re: Exploring the food culture in Vietnam beyond pho

I'd love to visit places like Vietnam and Thailand, but being 6'3", I feel like I'd stand out like a sore thumb and be an easy target. In addition, being a foreigner in a strange land where I don't speak the language is just very intimidating to me.

Bro don’t let that stop you. Crime in Southeast Asia isn’t really an issue. In Thailand you are never alone and a large percentage of people, especially in tourist areas speak English. Once you get there you will figure it out. IMO traveling solo is much better than traveling with others. Forces you to get out your comfort zone and you also can do what you want.

don't speak the language
It's a relatively easy language to learn. Only four tenses and no verb conjugation. Like most languages the adjective goes after the noun. "Nhung" out front makes a word plural.
Only hard part is learning/retaining the vocabulary. (The pronouns are complicated but mistakes are just a tell that you aren't a native speaker so you'll still be understood.)
