Comments on: Laptop gets (overly) warm welcome in Hanoi

A scalding hot summer day in Vietnam and a pack of chewing gum result in a cautionary tale involving an overheated laptop.

I loved your pieces last time, and look forward to these as well.

$300 worth of gum? just give away the single dollars instead. easier to carry.

Some people are often more appreciative of actual gifts rather then you simply handing them money. Money implies service or work whereas a gift is a friendly gesture.

Kid you not, before starting to read this interesting post, I was chewing Orbit gum (Bubblemint, if you really need to know, the pieces with the hard candy coat, not the soft strips). Aftewards, I tossed a couple more pieces in my mouth (I'm such a easy target of product placement).
