Hey, missmae. I'll get as worked up as I like. I completely disagree with your outlook here, assuming you actually mean what you say, and I find your perky, chirpy, cheerful take on such grim matters to be deeply offensive. If some goddamn moron ... Read More

Guys calm down! That's the Vietnamese way of driving. Here are no rules besides DRIVE FASTER. People shooting out of alleys is totally normal. They will not look and it's your responsibility to slow down when you pass a "hem" (alley), crossroad ... Read More

How To Handle The Heat On Race Day!! by spajcte

How are New and Old Expat dealing with this heat? Do you usually stay indoor? Usually around 10Am to 4Pm I tried to avoid going outside LOL Where is a nice place to hang out during this "Hot Times"? Few tips: " Cold Beer, Swimming Pool "

Miss Mae

Most people work until 5 pm. If you're lucky enough not to work I would recommend you to stay inside or go to a coffee and drink ice coffee. We usually take long naps during lunch and avoid going outside. The sun is cruel! Read More
