They are a free-market economy.

They only became a prosperous country after dropping the heart of that commie garbage.

They are still a one-party dictatorship but they are socialists now.


I'd visit too if I had the time or money. My dad said it was a beautiful country. (He visited in the '60s under far less pleasant circumstances.)

Hey don't sell the US short! We have a slice of everything. You want Vietnamese culture and food? I used to live in Eastern Texas and I know half a dozen cities/towns that have a "Little Vietnam" section. That's one of the great things about the States, we have enclaves of virtually every culture on earth.
