I live in Asia, and normally, "salted cheese" is a bad translation for lightly salted cream. Also, (in Vietnamese anyway) water is assigned to any liquid. I'm assuming this is a lightly salted cream soda

Tokay gecko facts - the tokay and it's sound are thought to be a good omen of successful business in Vietnam. Apparently they also make good jerky!

Tbf, we have a shit ton of knock off Chinese cars on the road in Vietnam, and even more knock off motorcycles.

I live in Vietnam, and I'm here to tell you that bugs and rats are more expensive than rice. I've eaten them all 🍽️

In Vietnam we're losing crop because of saltwater backflow on the Mekong. Dams have been built in several places upstream and all the reservoirs are being filled.

...how? Like, it cost $30 (10 gal) to fill my petrol car in the states. Even if I was using 150kwh in electricity, at my power rate in Wisconsin ($.13/kWh), it's $19.95. I live in Vietnam now, and pay 2500 VND per kWh, and petrol is about 23500vnd/litre. I have an electric moped that goes 110km/charge, and has a usable capacity of about 0.7kwh. I rarely empty the battery, but even if I did it daily, it would be .08USD/day.

I'd like to see the math crunched on this.

Edit: I found the math. It's dishonest. Shocker.

In Vietnam, I think it's just most names 😂. Anh Nguyen is probably a good example. Most Vietnamese have the last name Nguyen. The national naming conventions rival that of religious families in the west. Think, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Anh, An, Thanh, and Minh. Women are the same, but named after things considered beautiful, Tuyet, Hong, Pham, Van.

Funny enough, many names aren't always gendered, so I've met a decent amount of couples with the same first and last names. An Thi Nguyen, and An Van Nguyen is a couple that comes to mind. I dont have to worry about doxxing, since I bet that exists over 1000x here.

400/400 Viettel in Vietnam. I pay 2.5m/VND a year. About $114 US.

I live in South Vietnam. I stay inside for the hours between 12 and generally 3-4. If I'm outside during those hours, I stay still as much as possible. Always have a drink: lite tea is common here. Avoid direct sun, cover exposed areas of skin when traveling. Evaporative cooling is your friend. You can keep a small spray bottle of water with you. Fans heat up a room if the room isn't vented, so keep the fan on, but crack the door if you don't have AC.

I'm originally from a city quite close to Canada, known for harsh winters, and now I live in a place where 40c is common. If the temperature gets too high, or you begin feeling sick/dizzy. Find a place to cool down and hydrate. Heat stroke is no joke.
