The Vietnamese people are very forward when it comes to discussing my beer belly. For the past 4 days I have been at a resort on the coast where there are few westerners. On a number of occassions people, especially women, have stroked my stomach and told me that it is big, like the stomach of a pregnant woman. They aren't expressing disapproval, just stating a fact and I seem to attract far more attention from the young ladies than any western, young, slim, attractive man.
