Send me a ticket to hell, but they could have him holding a tied-up John McCain doll.
lol, I wonder how they'll do that.
Accepted. No harm done.Quite right. I was wrong.
I do apologise.
If the Communist Party controls the country, it's a Communist country.There simply being a 'Communist party' does not make it a Communist state, which in itself is an oxymoron. In a communist system, the state does not exist or exists in a small form purely to administrate, which is not the case in Vietnam.
As for the episode, I'm quite looking forward to it - should be a blast.

To be clear, there's no such thing as true communism or democracy, there's something between those two. Vietnam now is more of a fascism rather than communism, kinda like Italy when Benito Mussolini was around. On the contrary, U.S is not a democracy that it tries to spread the idea around the 'world'. It is very much a republic rather than a democracy.
I'm very excited about this special bc I lived ten years over there hooray to see what they'll come up with.
Two things to add, if I may:
Firstly, the beeb says they're trying to travel the length of the country in eight days.
Secondly, from the "Coming up this series" bit, it looks awfully like the team are using motorbikes (duh) but modding them as they go along.
Should be good!
