The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Muine Bay – East coast, central Vietnam 🇻🇳

The good: yesterday we went on a Jeep trip. This was apparently the best way to see the white sand dunes, the fairy stream, fishing village and the red sand dunes for sunset.

Just a quick content warning here. Some of my personal opinions and the images you will see in this article deal…

Doggos, 🐕 fluffers, 🐩 puppers 🐶 & yappers of Vietnam 🇻🇳.

Some dogs are doggos, some are puppers, and others may even be pupperinos. There are corgos and clouds, fluffers and floofs, woofers and boofers. The chunky ones are thicc, and the thin ones are long bois. When they stick out their tongues, they’re doing a mlem, a…
