mlroseplant Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 . . . for three weeks anyway. We're heading to Vietnam in just a few hours, and to honor my wife's wishes, I will be wearing flatties there. I do hope to get some great pictures, as we haven't seen the family for two years, and Hanoi is a good place to spot some very lovely women wearing some pretty doggoned tall heels.
JeffB Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Well, have a safe and happy trip. Don't forget to bring back postcards! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman!
mlroseplant Posted February 7, 2013 Author Posted February 7, 2013 We have made it safely to Hanoi and with no damaged or lost luggage to boot! Er, no pun intended.
Shafted Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 We have made it safely to Hanoi and with no damaged or lost luggage to boot! Er, no pun intended. You've already beaten the odds.

Bubba136 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 That was quick. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
mlroseplant Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 That was quick. It didn't FEEL very quick! Doorstep to doorstep, it took us about 32 hours to get here, 19 of which were actually spent flying. It's a relatively quick, but brutal way to travel. Tonight at midnight (GMT +7) is the Lunar New Year, known in Vietnam as Tết. It's the most exciting time of the year to be in Vietnam.
ilikekicks Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I need to ask.. Is Saigon still named Ho Chi Mhin city? REPEATEDLY ARGUMENTATIVE, INSULTING AND RUDE. BANNED FOR LIFE.
mlroseplant Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 I need to ask.. Is Saigon still named Ho Chi Mhin city? It is. Although Saigon is still in popular usage in the vernacular.
SF Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 It will always be Saigon to me... "Why should girls have all the fun!!"
mlroseplant Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 I tend to call it Saigon to the older generation, and HCMC to the younger. Either way, nobody even raises an eyebrow either way. It's just a name. Even to this day, the 3 letter airport code for the southern city is SGN. Go figure.
