Any other vietnam discussion forums? by keyboardsmash

This page is pretty quiet.... Can you kindly suggest a more lively Vietnam forum for English writers? I will share a lot of useful knowledge, as I'm very well travelled especially in southeast asia.

Hi, You can make a blog of yourself and write about your Asia experiences. There is no certain channel for English writing. You can message me about your blog. I am a good advertiser! Regards Read More
