So many fake things in Vietnam

Although I (and many expats) have been aware of this since our first week of living in Vietnam when you buy a phone charger only to find it lasts exactly 33 days

By Stivi Cooke November 11, 2017, 19:35 GMT+7



I have this theory that fakeness is contagious. And Vietnam is suffering a pandemic. There’s a cure that involves smacking people around the head with a wet ‘banh mi,’ unfortunately however, a vaccine involving human trials.......

One thing I have to laugh about though, this likely means that Vigara and Cialis, along with rhino and elephant horn, and heaven knows what other ingredients are all fake. Sorry, guys – you’re out of luck!

The first fake I bought was a lolex in HCMC about 25 years back. Don’t say me I am goondu since there was no reference points then. If only got someone to handhold or can read up but don’t have hor. But everything else is like you said. So did lost anything except the face. At the end of the day, everything has a value. So I came here once a while to register my presence or simply clown around. Who said no one hue me? The herd mentality got the better of many a newbies. My PM everytime kana flooded if I solicit with a head fake. I just want to appreciate many here include your good self and this is like my sincere way of saying thank u for your diatribes against those commercialism in this part of the world where you can go 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Sometimes I get impatience when you rattled like an old man or a broken record. Sometimes I get amused by your smart Alex-y retorts.

I am sincere when I asked you not to play doctor. Antibiotics is a class of medicines that is oft abused, especially in countries Like Wetnam. A penicillin pill cost only 0.01 cents to produced and to be used only as a last resort, maybe able to get rid of an infection. But there are risks associated with the use. A doctor look at what type of infection and decide among the 7 major types to target at a problem. A physician can also scale up if one of these is ineffective. In critical situations, a cocktail of antibiotics can offer say in a life threatening situation. Each type of drug can also develop allergy. There is a real risk on the immune system too. Resistance or sensitivity is something we have to be aware and a good physician ought to lay out the plan to treat the patient even after a discovery process. The problem with you is this. You have started to think more like a Vietnamese. That is not good when it comes to your health. After a certain age, our engines need servicing and even overhauling. We don’t have a lot of spare parts if you take stock. If one is transparent, we can see a fatty liver, tar laced lungs, plagued chocked arteries. And if you take a course of antibiotics, the rich gut flora diminished, disappeared and is gone forever. And ever part of the body is related some where. Bro, why you take it so personally when I just yank your chain? I just tried to rattled you with a benign statement nia. Lighten up la. You know my stories and my histories better than myself, so take it with a pinch of salt. I am only pissed with antibiotics not you of course. The others see thro my ploy immediately but you still ‘mule’ over it. Don’t small gas. I hardly pass by but had you at hello.

Personally I hate going to the doctor. You got to drag me dying if I am to see one. So I can see where you are coming from. Most admittingly I have brought antibiotics, topical cream to remote mountains. I have also given strong stuff to people without access to quality medical care. But your case is very frevolous.

I go to some agricultural countries and when I walk pass the shops selling animal feeds, I get disgusted by The rampant disrespect for how we raise cattle, pigs and fowls. It is so blatant: a illiterate farmer pick up antibiotics on the cheap and use the drug on the 20,000 birds inside his farm not to treat a bird cold but to prevent the chickens from falling ill or dying.

You are no cow pig or chick. Just so you know, My head fake comment is not about your dick

This is the 14th storm that hit Vietnam this year 2017...those in hcm brace for plenty of rain...wet wet wet...

Tropical depression strengthens into storm as it heads toward south-central Vietnam

By Huu Nguyen November 17, 2017 | 10:54 pm GMT+7

The new storm is expected to make landfall in south-central coast and affect Saigon on Sunday.

A tropical depression has strengthened into the 14th storm of the year after entering the East Sea, internationally known as the South China Sea, on Saturday morning.

It is forecast to hit the south-central provinces, from Khanh Hoa, which is still recovering from Typhoon Damrey, to Binh Thuan, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.



At 5 a.m. on Saturday, the storm was east of the Spratly Islands with wind speeds of up to 75 kilometers (47 miles) per hour.

Over the next 24 hours, the storm will move move west-northwest at 25 kph as is expected to continue to gain strength.

By 4 a.m. on Sunday, the storm would be 150 km east of Khanh Hoa-Binh Thuan coast with wind speeds of up to 90 kph.

After making landfall in the south-cetral coast, the storm will weaken into a tropical depression. By the time in crosses over to southern Cambodia on Monday morning, its maximum speeds will be under 40 kph.

While forecasters say the storm is unlikely to directly hit Ho Chi Minh City, strong winds and rains of 15-20 millimeters are expected.

The city's authorities on Friday held an emergency meeting to discuss the incoming storm. At the meeting, its top leaders instructed local officials to be on high alert and be ready to evacuate residents on Thanh An Island and those living in temporary shelters.

Vietnam has been suffering from destructive stormy weather once again this year. Typhoon Damrey, which made landfall in the central region two weeks ago, killed more than 100 people and damaged or destroyed over 100,000 houses. Deadly floods last month also killed more than 80 people and washed away hundreds of homes.

Last year, tropical storms and flooding killed 264 people in Vietnam and caused damage worth VND40 trillion ($1.75 billion), nearly five times more than in 2015.
