I went to Vietnam last year and about to go back in a month. It was work related, but I enjoyed my time here. I was in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Saigon.
Saigon is really nice. It’s got about 10 million people. Motor bikes everywhere. It’s relatively clean and the food is on point.

What do you do? In general. Don't have to be specific?
We really need to transform the hotspots in your city into the travel forum. There’s an abundance of travel-related information available that we can compile into this forum, particularly when it comes to flight deals, hotels, and accommodations for Black people.
By the way, I noticed that United Airlines had a sale a couple of days ago for its credit card holders. They offered significant discounts on flights using points to fly business class.

I was stationed at Subic Bay (near Olongapo) in the Philippines for a few months in 1990. Back then it was a red light district for the military. They closed the base and made it into a resort area. It's probably a lot of expats in that area and a lot of mixed individuals. It was very cheap. You got to try the chicken adobo, lumpia, San Miguel and Red Horse beers. I'm friends on facebook with one honey I smashed back then. She looks like and old Filipino lady, but she was bad AF back then.

Man, at this stage in life, the only way to travel internationally is by flying business class—unless you can afford first, but most airlines don’t offer first class. Business class is definitely the way to go, and flying on foreign carriers like Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, ANA, Japan Airlines, or others is the way to travel. You definitely want to avoid all three of the American carriers: United, Delta, and American.
I maintain operational meteorological systems for foreign governments. Southeast Asia is our primary clients.
Business class is only worth it if your get upgraded. Paying $4000 to fly to Thailand defeats the purpose of balling out of control once you land. I do comfort plus, and if an upgrade comes, so be it. Comfort plus and melatonin—done.
I’m mostly talking about playing the points game. I generally accumulate a few hundred thousand points a year, and then I use them on international travel. There are also a few times you can catch business flights on sale for 50 to 60% off. They call them mistake fares, but I believe it’s part of their marketing when the seats haven’t sold and they’re able to hype the product.
Singapore Airlines is offering a special sale to celebrate its anniversary on August 15th. You can find discounts of up to 60% off from business class to premium economy. I have a few hundred thousand points that I intend to use to book some travel in their business class.
They have a Telegram group you can join and catch all of the deals.
Yeah, I got a trip to the Philippines and Tokyo for 105,000 miles and $88. I have a flight scheduled to Belize in November through miles but I may cancel that trip for a trip to Thailand/Vietnam. Thank God, I travel internationally about every month now. United Airlines for the win. Treating United like Uber.
I'm going to get rid of my Plat AmEx so I traded in 400k points for miles on Singapore Airlines. Planning something in January or February.
Definitely look out for that sale on the 15th. They’re celebrating 60 years of independence.
Damn!!!! So you travel travel that is dope as hell. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing bro.
I swear I traveled coach internationally and it was fine. 12 hour flight but I wasn't tripping.
