dude that old lady was selling Q-Tips... i wonder how lucrative that is. when i retire i may want to move to saigon to sell Q-Tips.

Good eye man - I actually had to buy a bag from her to get her to let me take her picture. I think I calculated that I paid $.02 for about 20.

thanks for difuse!!

They treat Americans well. They are well over that war. Keep in mind that was 30 yrs ago and they fought 3 wars since then. Series of unfortunate events and they harbor no real visual hard feelings about it.
