Overall the cost of living in Ho Chi Minh City is cheap and if you can stay away from Western restaurants and use just local products in your everyday life it's really cheap.

Indochina gets into your blood and once you have a taste you'll find it's impossible to stay away.

If, at the end of my days, the sum of what I've taken exceeds the sum of what I've given, then I have lived in vain.

Born in the Flint, Michigan, big boat sailing on the Great Lakes and skiing in the winter was how most of my youth was spent.

Thailand has good medical care and even though I haven't tried it, Singapore is said to have high quality care also.

I would say healthcare in Vietnam is so-so. There are several international clinics that are good but expensive and the care offered is limited.

For the most part Ho Chi Minh City is safe but like any large city you need to pay attention to what's going on around you.

Why Ho Chi Minh City? It is crowded, noisy, scruffy, crazy, but always interesting and things are happening all at a break neck speed.

I'm divorced and have a son and a grandson and it is a problem being away most of the time. Living as I do, if I had a wife and children I think it would be really hard to do.

My home address is a small apartment in Fair Oaks, California but I'm here in Ho Chi Minh City right now staying in a rented room and this is where I spend a good part of every year.

On my discharge, I had the challenge of putting my life back together but Vietnam stuck in the inner recesses of my mind.

Three things in life you will never have to chase: True friends, true love and your destiny!

You are a winner

human urine is both nutrient-rich and an effective tooth whitener

Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over.

My nomadic childhood dramatically fed my eventual decision to be an actor, but not in the way you might think

That's what I miss, being a real human.

My father was a bullfighter.

Our editors, I'm afraid, have come to believe that the photograph is an end in itself. They've forgotten that the photograph is only the subsidiary, the little brother, of the word.

If we each get on a treadmill right now, one of two things is going to happen... either you're going to get off first or I am going to die. Period.

Our pleasance here is all vain glory, This false warld is but transitory.
