I was thinking it all evened out!Shouldn’t that pricing be $500 for the rig and $6000 in shipping?
A large Vietnamese population here. They seem to cornered the market in local bread shops, people here line up for a good Banh Mi. We love the croissant’s at our local bread shop.
Anyway a lot have done well here in various fields. I’m told the real estate prices are a lot reasonable than Sydney and I’ve heard of some buying holiday units back in Vietnam, and I’m sure some will have moved back semi permanently. If they have citizenship the fees on real estate are less than for foreigners. Quite a few Aussie Greeks do the same as well if they hold dual citizenship.
I got a deal on a half dozen NIB 1964 'birds, one in each primary and secondary color - only $15K each. Unfortunately while setting them up, each one took its first chance to run to the edge of the bench and dive head first onto the giant pillow I keep there, snapping its neck and peppering me with wooden shrapnel. So now I'm out $90K for the 'birds and $5k in medical bills. On the plus side, I've sworn off bass and taken percussion back up, which is cheaper and mostly less dangerous. Mostly. Occasional stagedivers use djembes as trampolines, and as they inevitably break their necks (peppering me with bone shrapnel), my 'bird PTSD kicks in.
Really glad you're better, man!
So the curved line models were 10x as big, as well!
Clearly you have too many. I'm happy to free up some space for you. I'll come pick up!
you get better baguette (for well known reasons) at the local pho joint than at the best bakery in town, no joke….

The Vietnamese had a French Colonial past of course. The Vietnamese bakery bread rolls, baguettes etc are excellent. Our local does “Aussie style” cakes, lamingtons, meat pies, sausage rolls etc as well. We make sure to buy from him - must do our bit to keep him in business.

No good for me, all mine came here at Great Great Grandparents level, except one who was just a Great Grandfather.
I could ask for a Jordanian passport but not sure that gets me anything but some trouble.
