I remember reading somewhere that Vietnam was amongst the top countries that pirated DVDs, that’s kind of a no brainer. In Ho Chi Minh City alone (in district one – the city center) you could either visit Saigon Square / “The Russian Market” or the street parallel to Sunwah tower off of Nguyen Hue to submerge yourself in piles after piles of DVDs. Every genre to TV series, Grammy boxset, Korean dramas, even a hidden porn selection. Each DVD is 10,000vnd which is equivalent to roughly 50 cents. If you’re paying 11,000 vnd at the Russian Market, you’re paying too much. I even saw Avatar on “Blue Ray” (it’s definitely not blue ray) two days after it’s worldwide release. For the past month or so (before and after my visit to the states), I’ve watched over a dozen movies.

Whew! & Not to mention in theater movies & inflight movies

Sadly, I have the worst case of memory lost when it comes to storage for feedbacks on movies that doesn’t appeal to my memory circulation. I even started doing Sudoko, the jumbo issue.

I don’t like to admit that i’ve gotten lazy nor lost the appetite to scavenge the streets of Ho Chi Minh City for fun, it’s a mental experiment. What kind of mental experiment I have yet to figure out. It’s just relaxing, I needed the self-seeking alone time with a couple of movies and jumbo sudoku and every so often, reading a page a week in my book.

Until next time readers of the universe, this is Brittranicals over & out.
