Oh man you have no idea how smart my wife is. I have a pocket full of Dollars but she wont give me a single Viet bill That girl would have taken all my money

We're in DaNang now. Interesting mix of commercialism, high rise hotels and poverty. Big business is here from Korea, Japan, etc. using the Vietnamese cheap labor force to increase their profit margin. Average worker makes $100-$200 a month. $2.50 is a lot of money here. A beer is .50 cents in the tourist bars...I only looked.

I'm thinking early retirement, live like a King the rest of my years

From the hotel window:




Leaving now for a couple stops along the way to the airport back to Saigon. We'll be there for 3 days and then we spend 4 days in Cambodia.
