Photo Journal: Vietnam

maxpayne_lhp · 08-26-2005, 03:36 AM

Intro: Vietnam to me is not the best place in earth to live; I myself don't trust its political points of view; I sometimes feel unsecured here (Not sure if I will, and how much when I'm in the states) I also sometimes can't get along with its people. However, there're something quite unique, strange, can be considered weird in its features, in its culture... There're something about this country I should remember, exchange for you guys.

Chapter one: So closed

This chapter is mainly on the stuff I see everyday. After waking up, doing fish c****************s, go out for some food etc... It's right here, around my home...

Note: Click to enlarge!

1.Street

This one was tanken right from my bedroom's balcony. Can you see the vehicles trough that matrix of electric network?

2.Traffic

Traffic here is a really big problem... it may be like some other countries' as well.

3.Close up

This was taken as I was down the ground... o.O lady in black, you blocked our view.

4. Keep the country clean!

The slogan written on that trash truck tells everybody to keep this place clean (include my room lol) but still...

5. From above:

The photo was taken from the top of my house, showing how creative these Vietnamese architects can be LOL

6. The rear view:

Can you notice that they're the roofs of the houses behind my home?

~Enjoy~ New espisodes come soon!

lol ya... most people ride motors here, when rainy or not... see how the riders "dance" with the bus aside lol
No, freaks... Yet, I has been adopted by a family, but they must complete all the work before announcing me where that family is. . When I am announced, it should mean I'll be there in a flash.
lol Baby, thanks for your kind thoughts... where should it be? Oklahoma?

sisofafishlover · 08-26-2005, 09:25 AM

Oh, the pictures are cool! Thanx! I have been over to Asia, dunno how I missed seeing Vietnam? Lol, its cool to me, but boring to you right! Ya, I luv riding in the rain, but, I don't think I would be fond of doing it more than a few times! Haha, I saw in a movie, once, when in Australia, they didn't have enough gas, and they were forced to ride bicycles, and that was in the 60's! Haha, over there, they do . guess its a foreign concept to most people!

Niki2105 · 08-26-2005, 09:48 AM

Eweee, ostritch? Lol, I've heard about some pretty weird types of food, but you've just topped it off! I have heard of a buffalo burger! I can at least say that! Never had one though, even if I wasn't vegetarian, I don't think my stomach would like it!

Jonno · 08-26-2005, 06:51 PM

LOL Buffalo is just like beef

never had ostrich although I have eaten weirder things: Emu (doesnt taste like chicken, its like very tough, lean beef) I've had cuttlefish (that is a type of squid and it tastes very WEIRD) I've had squirrel(lol i can see you all saying ew right now), rabbit, venison (deer meat), I apparently ate froglegs when i was little. (mom says i ate a spider too..ew :O )

Laughing. BEAT THAT :P

**Baby_Baby** · 08-27-2005, 09:14 AM

Pareeeee · 08-27-2005, 07:50 PM

LOL@babybaby.

flynngriff · 08-27-2005, 09:24 PM

Ostrich is pretty good... There were actually a lot of ostrich farms around in the 90's. My father owned part of one, and we ate ostrich a few times. It was being raised as a substitute for beef, and honestly it was pretty good. I'm not sure if ostrich farms are still up and running or not, though.

I've also eaten Buffalo a few times, but it didn't seem to be as flavorful as beef.

mlefev · 08-28-2005, 12:27 AM

It depends on what the Buffalo is raised on. Also it's a lot leaner meat, and less fat unfortunately often means less flavor.

Very neat pictures Max you will find, depending on where you are located how different America can be, you can be in a crazy big busy city or a cute country town.
