Random Thoughts from our life in Vietnam

Whichever one of our neighbors locks the padlock on the highest lock deserves some sort of punishment. I'm not sure what, but it should be annoying and force them to stand outside the building for 10 minutes when they desperately need a bathroom.

60,000 dong is way too much for a meal, but never too much for a decent beer.

Cold showers are never cold enough.

Crackers and cheese and microwave popcorn make for a pretty appetizing dinner.

Furnished apartments are not as appealing as they sound aka just becuase it looks comfortable doesn't mean it is.

It is worth 4000 extra dong not to have to lug five liters of water four blocks.

In Vietnam, it only costs $11 to run the internet 12 hours a day, seven days a week.

You never realize how much you appreciate squirrels until you don't see them every day.

If the end of rainy season means the end of cool afternoon thundershowers, I hope it never ends.

Saturday night live episodes that weren't funny five years ago, are somehow funnier in Vietnam.
