    1. #12 You think that knowing how to speak English, somehow, makes you better than the local Vietnamese people;
      #13 You never wear shorts because you afraid people will see your skinny legs.
      #14 You have the built of a 12 year old boy, but think lifting weighs is for thugs.
      #15 You have no problem eating those disgusting duck eggs with the tiny little dead duck inside.
      #16 You act and talk ghetto because you think that all Americans act and talk that way.
      #17 You think Vietnam is the only place in the world you want to go for holidays.

      #3 who dosen't get excited for TET? What's better than getting money right after Christmas?

  7. This has got to be one of if not the most arrogant, anti-vietnam blog I've ever read!!!! Pretty sad considering YOU are a 'Nammer. Don't even know why you're here - you should go back to "Guns'r Us" U.S.A. for good.

    Support your blog - don't think so.

    1. Do you even know how to read? this is actually one of the most realistic Vietnamese blogs out there. if You want trite happy go lucky shit then read the hundreds of other blogs about nothing written by boring ass people. what I dare tp question and comment about.the culture is based off of own perspectives.if you don't enjoy realistic humor then don't read this shit because it is clearly way too intricate and deeper than youll ever grasp.

    2. Me being a Vietnamese ethnic person allows me to say the things I say because unlike you. ignorant white people living here I understand the language and have grown up intertwined with both east and west. of.course I am biased. so is everyone. and who the Hell says nammer?

      This blog is not meant for simpleton white people nor for local Viets with no humor and clenched butt cheeks with nothing better to do.

    3. I think Kyle is "bac ky". I mean who from the south would pronounce " the gioi" as " the zoi"

  8. This blog is awesome. Thank you for having the courage to write the honest truth about your experiences in Vietnam. It is very informative and actual because you understand the language and culture better than anyone who doesn't speak Vietnamese. Keep up the good work.

  10. no offense to anyone, but the only folks who can understand what kyle listed here are vietnamese who were born and raise in a vietnamese community. Even if you are asian, have asian parents, but grew up in a non-vietnamese community, you will NOT get it.

    i can proudly say that i check in and can relate to Kyle's list, specifically point #3. I am Vietnamese American and I look forward to TET! For those who are clueless, it will be difficult for you to truly understand unless you grew up with it :)

    Good list nonetheless Kyle. Keep it coming bro!
