Does one still get an one way ticket to a re-education camp for showing, selling or manufacturing imperialist memorabilia?

Now I like the look of that T. Nah, no punishment for those, someone behind us in our line for visa on arrival had one on and he ended up being processed ahead of us! Only issues I’ll have with t-shirts is size.
Up at An Bang beach, which is nice and quiet and absolutely lovely.

Plus reports of Great White Shark in the waters are somewhat exaggerated.

Couple of pics from this afternoon, just had a long hot wander around the old town, in there ordering t-shirts. Well would be rude not to.
Did I say the Vietnamese have taste and no D5s? I spoke too soon as this hotel uses one as a courtesy car.

And the local speciality coffee. Think serval coffee but via weasels. I’ll stick to Nespresso thank you.

Glad to hear it, as is SWMBO who has become an avid follower of this thread. Not sure why but might be in case of what I say re her.
Off on food tour of Hoi An tomorrow am, just my kind of tour. Will no doubt have some pics of the local nosh for peeps to enjoy over their cornflakes and/or porridge. For only the second time on the entire jolly we’ll be eating in the hotel tonight as the cold I had (though I wasn’t allowed to call it a cold) has mutated big time and is currently resident in SWMBO. Hell hath no fury like someone with a SWMBO cold. Seeing if a Mojito helps. Purely for research purposes.

Not sure I want see what a drunken SWMBO with a cold is like!
She’ll be fine, it’s only a mild sniffle.

Sorry, been a bit remiss at updating but not that much to update and believe it or not, no pics!!😱
Had a great food tour this morning, over 40 items and virtually all scrummy. Now a bit more confident on the local nosh, plus tried the “fresh beer” which is brewed that day, and is really nice in a light way. Plus at 4,000d (13p for decent sized glass) it’s very nicely priced.
SWMBO still has a cold, and now knows it’s a major social no-no to blow your schnoze in Vietnam!! We are also clearer re rules of the road, they are there but no-one pays any notice of them. Chaos theory in motion but it all works. After a fashion. The place would be gridlocked if all those scooters & bikes were cars. Also the phrase “if you’re not confused you don’t know what’s going on” was used a good few times.
More later, happy hour calls.
Shame SWMBO doesn’t like beer. Note ice in the beer, weird but getting used to it. Cheers

And let me introduce y’all to iced Vietnamese Coffee. This bad boy is strong coffee, slightly bitter, with condensed milk. It is seriously addictive and deeeeeeelish!!

Oh, and got t-shirts delivered yesterday. Tiger one is OK but other two are a bit tight around upper torso. Woman in shop had a serious thing for my body and me showing off my pecks! Not that it got me any discount!
