Very well.

I spoke nearly no Vietnamese and bikepacked across rural northern Vietnam for 3 months after buying my bicycle in Hanoi.

People in the city can speak some English, but even if they can’t they’re so earnestly helpful that I was able to easily buy clothes, bicycle repair items, get my bicycle repaired, buy food everyday(pho lyfe) be invited to tea and then a family feast, take shelter from a rainstorm, the stories of their generosity go on.

It’s definitely a good country to visit.

The mountains are pretty magical, and every single person was extremely helpful and gracious, either in the city or way out in the tiny mountain villages

the coolest.

i was on a bike, so i guess he felt like he had to hustle.

Vietnam, Thailand, India, Guatemala, Taiwan is a good call.

in Vietnam, someone literally ran out of their house while I was stopping to adjust my headphones in order to invite me to breakfast at his home.

he had a tiny orchard in his front yard and we shared mango, dragonfruit and pancakes.

ooh, sharp.

good one.

plus how to reheat pizza evenly…good point

I could have been reading Animorphs and Bigfart!

what a world.

that sounds like a plague to me.

this is where I’m at.

lemmy communities are plagues.

haha, I really liked that part of the description!

I think technically that’s the same thing.

that’s got to happen sooner or later. plague instances spreading like the plague.

that’s the phrase, certainly. you’ve nailed it.

I think this is the genesis.

who doesn’t like a good plague these days?

9 penises is his personal best?

yes, because it is fun, and we don’t have to make it different just to be different.

how to make a martyr

I’d like to say that so are zombie films and media.

zombies have become an excuse to dehumanize and glorify justifiable violence against humans at this point.

hahaha thanks
