Cracking pics Pal. Piss poor countries apparently. Doesn't look like it. London without the stabbings, ghettos and i bet they are proud to fly their National flag without upsetting the imported locals? ;-) :angel:

Holiday of a lifetime. :tup:

Not a problem, the Causeway Coastal Route is stunning but you’d also love The Wild Atlantic way down the west coast of Ireland from Londonderry to Cork as well. Starting to think I should be getting a commission from the Northern Irish Tourism Board 💰💰💰

Both cities, HCMC and Hanoi are a mixture of low standards and high standards of life/ living, but there is no getting away from the fact that the locals are one of the friendliest people I have come across in my travels. They are more than willing to help you out, even if their English isn't the best, and they don't want anything in return, in fact offering any sort of tip for a service or just for them assisting is a little bit frowned upon. At the weekends they close the roads around the area we are in and the locals come out in their thousands to enjoy the evening's. They stroll around, cycle, jog, dance and the kids run about without any fear. There is no drinking on the streets and not a single person is causing bother. We in the UK could learn a lot from them. They may not have much but what they have they are willing to share :tup: And in some places they will even share the ladies :P :shock: :zip:

We are too far gone GW fear and loathing in the UK. I would say to any 3rd world developing country....Social media will seem like a good idea at the time. A mate a mine as just come back from 2 months in Thailand and he's swapped that many ladies he's a nervous wreck because of it. :)

Hanoi, some things still get moved around the city, the old way, and cross the road if you dare, they stop for no one :lol:

When we were there we actually found it entertaining to just wait and watch at a junction and wonder how the hell no one was crashing into anyone else. Motor bikes everywhere and complete mayhem! Great fun.

So right Bob, even after being there for a week and seeing how crazy it was/is we still were left amazed at how they avoid each other, totally bonkers :)
We even had locals help us cross the roads on 2 occasions when it was rush hour and there was just no let up in the traffic. They didn't need to but just did it out of kindness. I found the Vietnamese people very kind and helpful.

Not this time. Been on one in the Sahara in Morocco up and down sand dunes. Not for the faint of heart!
