The connection on Skype to Vietnam is much clearer than the landline. There is a terrible delay on that.
As far as the Javanese water buffalo herder, he was a little old Javanese man who spoke no English (and very little Bahasa Indonesia--he spoke Bahasa Jawa, that's Javanese). I paid about 20,000 rupiah, which was then about eight bucks. Today it's about $1.25.

I use Skype all the time to keep in touch with one of my daughters who is away at University - she uses it all the time to chat away with her mates who are also all on Skype and, being skint most of the time its great for her because of the nil cost between Skype users.
My other daughter uses it to keep in contact with one of her mates who has moved back to the States - her family arn't online so she rings them on the landline phone - cost 0.017 Euro per minute - pretty good.
We are also using the beta video which is a bit hit and miss - when its working its fine, when its not we use Messenger for video and Skype for sound.
