I am still using my iPhone 6S+. With all my videos that I was posting, I started to have space issues. For some reason I forgot about iCloud. Maybe because I was backing…

After being down for over a year, I finally relaunched AmerasianWorld.com's "Salaam Central Asia". Salaam Central Asia was my first website devoted my experiences in…

This is a normal scene for bikers in Saigon. I prefer to get out of their way for obvious reasons. They are a big cause of traffic jams in the city.

For many people a loss would not be followed by celebration. It is a different story in Vietnam. Ever so proud of their U23 team, Vietnamese took to the streets last…

Last Wednesday night I went out with a couple members of a young 300cc Club. We were made up of two Z300s and one Ninja 300. The club will get bigger and offer trips…

The perception of many in Saigon is that the air quality in Thao Dien is better than District 1. In fact, at noon today the air quality in Thao Dien was the same as in…

The new upper class area in Saigon is located at Nguyen Co Thach less than 5 minutes from both the Thu Thiem bridge and Thu Thiem tunnel. You can find condos and high…

I never knew this area existed. Take a look of the view from near the Ham Thu Thiem area just across from District 4. A great view of District 1 and 4.

At the request of a couple Expats from both Saigon and Hanoi, I decided to do a test of the DIY Air Purifier in my bedroom. My main air purifier since August, 2016, has…

Yeah, I got a after market exhaust on My Kawasaki Z300 motorcycle. Yes, it is a bit loud but needed on the streets of Saigon. For pollution, my Arrow exhaust meets Euro…

You can upload your dna results to Prometheus for about $5 USD to get your health report. For some this may be scary. This week I will look at the results of some of the…

Some will say it is not necessary but I added it anyway. Sometimes you have to repeatedly switch gears on the streets of Saigon. There were times I wanted to know which…

No surprise here. I am half Japanese according to 23andme. I was surprised to be listed as 1/4 British and Irish. Ten percent French and German. I assumed I was at least…

23andme confirmed that I am 50 percent Japanese. Oddly enough, I am 52 percent East Asian. I always have some semblance of my Japanese pride at home.

I have created a YouTube Page for my Kawasaki Z300 motorcycle trips. Right now they contain videos I post to Instagram and Facebook. I will post longer videos with…

Yep, I got it.

With my BlueAir Air purifier, my room always has good, clean air. I brought this from Shanghai to Saigon. No regrets. The air quality shows for it.

Yesterday several people reported that they felt the AQI reading for Saigon was not accurate. They felt it was too low. Check the reading below : In fact, this was a…

Twist of the Wrist 1 and 2 are books and videos anybody who rides a motorcycle (and motorbike) should read. The rule of thumb, if you have no idea what countersteering…

Currently the air is at 127 AQI for PM2.5 in District 4 of Saigon. Looking at the picture below, you can tell it is much higher in Phu My Hung (District 8). As usual…
