Don't blame me if you get arrested! :D I did bring 10 of them when I came here though. That was a year and a half ago, but I don't think it would be a problem today. You may want to confirm that with the airline.

My mother brought a full set of machetes/knifes two years ago.

Hey guys,

I am going to Vietnam in September but I am not sure what to buy for my in-law. I am thinking of buying something cool that they could only get in America. What did you get for your in-law?

Bang ghi cong To Quoc ky ten boi Bac Ho (Honorable paper recognized by the Communist party signed by Ho Chi Minh)

Since you have that communist flag in your profile, I figure you have no problem with that political regime.

Edited by Dau Que

Just remember, life over there in VN is NOT real! Your money will be worth a LOT less once you get back over here. Back to reality, cowboy!

Coffee. Think about it. Everyone says they love cafe sua da. How about giving them a can of Starbucks. Use the viet method of making it, but with starbuck grounds. Anyone ever try it?

And those flavored podwer dairy creamers, i'm sure those would be a novalty. Nothing like a cup of hazelnut caramel irish cream cafe sua da in the morning.

Under 10 bucks too.

I actually bring back alot of coffee every time I come back because the VN roasing is different that the roasted coffee here... as well the beans from VN have a better flavor IMO...
