Barren horizon

Post by coppinpr »

Hi guys, I'm in Vietnam and I'm feeling withdrawal symtoms, not a coin operated machine anywhere,did sea several karaoke parlors that might suit bp and a greyhound racing stadium (??)which seemed a little out of place, then I found out they no longer use coins here !OMFG! So not much chance of seeing a hi top in use :!?!:

Back in the day, there would have been plenty of slot machines in the military clubs. I guess they were dumped along with all vestiges of Yankee imperialism. !PUZZLED!

Those vestiges were put on display as trophies, JP. Have a scroll through these photos:

Vietnam has really changed,the least communist country you can imagine ,about as capitalist as you can get, I was here 3 years ago and there was little sign of it then,even mm ore so now,all motor bikes (50,000,000)and few cars but they don't want the cheap Chinese bikes only japanese high end models. Also a hugh class gap between town and country which is very non communist , bp,don't worry it all sound bad in vietnamese :o
