Now if you notice, my passport is laying on a piece of paper with my screen name on it. That is something that you can not just pull off the internet. Your screen name physically laying next to the image of your screen name, not digitally printed onto the image is something that makes the image unique. For example, I Googled the phrase "Vietnam Visa Wyatt Earp" and you know what I came up with? Lots of images of Wyatt Earp and lots of images of old time firearms. And that's why I posted my passport stamps for my field reports for my trips this past year to SE Asia and to Bogota over the Labor Day weekend. There are too many charlatans on internet forums posing as experts. Thanks to the plethora of info about anything on the internet, its easy for anyone who has never been 50 miles from home to portray himself as a man of the world on internet forums. Consider this example of an impressive young man who convinced experienced travelers that he was an expert on adventure travel. Problem was, he was a con man.

I hope that clarifies my quest for veracity on this forum.

If I want information about Vietnam, I know damn well you would provide me the information.
Fuck these armatures that don't add anything to this site!

I strongly recommend you pay for the subscription. A lot of info can be found not on these pages, but when you talk to fellow members.
If the money's tight, you can easily find this listing on Airbnb. Just look for a cheap 1 B with the ocean views on Atlantica in Copa.

Vietnam is a wonderful country to visit. I think Vietnamese women are very beautiful. From my limited experience, the scene is always changing, but there is always something cooking for mongers. Hey, it's Asia. Those Asian guys are dogs.

Learning Portuguese will open up a new world to you instead of just seeing Brazil through the lens of a gringo.

I had the time of my life when I went to Rio for carnival in 2004 and 2006 and I did not speak the language. Returned last December after learning some basic phrases; had a great time.
My first time in the DR, Sosua, 9-10 years ago, that was my best trip in the DR ever; again, I did not speak a word of the language.
I've been exploring many countries since 1978 (thanks to the Navy), and personally, I would be bored to death in places like Black Beards Resort and Casa Blanca.
But then again, everyone has their own safety zone.

These forums have reports by people who walked down La Linea in Guatemala City or strip clubs in Lagos. I have walked around Avenue La Greiff In Medellin's Centro after dark to look at the street meat. Not recommended but somebody has to do so you don't have to. That was my first trip to Latin America, period. I've walked into dark compounds in Bali only to have guys walk out of the shadows and say "You need lady?" only to find out that these were safe and friendly spots for great, cheap sex with tiny Asian girls.
What does this website say at the top of the page? Money is world's greatest aphrodisiac. And guess what? Money is also the language of short-term love. I have yet to monger in a country where money has not transcended all linguistic barriers.
The internet has created a class of low level mongers. Some will ascend or others will stay in their "safe place" bubbles, seeking out the first-world safety of the FKK clubs in Germany or places like the Mansion in MDE as long as they have the substantial cash for it. But, for those who aspire for more, low level mongers will never get much respect. We can't help you go to places we never went to and never will go to unless we find ourselves in a wheelchair.
