In the early 80s, when China first opened up to the outside world, that was how things were.

1. Those days everything cheap. Average salary still US 20-30. Food also cheap. Street food was 200 dong for a Vietnamese sandwich. I saw some die die must eat those president brand soft cheese in a wedge as if they never left the concept of French bourgeoisie.
2. Yes those days got to use carbide headlamp.(joke la) But the girls don’t like you to go to close with them sooty flame and one time when I was asked if I was doctor for examining a ‘clam’ up too close.
3. It was romantic to walk in the night in district one. You have plenty of space but even at the broad walk the country bumpkins were shitting into the bushes in the road divides. In the daylight you can see an exposed bum from a mile away. Toilet papers made from China are so rough you can bruise your delicate skins down sound as if they are sandpaper. If you have never use those kind of rough toilet papers I dono how to describe better.
In the city where got well one, the tourists all confined into one district. Well got, I went to some ulu Indonesia island have to use well water. The most HCMC was a time stood still like reset the clock to the 50s to 60s singapore. The most you want to go is cholon but weaving in between dried seafood is like going to sauna but you get to smell like a fish. The best find there then but now don’t have is those huge dried cheek of the fish from giant size snappers. They had different grades like they do with dried scallops now. Small one cheap but big ones even for us is a handsome price. Bring home as a gift for mom( she cooks canton food mostly) is a delight because can big cannon. She took all the fish stories hook, line and sinker. That time can tell those stupid stories, today need to use more sophisticated tag lines like casual collision
