If you research "Vietnam Travel Warnings" you find that you should NEVER drink water or ice in Vietnam as hygeine is poor also they have many desease's the west doesn't {like bird flu many cases} so you need vaccinations. Tourists are targeted by thieves so it is recommended to check which areas are safe. There are other issues to consider if going to Vietnam.
sounds like you're an experienced traveller to VN, eh? It's true you shouldn't drink fresh water there, nor anywhere in the Orient apart from Singapore, but it's perfectly natural to buy bottled water - we do that in Sydney too. Yes, you need vaccinations - so what?
As far as "targetted by thieves" - well, give us a break! - how many muggings in Sydney these days? My daughter was mugged on a city station at 3 in the afternoon.
I repeat, from my many trips, I've found it very safe in VN.
Now if you mentioned another SE Asian country, that would be different. Mrs Ozzie and I have been accosted by terrorists wielding their AK-47s in another place but still I wouldn't keep away.
However VN we've have found a delight to visit. Actually I have permanent accommodation there.
So, Renee, you need not fear going there.
You could come down to Sydney on the way back!!

G'day Country Woman,
How are you? I'm sorry we've been a little quiet lately, Mrs ozzie and I have health problems.
Spitsbergen (Arctic circle)
it's really impressive.
Oh yes! How we'd love to visit that part of the world again! We found it rather expensive with the exchange rate but still a magnificent part of the world. Mrs Ozzie woul like to visit in mid-winter next time! Brave, eh?
Of course the Netherlands have many attractions too!
Cheers, Ozzie

I prefer to holiday somewhere I don't have to worry about waking up and someone stole my kidney..or bringing back souviners like hepatitis
Racist overtones? Tut, tut.
Rest assured you'll be quite safe, in fact, I've spent many, many trips to Viet Nam and feel safer there than I would at night in Sydney!

the most tourist friendly place in the world
That's what i like about them Aussies, they're so modest!
To be honest, although Australia's home, I don't know about claiming it's the most tourist-friendly place. I guess it's very subjective, but my experience of travelling to scores of countries would make me cautious about that claim.

G'day Renee,
We only know English and I know a very small part of French.
I'd vote for Viet Nam; a beautiful country, vibrant, friendly people, and a great exchange rate to do whatever you want. Try it, you'll see.
Cheers, Ozzie

Crisis of Consciousness: Finally Got It
by RAYZORBLADE inoops, well i had intended to post a message along with this new topic and my fingers were faster than my brain (need more coffee .
well, i suppose it's like preaching to the converted; me obtaining this book, but i guess it's one of those things i just needed to do to finalize everything.. i know there are countless topics on ray franz' book.
but to finally pick it up, i feel like: 'i can hardly wait to read it'.. before, i more or less figured: 'i am out of the wtbts, so why bother?'.

Paradise=Muslim's 70 virgins or Witnesses=Eternity singing kingdom songs!
by Witness 007 inboy do i feel ripped off!
as a witness if i spend my life at meetings and field service my reward is............eternity with the witnesses gardening which i hate.....and singing kingdom songs.
no t.v no booze no fun no nothing and to boot i don't get my 70 virgins like the muslims......i mean for 70 virgins i would be willing to go thru all the meetings and field service........but to spend eternity with your circuit oversear and a bunch of bethelite's i think the living would envy the dead.

Really?? I wonder how Mrs 007 would feel if she read your words here?
Remember how concerned you were that she might read what her husband has been writing?
My wife burst into the computer room and found me {gasp} talking with Apostates on this site! Now she doesn't go Witnessing anymore and only very rarely goes to a meeting...but talking to Apostates is not on! I quickly closed down but had to log-off later so she doesn't find out that Iam "Witness 007." Some personal stuff is on here and she is very private..........she's probably at home right now searching the Net History!

A suggestion: only write what you'd be comfortable with anyone reading. As a rule, if you feel you could be embarrassed, then don't post it.
