>I did most of my gambling when station in Vietnam. You can't imagine the parting, drinking, and gambling that goes on in that kind of setting. The gambling starts on pay day and continues for two or three days. It goes on all night and into the early mornings. I've watch a ton of money being won and lost. Funny, it seemed like the same guys aways wind up with all the money.
