@mrbrown And Vietnam. 😂 obviously my data is stored in Singapore!

So it seems that all you need to take Singapore banking out, and bring our nation to its knees, is to take out a data centre.

@spickermann Currently in Bodensee, in a dorf population 900. It’s been interesting chatting to my friends who live here!

@miketatarski What is wrong with trees? It’s like they’re trying to drive pedestrians away from everywhere that they’re trying to designate as pedestrian friendly. 🙃

This goes straight into the pantheon of dumbest ideas. e.vnexpress.net/news/news/traf…

@DocSuds Those look very non-tender 👀

I requested the child's meal on my flight back to Vietnam. The flight attendant was very confused when seeing me in the seat it was assigned to. But i don't care; ate chicken tenders.

@miketatarski How long are you there for? Jiufen is just out of Taipei. Sun moon lake, but I hear climate change has been a bummer. Alishan of course.

Travel Twitter: if you could visit one area of Taiwan other than Taipei, which would it be?

Walking is forbidden.

@miketatarski Next visit?

Asked for a 1,000-piece Millennium Falcon LEGO last year and my mother-in-law decided to get a 7,500-piece version instead. Roughly halfway through & probably won’t have time to finish before returning to Vietnam.

@DocSuds I’m not a fan of the way the Vietnamese prepare pork belly, but there are other ways. Or do you simply not like it in all forms?

Hot Take: Pork belly is atrocious. Bottom-tier food

This is so upsetting to hear - please pay them a visit if you’re in Saigon and a dog fan!

@miketatarski It’s the only brand I’ve found in VN and that’s kind of crazy to me

Tonight’s mystery: why is this floss - and only this floss - secured at the local Family Mart?

This story about plant collectors accidentally wrecking Southeast Asian forests was also a great read. likeshop.me/wired/media/30…

Such a great read, also interesting due to a side note on Australia’s flying foxes.

@Saigoneer Have they worked out that people won’t turn up if it’s been paved over? 👀

😂

@jecornwall Have you tried Dejour? They tailor jeans for you!

@miketatarski Omg if you’re going can you adopt me

Have known about this for some time, but great to see it made official: holy crap, Jack White is playing in HCMC.

This is bold.

@JasperPT He’s never retiring is he?! Hahaha. Hi Wells!

My dad sitting on coffee sacks. In his element.

@andrewjhumphrey That looks damn good

Teenager requested "lemon chicken with fried rice like they make at the takeaway store". I probably should have just bought it. I drew the line at using yellow dye number 5 in the sauce.

One year ago today Ho Chi Minh City implemented Directive 16, at the time the strictest form of lockdown, for what was supposed to be 15 days. It ended up beginning the city’s worst crisis in decades, one that didn’t end until October. Hard to believe how far things have come.
