Well, I bought a Vietnamese Phrasebook this morning on a whim to improve my vocabulary. Clearly, Lonely Planet has been doing some updating. The following choice phrases were included:
Where can I find clean syringes?
I don't know if I believe in God.
I'm completely stoned. Help.
Is there a gay telephone hotline?
I'm a heroin addict.
Seriously, guys. If you need all these sentences, stay home.

i LOVE lonely planet phrasebooks. the japanese version has stuff, like:
It helps to have a sense of humor.
I'll just do it myself.
(Under the Sex section, obviously)
I think I'm high.
They're amazing.
oh.
my.
I love it.
And stop being coy. You *know* you have a drug problem.
i was just in vietnam. i'm a CU alum. found your site through the bwog.
the crazy thing is, vietnam is a place of immense contradiction. some of it is so beautiful...and some of it is as bleak as those phrases you saw
