Is it " OK " to go to VietNam??

fishkiller41
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)

    Go to Cambodia instead and see Angkor Watt seriously it really is something to see and I do believe one of the wonders of the world. There really is no way to describe the mass of just how big it really is.

    Jeff: givette here. You're good to go. If there's any negativity here it's because (personally speaking) part of me wouldn't be comfortable with being thrust back to hearing the language, people, climate. Honestly, I'd be looking for my rifle, waiting for someone to take a shot at me. Wondering why there's no sandbags on the floorboards.

    Again, you're good to go. You won't be bringing any "baggage" with you.

    ....and I'll bet everyone here would be interested in what you will post after your return. Joe

    JEFF, go see what it,s like and report what you think about the country now. because i don,t want to go is no reason for you not to go. no hard feelings here. i had a uncle who was in the 11th airborne and fought thru the phillipine islands and had a chanch to go back in the late 50,s. when he didn,t go i ask him why and he said i don,t think you would understand, i didn,t then but i do now. happy traveling,eastbank.

    If you do get to Cambodia, there's a Shooting Range that let you shoot RPG's for a couple hundred dollars. Regular Grenades and AK's are much cheaper though.

    I'm not wanting to go there but the fact is that the US Govt. has nornalized relations. The only way to try and account for all of our missing in that GOD forsaken place is to get along. Let everyone form thier own opinion if it is right or wrong. How many Germans and Japaneese killed Americans ? I lost 2 Uncles whom I never got a chance to meet in WWII. I guess were buddies now ! Just my 5 cents.

    I think that you should go whereever you want. Those that don't want to go, shouldn't.

    Funny the liberal causes some of us so-called conservatives adopt.

    Like, revisionist history.

    If you are calling freedom to travel whereever you want a "cause", count me in.

    Another good reason to go. Not Everybody CAN go where they choose, whenever they want to.

    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.

    Guess its as safe as any place.

    Me, I'd probably not feel at ease, last time I was there, some of the local population was doing their best to send me home in a body bag.

    Vietnam has gone a long way to welcome Americans. While there are some seedy parts of the country they realize, much like China and Korea, the Americans and their dollars are the way to prosperity.
