I think he is going to fall in love and just bag one, that usually occurs to first timer. It takes a couple of trips back to the motherland for folks to wise up. Trust me I know.

He's staying the full month, without a doubt.
Spool, make sure to jot down places for me to go when I hit it up in August Remember to always wrap it before you tap it

Spool,
u get a scooter and drive around it is amazingly fun. don't let the crazy traffics scare. just go with the flow, its like following a school of fish. Oh at late night time go drinking at Nguyen Chi Phoung street. thats is one of the baller streets for after club hour hang out. there are a bunch of streets that are even better but i forgot the name, I am sure the girls u are tapping will know all the hot spots. |

By the way BMW and BENZ are made in Vietnam also. so if a vietnamese living there can purcahse a BMW made in Vietnam for same price or slightly cheaper as the price here. However if you import a BMW from another country then you have to pay 200% taxes (all foreign cars). So a 335 could end up costing 150K. It may look like a duck does not mean it quacks like a duck.

Usually an imported would sell CKD (usually more mainstream models like 318i, 320i and maybe 325i) and CBUs (complete built units) like 335i, E93s and E92s etc. Having said that, I wonder how much AHL xenons (euros) cost over there?

Yeah traffic back home is nuts esp. at traffic circles. There're like 1000 bikes and scooters going in 1000 different directions. Be careful man...girls throw themselves at guys returning to VN regardless of their age.
