"I'm here for the culture" said the bitter expats who seemingly hate everything about Vietnam - aside from the cost of living and lax visa laws. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The same bitter expats who spend their "waking hours crying about VN whilst they blow their pensions on women and booze and bark at terrified waitstaff. The masters of phrases that begin or end with 'these people'." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "I'm not talking about tourists. They are not tourists. They've been here for years." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Years of slack jawed proselytizing about the virtues of Western ideology and how backwards everything is and how things could be so much better if only the world were just as easy and simple as their myopic minds could imagine." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Years of hiding the lonely reality of fixed income, transient living, and death." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "People come here for all kinds of reasons. A lot of those reasons are the same. You get to live in a beautiful country full of mostly awesome people and it never gets cold...at least down South." ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Why come here and then never shut up about how better it was back home?" ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
