10. the quote above
11. I love the freshness and the variety of the foods, herbs (rau cai) and seafood
12. I love it when paying for the ciggies, tho smoking is bad.

13. I love The natural food here. As a Chinese, we - breath in 'colorful' air( it get tast too, its sweet!), - eat very questionable food( DO never go to the kitchen of a restaurant, and DO never ask what you are eating, just eat it!), - drink poison milk( ask people from HongKong, they got lots to tell!)

14. I love The liveness here. Most places in Europe( include America) are peace and quiet, Only it's too quiet! In fact, you wouldn't find any restaurant or shop open later night. The only few services you have is in hospital or police station, and I don't want any of that.

15. I love The security here. Some people might disagree, but if you have lived Arica you know what I'm talking about. Just few days earlier, our warehouse in Burundi has been 'visited' by 16 armed man. 6000 USD lost, some machines lost. 4 workers (two Chinese) terrified. And its Second Time! - me myself have been pointed by AK-47 while travel to Congo. -  Nigeria bandits often rob bank in Benin at midnight, and run away before morning. Etc.

Before I come to Vietnam, many Chinese people warn me that Vietnamese people do not like or even Hostile toward us due to the history. But i been Vietnam almost 2 months and people here it's not like that at all! They are friendly and lovely people! They don't treat us any differently.
I start reflect and learned a big lesson.       You can't judge anything just basic on your assumption or logical deduction, you can't judge all the Vietnamese people based on few unfriendly vietnamese people in china.
You want know Vietnam, then you must come to see by yourself! What i found is They already moved on but  we didn't.  And if we still have those negative energy in our mind, not only Vietnamese people don't like it, nobody in the world will like it. Because what energy you give it's what you will receive.
So they use their Hospitality to make those critics eat their words! Well done.

Plus, I love Vietnam

16. Every morning all the kids on my street say "good morning, how are you? I'm fine"
17. Beautiful flowers everywhere
18. Driving around town on my motobike, with my son. (I live in Vung Tau so driving is both fun and relaxing)

19. i love the food here. So many flavors and different taste.
20. I love the feeling riding on the motobike(just sit on the back and feel the wind) at night.
21. I love it when I smile and people smile back.

22. i love the sunrise
23. i love the flowers that bloom year round and some of them are so awsome.
24. i love the people here who are so friendly and easy to approach.

25. I love watching the kids playing in the park near my house. They are Korean, American, French, Vietnamese and maybe other countries. They speak their mother-tongue language and all sounds like birds singing...I have no ideas what they are talking about while playing, some even talking to themselves...how cute
26. I love it when I occasionally catch the scene that a single dad walking, biking or playing with his son/ daughter in parks, shopping malls or on the streets...I can see how much love and caring in the dady...happy and peaceful, that's it
27. I love laying down on grass, along the beach or maybe just standing in my balcony watching sunrise in early morning...feeling how a new day starts in that way always makes me feel happy

3 more please...
28. I love how genuine and positive the vibes are...here in Vietnam.
29. I Love my wife for manny reasons but one reason is that she is capable and willing to call me on my b.s. periodically....OK,Ok...frequently.
30. I love the way that Vietnamese women are not afraid to be strong willed and very feminine.
