would you like to go to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos?

Yes, I have been to Cambodia. Laos and Vietnam during the Second Indochina (Vietnam) War while working as a TV news cameraman/War correspondent.

--I have been back to Laos twice following the end of the war, but not recently.

-- I have been to Vietnam several times, once to Hanoi and several times to Ho Chi Minh City since the end of the war and again, not recently.

--  I have been back to Cambodia over 13 times with several illegally when the Khmer Rouge were in control and many times since with the Vietnamese-backed CPP in control. The last was just over 20 years ago when I married my current wife.

--  Unfortunately, I am elderly, medically incapacitated and would not be able to travel.

Did Cambodia & Thailand last year before returning to the Philippines.   I would have likes Vietnam this year before returning to the Philippines.  But with the virus can not even yet return to the Philippines.   But yes I do like being in Asia. 

Not until we are clear of this coronavirus.

Been to all three and all three are different if you go for long enough. 4 weeks is enough in Cambodia and Laos needs 6 weeks as the south is different from the north and it takes time to travel. Vietnam is more complex and needs 8 weeks.  

Yes, I would like to go to Vientiane before it gets too "touristy". I would also like to go to Saigon and see John McCain's helmet and boots in the war museum. He gets more respect there than in the US!

Absolutely. I have Vietnamese and Cambodian friends. They’d be great tour guides.

Been to Hanoi, lots more in Vietnam to see. As for the other two, definitely in my travel plans. 

Yes, once the covid is over.

Why do you like communism?

been there already, and not keen on going back ..........................
