KL has now made the list. Sounds intriguing. Plus I may have waited too long to pivot…is the visa process for Vietnam difficult?

is the visa process difficult? I may have cut it too close pivoting this late.

yea, plenty of malls in Thailand. Not much for shopping anyway. The only things I don’t like in Thailand is difficulty with the language to a certain extent and can’t get used to the food. The Phils I thought was the best the best of both worlds, they speak English and more ‘Westernized’. Didn’t realize the crime was so bad and it was run down as much as people say. Surprising for such a big city.

my main thing is the crime. I can filter through the opinions part. If I was in the US I would just wing it and give it a go. Over here, if you get into a fight with a pickpocket or someone trying to rip you off, we don’t get the benefit of the doubt. I’d rather not be a “Locked Up Abroad” episode. There has been some good feedback.

You don’t look like you’d be a target, lol, but what was your impression of the crime. And which did you prefer? We prob have a few of the same tastes. I’m not going for museums or shopping.

They all think they are gonna get hired by a famous band like Arnel Pineda did with Journey!😅😅 But no kidding, that dude can Sing!

How difficult is the visa process in Vietnam, have I cut it too close?

how difficult is getting a visa? Have I cut it too close? I was set on the Philippines until reading the stories. Now I’m having to pivot.

I was gonna stay for upwards of a few weeks to a month. Not sure how immigration is going to react to multiple quick border bounces with the new exemptions being lengthened. I’ll probably be fine, but I’m good with exploring other cities in the meantime, especially seeing how I’m 10,000 miles from home anyway. I might have waited too long on the visa deal…I’ll do checking tonight.

Have you been to Kuala Lumpur? Some interesting arguments being made for going there too…
