Ohhhhh. Ok. I see. People with telepathy probably don't even need phones I guess -- just think of a person and just start sending thoughts to them.

So it must be very quiet when you and your friends get together. Everybody just looking at each other nodding a lot.

You really need to hit some clubs and try that out, man. Girls would love that!

Yes, it's been a while since I had any Vietnamese problems that I felt needed to get solved a.s.a.p. Now there's only one girl I sms with and we've been doing the Google translate thing so much that we're both really good at it now, and she's also picked up some English that she tries to use sometimes.

My Vietnamese has improved some, but it's more that the difficult situations haven't come up again.

[Bote]

When she is patient enough to use google translation mean she see you as a big carrot head. Once she know you are cheapskate angmo cannot afford to give her more, you think she still bother to waste time using google translation?

You pick a girl who is keen to learn English. After she pick up Eng, her choice of foreign guy widen, why stay on with a cheapo angmoh.

Vietnam announces heavier fines against drunk drivers to curb traffic deaths

HANOI - Tuesday, May 31, 2016 10:54

he Vietnamese government has revised a decree and increased fines across the board for traffic violations, especially drunk driving, in yet another attempt to reduce the country's high numbers of road crashes and fatalities.

The updated decree, which will take effect this August, sets fines at up to VND18 million (US$803) for car drivers with blood alcohol content of over 80 mg per 100 milliliters, or breath alcohol content of 0.4 mg per liter. Currently, the violation is subjected to a fine from VND10-15 million.

Drivers who refuse to take an alcohol test will face the same penalty.

Fines of up to VND8 million will be imposed on those who drive recklessly or steer the wheel with their feet. These violators will be ordered to pay up to VND20 million if they cause an accident or refuse to pull over.

Drivers under the influence of drugs will have their license suspended for up to two years, in addition to a fine of up to VND18 million.

Motorbike drivers who use cell phones, audio devices or umbrellas will be fined VND200,000. The current fine is VND80,000.

According to the National Traffic Safety Committee, drunk driving has been increasing, with the number of alcohol-related cases accounting for 40 percent of total crashes.

Traffic deaths remain high in Vietnam killing an average of 24 people on a daily basis.

There have been 8,374 crashes so far this year in which 3,588 people died and 7,339 others were injured.

To those intereted in sex info, you are witnessing a campaign of spamming of the thread to squash discussion of girls and sex. They're deliberately posting non-sex related items with big pictures in order to push sex discussion off the current page.

The invovled parties run sex tours. That's their motive. If we don't share info here, then you need a guide. So they gain business.

Would you trust someone who does business that way?

just another of the seedy tactics employed by these kinds of deceptive guys.

Clone trolls is another one.

This is a sex forum. Anyone opposed to discussion of that topic in a thread designed for it is someone up to no good.

The way you can tell who's who on this: the honest guys talk about sex. The other side won't.

Say Yes to Sex, say No to Sleazy tour guides who spam the thread and fill it with clone trolls.

Bot chien or fried rice cake is a Vietnamese street food that resemble Singapore fried carrot cake. It is usually serve with shredded green papaya in fish sauce.

Try out this stall at Tran dinh xu, open morning 7am, taste is pretty average. Stall owner is over 70 yrs old but look energetic when comes to cooking bot chien.
Saw a recommendation from Foody, some people support this stall because of the stall-owner age. Cost 15K per plate.

imho..I don't like because its quite tasteless even if they add the eggs...
I always have to put lots of fish sauce hahaa. but still lack the saltiness from our soya sauce...
maybe too used to taste of Singapore chay tao kway.
but very good posts on food!
keep it up! upz u liao

Singapore chay tao kway - salty, oily, usually texture soft or soggy. White Carrot was included in the flour.

Vietnam Bot chien - bland so need to dip in external sauce, less oily, crunchy. They did not put carrot into the flour.

Read that this dish come from Guangzhou, interesting to see how the same dish in 2 countries evolve differently.

Thanks, I always thought it was shredded papaya in fish sauce.

[Wendella]

Wow, someone just PM'd me to tell me that the guy posting about food is actually a clone of someone else posting here about food, they are in fact the same person.

Is this correct? He said the "gang" is all the same person.

ps -- Im posting this 2 days later -- it seems I misunderstood his PM, he said the tour guide 'created' them, but after another PM, I realize that he meant that they are his cronies, not clones.

Thanks. I just wish guys like you would post more so we can stamp out this foolishness. It's especially sad that the moderator seems to endorse this, and even participate in it. What they are doing is making the thread boring (deliberately it looks like) and driving its audience away.

I'm gathering info on KTV to put up. Also cafes. Maybe more FS MP's.
