Tanko, how will I know it’s not dog meat?

My best friends sons are here and they are loving it and it's a huge culture shock for them. I took them for a place for girls last night and could not believe a place like that existed. i also took them to a restaurant that serves Cat and Dog today, they tried it.

At the end of their trip they should be able to say "no wonder uncle likes this country".

Ahhh, I looked up. Looks like a perfect time for your visitors to witness, Fly.

"An Áo Dài Festival is a celebration of the traditional Vietnamese dress, the Áo Dài, often featuring artistic performances, fashion shows, and cultural events that honor the garment's elegance and significance."

Makes me want to vomit. Aside from animal cruelty, dog meat is not clean.

Wait.... $28M US?
I looked to see if they seized the entire building to come up with a number so high but it only said the following in the article.

So they are saying 99% of the $28M was cash. JFC that means on average each person was carrying $300k US in cash..... That sounds too hard to believe.

Authorities confiscated a significant quantity of Chinese currency notes and gaming chips totaling approximately VND720 billion. Additionally, police seized 50 decks of playing cards, 30 computers, 12 monitors, 90 mobile phones, and other items linked to the illegal gambling operations.
