Dinks in Ho Chi Minh City

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

You won't find many dinks in Vietnam. The place is a baby factory.

Actually, that is changing fast, at least in the cities. Many of our educated staff are now not so keen on having children as they well understand the sort of money involved.
