Anyone remember what kind of minds are amused by small things?
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.

Why does everything here end in rancour?

Folks, let's retire somewhere we can all agree to disagree if necessary... ^:)^

Folks do not like being reminded of their hypocrisy.

I'm also a fan. I think Da Nang is well worth a look, it's got the most beautiful beach imaginable.
It's just a strand of pure white sand, about 100m wide stretching away in both directions for miles.
Spotlessly clean.
I've also found the locals to be extremely generous and kind, and not at all obsessed with the war. Maybe winning it helped?

I don't think my own countrymen would be as forgiving had they found themselves in the same spot.

Now we all know that our dear friend Kim John Hill loves to wind people up if he can. A young chap in Vietnam said to me that the Vietnamese like to think that they are the biggest Capitalist socialist country in the world and that means bigger than New Zealand!!
Da Nang is definitely worth a visit.
