As I think I have mentioned beofre, I was scheduled to travel to China over Easter, as part of a school trip for those studying the Chinese culture. Anyway, SARS kicked in, and the trip got cancelled, I was down about $3000, I was not happy.
But then a rumour grew, one that we could move the trip to Vietnam, and for a few hundred bucks, we move the trip and all our travel arrangements. So, in a little over a month, I'll fly to Vietnam. I'll see Saigon and basically the whole country.
Unfortunately there is no helicopter ride through the villages with 'Ride of The Valkyries' playing.

Watch out, those gooks are sneaky bastards. Bayonet every corpse and shoot the trees, but be sure to have fun!

I seriously doubt they'll let him do this on a school trip. They certainly never let me.
OK, there never were neither gooks nor corpses on our school trips anyway, but there were enough trees to easily compensate for that.
Well, if I ever had had anything to shoot them with.

Anyway, good to see you get to go on your trip, afterall,Gandalf.
Have an interesting and hopefully gook-and-corpse-free trip :wink:

Most of those are probably left overs from the war.

Do not touch anything! They're all booby-trapped! And watch out for friendly little kids, they're just using you to bomb places!

If you wanna make that 3,000 back plus about 10,000$ more just get some Cambodian Red and smuggle it back with you and sell it for a few hundered bucks a ounce :D

Also search crashed helicopter sites for old US military surplus! sells good!

It is agains the policy of this board to advocate smuggling, selling or using controlled substances.

I've been to Vietnam, luckily I can blend in better than the average American :D

It's a good place to visit, though I spent half the time at my grandfather's farm in the Mekong Delta.

Isn't that South Korea? Vietnam doesn't have a DMZ. Unless there's one on the border with China or something that I'm not aware of. :P

If you want to keep all your limbs intact, whatever you do.... stay on the course.

Remember: shoot everybody.

There, I think that just about exhausts the supply of relevant Vietnam War movie quotes.

Oh, no, I wouldn't say such things to you, dahlink. :wink:

Travel Sick is an awesome British TV show that's on Comedy Central sometimes (I don't know when it comes on, but I watch it whenever I stumble upon it). It's really fucking hilarious. The host is sent to different places around the world and given things he needs to pass off. It sounds like a reality TV show or something, but it's not.

Gah, it's just really damn cool. 8)
