Vietnam experience

Yes the traffic is terrible, it won't change any time soon.

- "Too hot." There are many other places on the list of top retirement/vacation destinations with much warmer and/or higher humidity. In SEA: Thailand, Philippines, India. In North America: Mexico, many parts of AZ, TX, and FL.

- "Too many pesky mosquito's that bite." See above. In South America: Brazil. In SEA: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines. In South Pacific: French Polynesia. In North America: a dozen US states (three words: no-see-ums.)

- "Way over the top too much motorbike traffic and people it's off the hook crazy." Agree.

The heat beats the "freezer" back in Michigan where I grew up but I can't deny the motorbike traffic is beyond crazy - especially with NO rules being enforced. Also, the pollution here in HCMC is sooo bad! Even after being her over a year these two things still bother me.

In a few more years I can retire and move out in the country somewhere with my lovely Vietnamese wife: - )  She makes it all bearable.

On the positive side: the food is cheap.

I like to think positive.

Too hot? maybe but cold showers are very refreshing
Mozzies are easy - use a cream and they don't bite.
The horrible roads are great for photography.
