Really terrific photos. Many thanks for the detailed shots. For some of us this may be first time we've seen a few of the items you captured. Happy Holidays to you.

Vietnam has really changed since the last time I was there...1998. For the better I hope.

You're not afraid to drive the LS460 on the road with other motorcycles?

Been driving since 2003 and with motorbikes all over the place, now I can say it's normal here and still no serious problems made so far). The LS is usually out on the road for 3 days/ a week, the rest I have my Infiniti FX35 'cuz it's shorter and sportier. BTW, those pics were in Vung Tau, 70 miles away from Saigon, and on a family trip.

Congrats on your new LS. Thanks for the update from your last LS. To have a car, let alone a luxury car in Vietnam is definitely baller status.

That hotel looks spectacular

On a normal day, how many luxury cars do you see over there?

Like someone mentioned, I would be scared driving the LS around, with all the mopeds and whatnot-do you have connections with the police chief?
