Try google, bing, babelfish or even wolfram alpha which all have more than adequate translation services

Something along these lines: If you knew that waiting hurts, would you keep me waiting endlessly?

It still French. When I first went to VN back in 1966 (don't ask) a lot of the signs were in two or three languages as well, Vietnamese, French and Chinese. Up until around 1970, French was still considered as the international language. This has now been replaced by English.

Vietnam was part of the French Union up until the battle of Dien Bien Phu in 53-54.

The real question is, what does 'wat' mean? Is that the moron's 3-letter version of the proper 4-letter word?
