28 golf courses are currently being developed in Vietnam! Must be one for every year of their fierce independent campaign? If so, they could be named with the names of glorious generals. What was to become a 'socialist paradise' became a 'golf paradise'. Who will play at all these courses beats me, however I can not keep thinking what a great pity for all those who sacrificed their lives for an 'egalitarian' society. Their descendants are driving the funny little carts and carrying the clubs for fat cats, foreign or domestic - no difference. Of course *anything* is better than war and poverty, and there must be something good about the golf courses, if you look deep enough (are you still down there?) The next step is for Saigon to recapture its pole position in pole dancing, although the competition is stiff. The final step may be to apologise and return to colonialism 2.0, with less tears and a caring face. So much fighting for a big golf hole in the water...
