Cultural shock…

 If your first trip outside of the United States was to Vietnam, not only were your lives in jeopardy, but you were in for a cultural shock.  I’m not implying it was bad, but it sure was different from what we were used to.  You have your own memories and experiences and I have mine.  This post is just one small aspect of the many things that were different.   I’m talking about Vietnamese currency.  I found these bills in the same box with the MPC.  Click on the images, you may see some that you have stashed away.
