absolutely, you'll be good.

I could barely count to ten and knew how to say pho, and still enjoyed my entire trip and made friends, so you'll be fine.

Very well.

I spoke nearly no Vietnamese and bikepacked across rural northern Vietnam for 3 months after buying my bicycle in Hanoi.

People in the city can speak some English, but even if they can't they're so earnestly helpful that I was able to easily buy clothes, bicycle repair items, get my bicycle repaired, buy food everyday(pho lyfe) be invited to tea and then a family feast, take shelter from a rainstorm, the stories of their generosity go on.

It's definitely a good country to visit.

The mountains are pretty magical, and every single person was extremely helpful and gracious, either in the city or way out in the tiny mountain villages

Vietnam, Thailand, India, Guatemala, Taiwan is a good call.

in Vietnam, someone literally ran out of their house while I was stopping to adjust my headphones in order to invite me to breakfast at his home.

he had a tiny orchard in his front yard and we shared mango, dragonfruit and pancakes.

"why we are suffering this shit now. "

mostly because of Citizens United, it looks like.

the Supreme Court allowing money into politics and then Congress never dealing with that is arguably the largest factor in rumps elections.
