No recourse to the law in Vietnam by jezer82
Following a row about parking, 5 'security guards' followed me down the road and started to beat me in broad daylight. I managed to get away without serious injury to myself (and them). police came and surprise, surprise took their side. Also, took ...

The guy in charge is wise. It's a no win situation, and the best way to handle it is to do what he's doing. It'll go away, just have to wait it out when a new member questions it.Hi Budman, I'm not sure if he is that wise. Look at the destination ... Read More
