looks real nice
looks like europe more than asia

LOL, thanks for posting the pics here. 2 What is ur nick on Lạc Việt forum, SlantedVision?
Some buildings still look exactly like that on the pics. Hanoi reminds me of Paris.

everything looks french or chinese, i dont see no viet influence whats so ever

i don't have nick on there, Preydominator.

hey nigg, where are u from ??

Ah interesting pictures.

wow, vietnam is a nice place.

^^if you're not in the city....damn its hard too breath there...

hey I would like to see more old pics of Vietnam please.

BROOO,
your signature picture, of the couple, I have that exact object/couple right beside me -.- but i have red and white

Seeing old pictures of Vietnam makes me feel very sad and hopeless for our people. Why do our people look sooo lazy and why are we so careless about the way we look? And why is there like barely anyone with shoes? Is it that hard to make clothes/shoes/anything?? Why are we so reliant on foreigners, we can't even make a simple factory to manufacture/produce clothing/shoes. It's like we have a huge learning disability and are never able to evolve.

no worries, 2010 will be vietnams lucky year with its developing status. 2050 will be the time to end all the pain. although the road would be more swift without you know what
