Vietnam

Communist right-bracket of South-East Asia. Kept some of the better aspects of French colonialism, like the architecture and the bread, and dispensed with some of the worst, like the French. Used as target practise of various sizes and shapes of ordnance by the Americans for much of the '60s and '70s, who - like all bullies - took umbrage at any retaliation.

Definitely a country in which to avoid getting sick.
