Hey there friends on Blurt. I thought this was an interesting set of photos taken while motorbiking Vietnam. The first photo is the border bridge that crosses into neighboring Cambodia. The last picture is of who I enjoyed this multi month adventure with before arriving to Thailand on one of the last flights before the borders were closed. Vietnam is a bit of strange place. It's good for an adventure, but Thailand is a far better place to live longer term in my honest opinion. Now come check out these photos from Nam!
It's all about the markets!
Seems like a large part of the economy in these places is entrepreneurial family gardens and market stalls. Very free market!
That's how most the 2nd and 3rd world is. It's almost all entreprunurail compared to the corporate take over that has happened in the western world.
Society is broken down in these parts of the world pretty simply....you can work for someone else for almost nothing and stay bottom of the barrel poor basically being taken care of by your employer, or you can start your own business and hope for the best. Sure there is a corporate later and high educated work available in these countries but it's slim pickens and chicken shit compared to 30 years with Boeing corporation in the US with a fat pension. That is what I really like about the non western world. Almost everyone seeming has their own small business going on, and instead of another cookie cutter staples, best buy, it's just a creation from the individual business owner.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and making my post a bit more interesting as usual. Best to the misses and hope you all are having a nice day.
Yeah man. I'm about sick of it here. Can't get ANYTHING done without a smart device anymore. Gotta sign up online just to go to Walmart and get your Christmas photo printed. Everything is about getting you to give up your privacy and rights to get crumbs. I long for the olden days, and I find that one of the only ways to still experience anything like that is to move to smaller towns (that option isn't working as well anymore either) or just get out of the country and find somewhere that still has some sanity to it. Yeah, the water's no good, but so much else about it is better!
I know you're appreciating all that, and more, about living in the "real-er" parts of the world.
I left the US in 2001 to make money in Korea, and then I left in general cause I had something else to compare it to. Then I left for good after realizing the direction things were going referring your statements about. The west is really committing suicide in so many ways. I've like watching the world burn from an Island in South East Asia. I know I'm quite fortunate to have that luxury. I hope you can find away out of there too, but it's far more complicated than it seems. Look at the trouble you had just to move around within your own country! Yikes!
Well, once we can finally settle in here, we will be looking at getting our old permission forms (passports) renewed, hoping for a 10 year expiry date on them. Of course, all it takes is another sniffle to go around (already happening) and those won't mean anything, because you will need to have taken all your mRNA injections to move around the country, or leave it. But if we can jump those hurdles, and come up with about 100,000 CAD, we could potentially get out of here. To where, I don't know, but just about anywhere is better. Sad, this was an amazing country when I grew up in the 80s!
Wow...Canada total NWO nation state, like 100% sounds like. Fully capture so to say. At least int the US there are places like Texas and Florida where shit like this will not be happening, at least anytime soon.
The globalist very much hate the Americans, as they have not rolled over to the bullshit to the same level as Canada and several other of the big western nations. Too many american cling to their gun and their bible and their free speech and they fucking hating it.
I know it's a challenge but I'm rooting for your to rearrange that situation regarding passport and ability to get out of doge. Not an easy task, but a crypto bull market that could be around the corner I'm sure will help.
Yeah, money can't buy you freedom, but it can get you part way there, and it can buy you pretty much everything else. Lack of funds isn't my main problem, but then again, with money you can really make things happen. It has lost 98% of its purchasing power, but it's still pretty much the only game in town. It still makes the world go round.
I like to say "money can't buy you happiness... but it can buy you all the things that make you happy". Money can't buy you love, I guess, but it can sure get you a really nice hooker!
If the world holds together (and for the first time in history, that isn't guaranteed) a crypto bull market is coming soon. You can just about smell it now. There's blood in the streets and sentiment is pretty much at the lowest point in several years. If they don't outright ban it, and have success at doing so, we're going to make out okay. But I won't believe it until I see it!
Somehow Vietnam still looks like Thailand was 20 years ago....lol but I am sure it's an interesting place to see and travel.
Indeed. Has a much less developed feel through and though.
if you visit aceh don't hesitate to contact me
Sure thing!
Happy travel
