This guy is cruising the streets selling military gear. Many people love to wear it. It’s all with American flags. I almost crashed my motorbike while taking this picture. Someone almost hit me. View attachment 8523

Wow, I'm surprised that it is legal for civilians to wear military uniforms there. A lot of Country prohibits doing that and are even punishable by law.

These are pictures deep in the Mekong Delta in Can Tho, the picture of me standing on the little boat is the tip of a border to Cambodia. You can actually get into Cambodia illegally right here. There is no checkpoint here. The other pictures are of Dragon Fruit which is one of the best fruits here, there are lots of fruits here that you can't get in America. The Dragon Fruit fields are amazing and the other ones are of a floating market, you can buy fruits while you are on a boat.

Once you are here, it is very very cheap to travel around. It is nothing like traveling in America. I can break everything down, you would be shocked of how cheap it is to travel.

Where do I live? This is Vietnam, haha, there are fake apple stores all over the place, fake everything as well as real but no company, nobody can stop anything here. Countries can't even tell them what to do , let alone countries. There is not freedom of speech though. Keep in mind, there are only 5 communist countries in the world and this is one of them, however it is the most capitalist society I have ever been in. Vietnam is the land of the free, anything goes.

They sell US military uniforms all over the place. This is a group that gets together once a month for lunch and then hanging at a cafe all day. They are all related to VC that are still currently living. I hang out with them when I have the time. They are all wearing US military gear , one of their cars, they even put US Army stuff all over it. Keep in mind, the war was a long time ago and not their generation. They love the American culture, even the Viet Minh and Cong that I know praise America.

So if you're in danger( knock on the wood), how are you going to know the real soldier/police officer from the fake one if they allow civilians to wear those uniforms?

I've seen dragon fruit growing before and imo they are a beautiful plant and fruit. Nice pics! Here on the east coast the pink ones, which I think are visually the best, are unfortunately bland and watery. They yellows taste much better, but aren't as eye catching.

I love jackfruit. Are they popular in Vietnam?

Yes. there are some trees near me. I will take some pictures for you. I eat it all the time, I will post some pics of my favorite fruit next.

Because the Vietnamese police wear their own uniforms, they look nothing like soldier uniforms. There are 3 types of Viet police. i will go over them soon. They do some crazy stuff here. I wish I could post videos, I have videos of some wild stuff!

Dangerous snakes there I'm assuming?what about shit like tigers?

Patty, I am safe as can be here it is when I go to Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos, that is where the risk happens and it is severe risk because I am not doing the tourist thing. I am going to the deepest bowels in the world, the most dangerous illegal stuff you can imagine, I am around. I was told one they thought I was a reporter, haha , I get looks left and right. Next trip I will try to sneak pictures of the bears, tigers, rhino horns etc. all the casinos are unregulated too.

Ese, I am in the city , not the jungle, that stuff is far far from me. I live just like downtown La or Chicago, big city.

Just meant when you're on you're adventures what you gotta look out for. I know you're slangin and banging in the penthouse🫡

I am really into the cockfights here but they are hard to find, you have to know people because they are illegal. But they are here if you know the right people, which I do. They are very different than the ones in Cambodia, but still great. I often go to the park to watch them get ready and then they are brought to the circle for the fight.. I usually lose betting them but it it's fun. I was in a raid a few years ago when the cops came. Everyone had to pay money but the fights kept going on.
