Take three steps back and take a deep breath
[quote=mikhcmc;1574477]i'm sure we all know what a blow and go looks like, there are thousands of these shops rep001tered around the districts. [/quote]no i don't know what one looks like. same for a ca phe om, restaurant om, et al. generally describing the appearance and signage of these places would be a real help.
[quote=mikhcmc;1574477]the constant bickering by some members who expect full addresses without offering anything in return kinda defeats the purpose of a open discussion forum, so due to these members this thread has evolved into what it has become. [/quote]i could not disagree with you more. some people really enjoy being helpful. they look forward to it. i can remember peering at a map in a major city and people stopping me and asking me if i was lost and offering help.
some people are takers and not givers but those few should not stop discourage those who want to help. as far as giving back, should we really expect a tourist to be able to give back substantive information to an experienced saigon expat? of course the information will usually be going in one direction. we should not be disappointed with this outcome.
some forum members may have been on the forum for too long. they get critical of newbies and abrasive towards other members. as familiarity breeds contempt so these longtime members no longer respect or understand the purpose of the forum. they should take a well-deserved break and come back when their attitude changes.
[quote=mikhcmc;1574477]what are the names and addresses of these shops? get off your ass, jump on a scooter and ride around and take a look. they are not hard to find.[/quote]wow. i think that you need to reevaluate your mission. i believe that you have been swirled up in the bickering and that you have lost your perspective. btw, i am on your side. you have a thankless job.
