go over for free, with my nephew. He'll be doing presentations, in 6 cities, for his employer.
3 in So.Vietnam, 2 in N Vietnam, and 1 in Cambodia. I have a passport,no prob there. I would like to know,mostly,if it's "SAFE". And some ideas what to do for "kicks" (other than the 14yo. hookers)

Vietnam is completely safe. I have a family member who does business there. Its far safer than America.
If your family member wouldn't mind, i'd realy like to know a bit more. I'm sure alot more folks from here will be "chiming-in" soon.
If not, would you be willing to get my email to your "Cuz"??

As do I Heff. Fact is. I seldom get to visit the "other side of the world". I have many friends and family members, that fought and died there. I need to ask my self, i guess, if we were fighting the people of the country, or if it was the fugged-up RULERS, of that country, that we were at war with.
The wife and I, no doubt, will have the recourses to go there, if we want, in the very near future. I have a chance to go NOW. For the price of my food/lodging...0 -
stay home, its not safe out there. [:D] 0 -

They are the same communist rulers, now.
Viet Nam will never voluntarily get a nickel of my money.

I was there, long before you were and I lost friends too, but I don't wear my displeasure on my shoulder. Grow up.[:(]0 -
Why in the hell would anyone want to go to commie land, I mean Asia. Those folks who do business in that part of the world are just helping them build their armies so they can come over here and kick our ass. That's my opinion. 0 -

Then go kiss up to them. You sound like a democrat. Grow a brain and a set.
I hold a grudge, and I'm okay with it![;)]0 -
One of my Uncles died there and a cousin came back with psychological problems.
If you want to see Vietnam, go head, they want the US $$, but I will not condone dealing with the Communists.
My son went and bought a new coat at a national Clothing store. Was made in Vietnam. We took it back, and looked the store over, many items were made there. Got the refund and told them we would no longer be shopping at Old Navy. Sent an email also to Old Navy main office.0 -
Be sure and buy some diamonds there, they're cheap and easily smuggled back! 0 -
Zebra:
Yup. Cholon diamond. 1.25 carat. "D" eye perfect..(carbon spot when louped). Offered $5k for it a few years ago. And that's from a dealer!! Paid $300 for it. Had it set into a ring when I came home from RVN. It's on my finger as I type this. Joe
EDIT: Nope. Not per. Has a carbon spot when viewed at 10X (louped). And it's a brilliant cut. Looks like flashbulbs going off in the distance when I bother to keep it clean. Joe0 -

That's what I'm talkin bout! If it's a "D" Devoid it's probably worth over $10K [:D][:D][:D]0 -
I don't have a problem with the Vietnamese. It's the Canadians I don't like, or trust. Remember Scanners? Sick. And why do all Canadian women look like k.d. lang? But if you go, could you pick me up a little beer can suitcase? Mine is wearing out, finally. Oh, and a pair of tigerstripes. Thanks. 0 -

I bet the shoes your wearing are made in china? those are also communist made, do you prefer Chinese communist goods better than Vietnam communist goods?0 -
DAMN,, i didn't mean to cause a riot....I will continue to read the answers to this post. If, by next Friday,their are more neg. than Pos. answers, i ain't goin'!
I don't wanna be known as "HANOI JEFF"[V]0 -
Jeff,
Don't let others decide for you. My reasons are personal, and I doubt I could look anyone over there in the eye without some bad feelings. Still, I won't look down on you for going, I just won't go myself. I did two tours, and don't want to do three.0 -
If I were you, Id go with out a doubt, but im me so ill stay home and just keep happily building my bunker.[8D] 0 -
Small note of caution: If you were in the war, There is NO statue of limitations on War crimes. 0 -
If i do decide to go, i don't want y'all to think i'm,,,"flying-in-the-face" of all who served,suffered,even died, for what to this day is still considered a"conflict".( I believe it was a "War")If i do go, it will be purely to expand my knowledge of our beautiful planet, and the people and customs it contains.They will NEVER convert me to Budism,or Islam. And i am sure i will think of those who went there before me, for much more serious reasons than i.
On that note.... I believe i'll hit the hay....0
