Say what you will about some of the "weird" foods, but on the whole, Vietnamese eat a lot better and a lot fresher than we do. I hope Mai Anh can adjust to not being able to get everything fresh every day. I can't say I have a lot of good things to say about American food comparatively. I am just thinking about all the processed ####### we tend to eat. I hope she isn't too disappointed.

I have stomach problems, but I noticed I felt better when eating the foods over in Thailand. As soon as I came back here to the States, I had problems again...all the processed ####### here.

I have Crohn's Disease and the only time I do not have issues with it is when I live abroad. To top it of, the stress you have to deal with here in the States in 10X more than anywhere else......

When I got back from my first trip to VN. It took me weeks to adjust to the food in the US. I had an upset stomach everytime I ate. I don't get heartburn when I go to VN either. Preservatives probably cause more harm to us than we think.

I think we discussed this at one time before. I have Crohn's as well. Doesn't bother me much, but when it flares up, it sucks.

I hope some of these stories can take our minds off the darker side of life.

Hands down, the weirdest thing I ate in Vietnam was a raw, still-beating snake heart. That, like most weird things women over there like to make you eat, it supposed to be good for "men's health."

My wife is from Malaysia and keeps saying "you made me eat cheese while I was in the US so I'm going to make you eat Durian when you come to KL" :blush:

I LOVE DURIAN!!! It's the stinkiest fruit on the earth, but it hardly tastes like it smells...really!!

I am finished...when I am dead
