Title: 3 Days in Saigon
Post by ChAntiQ of NarniA on Jul 15^th, 2006, 8:37pm

I've just arrived this morning from a 3-day trip to Saigon. The flight enroute to Manila (stopover at HK for a night hihihi) was better than the Manila to Hanoi (have mercy!). It was not a glam leisure trip. I tagged along with my uncle and his buddies as they went on and about their business trip, and I sorta drifted in and out of their scene to get a whiff of normal Saigon life. I boldly ventured off to see the sights on my own most of the time we were there.

The heat is on... (with a little rain here and there lol)

ChantiQ is an Architect, and yes , I believe she owns that trademark. I, thus, suggest to better know first the person before uttering a word such saying that insulting "duh!" .

By the way, welcome to the Forum, Sneaky.

There are watermark softwares you can buy and then use for the pictures you post on the internet as copyright. ARAVIS is a name of a character in the Chronicles of Narnia. photo---watermark---aravis. Some people are fond of always having their pictures taken, but I'm more interested in taking snapshots of objects and places that are of interest to me. Oh and welcome to the forum. ;)

Coochie
Your thoughts are on the right track girl :P Thanks

Hahaha, ChantiQ. True, it ruins the view of the newly painted one. Or maybe both apartment should coordinate with each other about the painting? Hehe.

Chanti those are nice pics of life in Vietnam. I plan to go there with my daughter in the near future. Did you get the chance to have a bowl of pho(pronounced faaa)? The reason I ask is because some of the pic of the food and carts look like they might be pho related.

Nice views, amiga! I always knew the artist in you would always surface when taking pictures. And by the way, thank you for the postcards you sent me from Saigon. Next time you travel, call me before you leave Manila not when you're already there. ::) I like the poster you brought me but I do not understand what it says. :P

I gotta have chopsticks and a spoon when i eat pho. I hear they put a lot of MSG in the pho over in Vietnam. Anyway I guess the pho you had either didnt have enough in it or not at all.

Why is s p o o n coming up as sthingy????

Yep JOel. They put MSG (monosodiumglutamate) in their dishes. I know this because the effect it has on me when I eat food with MSG is that I feel sleepy. But I repelled it with a lot of walking.

I don't know why the word "S P O O N" is rejected by the forum software and come out as the word "S T H I N G Y". This is the 3rd time I encountered this strange phenomenon at other forums. But it can be fixed tho.

Oh hey there you go. I think Reebopsy fixed the "spoon" - "sthingy" issue. Thanks Reebopbop!

The problem was in the Censored Words setting in my Admin Panel. "Poon" is by default, a naughty word in the Censored Words file. The problem was adding an "s" to "poon". Apparently, Yabb has a problem with seeing bad words running together with no spaces, thus "spoon" became "sthingy". I deleted "poon" from the file.

Ohh..ok..is that the meaning of the vietnamese letters on the posters? Cool, amiga..tnx. ;D And of course I want the pouch but what is the book "thingy"?

When I write something and the Forum censors ignore it, i simply use spaces in between. :P They are not vulgar anyway.
