Visited a lot of states. Not much international travel, just Canada. Not likely to change since I can't fly. Or travel by plane. I speak cat.
English, German and a bit of Korean which I can read and speak like a polite child. I've been to just five foreign countries Make that six if you count Guam as a country.

One of the countries I spent some time in was Vietnam. I'm sure it was way before you were born and maybe before your parents were born. 1968
I SPEAK ENGLISH. THIS IS AMURICA. Also understand some Tagalog. Speak a little. Doesn't matter, everyone in the Philippines speaks English anyway. Countries: Canada, Mexico, Phillippines, Japan, Hong Kong, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Germany, Czech Republic, UK, France, Vatican City. Want to go back to Japan when this is all over. Want to explore more of Hong Kong before it becomes totally Chinese and locked down. Probably visit some spots in Europe again too. Probably Spain is next again (been twice, I've been trying to see the Sagrada Familia every 5 years but COVID put a damper on that). Also wanna hit up Croatia.
Yes and the Chinese suburb of Saigon and Cam Rhan Bay and Monkey Mountain. Once went swimming at the China Beach, aka My Khe beach. While in Da Nang near the airbase we got hit by four to five rocket attacks every week. '68 was the year of the Tet offensive. I wanted to volunteer at an orphanage but my duties lasted 6 to seven days a week.
No, I had Vietnamese friends that offered to accompany back there but my job kept me too busy. Now, there's no way since I require skilled dialysis and getting it anywhere else is a major hassle through the VA. I can't even get it at an American VA hospital except for the one I'm using unless I transfer permanently. Let me add this Vietnamese women are among the most beautiful in the world. Anyhow, I'm partial to Asian women for a number of reasons including their impeccable good manners and devotion to family all of which I was denied in my youth.
If you watch the Anthony Bourdain episode of Parts Unknown, he goes over that and their obsession with Christmas, as well as overseas workers.
When I was in Vietnam we had several Philippine bands with male vocals and they were damn good. I remember one guy who could sing with one of the deepest voices I've ever heard. I went to a Bob Hope show one time while there but was stuck so far back that I couldn't see any of the round eyes girls that accompanied Bob.
