To be honest TT there's no single place. Loads of expats here but most tend to stick to their favorite haunts. If your adventurous enough you'll work your way around the 90 odd bars and find one you like. A few of us do the rounds at the ... Read More

Hi. If you want good food there's a simple rule. If the place is full of locals the food is great and dirt cheap, if a place is empty avoid it. If you want western style food David's Italian on the seafront near the ferry and Bistro 9 French ... Read More

I'm a Seaman and I've been all around the world many times. 6 years ago I came to Vietnam (Vung Tau) for the first time and I fell in love with the town. I come from a seaside town in England and it just felt right for me. I have been here ... Read More

Guys on Ba Cu street are good. Don't know the number but if you come from the seafront they're about half way down Ba Cu on the right. To be honest there are good mechanics everywhere, as there are thousands of Airblades out there they ... Read More

You've answered you own argument there 'colinoscapee' and I agree, it's totally unsafe whichever form of transport you use. Whether your in control or not. There's a video on youtube showing a Vietnamese bus crash on a bridge, shocking stuff and if ... Read More

Yes true, but look at the road speeds in Thailand and Malaysia much higher then here. If people want to accept it as the way things are, then thats fine, I still stand by the fact they are ignorant drivers. The woman in Mui Ne who died yesterday was ... Read More

Interestingly Malaysia and Thailand have a bigger percentage of road fatalities per 100,000 people per year, with Malaysia nearly 6% more than VN. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! Read More

I don't find this observation rude or offensive in the slightest unlike others here. A statement of facts, that's all. There are bad drivers everywhere in the world. The sheer volume of motorbikes lends itself to the statistic of more fatalities. ... Read More

Not ideal it depends on what you've loaded. Go to control panel click recovery and follow the instructions. Depending on the computer you've got you will need 3-4 discs or a decent sized, clean, memory stick. 32GB is big enough for most operating ... Read More

The same people who replace the hard drive will be able to move files for you. If you have a HD reader there's no need to back up as the old drive will have al the files on it still and you can access whenever you need them. One tip though, when you ... Read More

Definitely remove the hard drive. If you buy a hard drive reader you can access any information that is on it at a later date. You never know what you might forget. If you're feeling generous you can always get a shop to install a new hard drive and ... Read More

The way I do it is A: Go to shops where the prices are clearly labelled then try to get a bit off. Doesn't work in the big chain type stores. B: See something I want then tell the girlfriend where I saw it and how much they wanted to charge me then ... Read More

My gf told me yesterday that the service was up and running again. They have had a major overhaul and safety check on all the ferries. They are all very old now and the company's need to invest in new craft. There's a new express way from HCMC to ... Read More

Quite a lot of expats in Vung Tau Francis. Most European nations are represented there. For French speaking locals try Bisto 9 on the street down the right side of the Rex hotel. The owner is French and I've seen a few French speaking people there ... Read More

advhut.andy. The best place for Indian food is not the only Indian restaurant in Vung Tau as you might expect. An Indian guy has a restaurant that does all kinds of food but his curries are the best in VT. It's on Tran Hung Dao opposite the big ... Read More

Hi Gary Always up for meeting new people. My gf is learning English and it would be good for her too. I'm home in April, I'll contact you when I get back... :top: Read More

For great Vietnamese food that won't break the bank try Oc Gai on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia. Or if you like a curry try Yummy Yummy's on Tran Hung Dao opposite the little park. The best breakfast can be found at Bayview near Lucy's bar on ha Long. A simple ... Read More

At last, someone who's actually got a handle on it. The only thing you forgot was, to be a true Vietnamese biker you have to carry unfeasibly large loads or something really dangerous like a huge gas canister or shop window sized pains of glass. ... Read More

As far as I understand it is still illegal for a foreigner to stay with a Vietnamese girl in a hotel or house. Most of the time however it's not strictly enforced. some hotels will make you pay for an extra room and yet the hotel next door will let ... Read More

But I was speeding be it only marginally over the limit. He was right and had video evidence so I was bang to rights. If I'd contested or not offered a bribe, my licence would have been confiscated and I would have had to retrieve it from the local ... Read More

I've been in Vietnam for 5 years, a biker all my life in the UK and I'm in my element on 2 wheels. I was frustrated at first about the speed limits but I see the sense in them after travelling around the country a bit.The roads in much of the ... Read More

When you consider the average wage for a Vietnamese is just $75 a month then 'Not In TPHCM's' advice is spot on. My girlfriend does all the cleaning and wouldn't dream of letting someone else do it for her. I've suggested a cleaner on a few ... Read More

I've been stopped a couple of times for speeding in the car on our way up country. A few hundred thousand in the car log book usually gets you back on your way pretty quick. Personally I love an officer who can be bribed, it saves an awful lot of ... Read More

Phew! My eyes are hurting after reading that. I have a couple of observations on your story and your subsequent posts. 1: I may be wrong but the way she treated you when family/friends were around suggests to me that the so called brother/cousin ... Read More

Hi Hoang As far as I know the money has to come from an employer or something similar, anyway they want proof of where the money has come from. I had trouble at first with Vietcombank until I could prove that my wages were sent to my UK account ... Read More

I'll take that grand off your hands, thank you. When I mentioned that I help her family I didn't mention huge amounts, just what was needed, with occasional gifts as way of thanks and on birthdays etc. My girlfriend (of 5 years) asks for nothing ... Read More

I would like to help if I can in Ba Rai. I live in Vung Tau, I work offshore 6 weeks on 6 weeks off. I have plenty of free time for teaching. I'm not a qualified teacher but I have got skills in management and presentation. Let me know details if I ... Read More

I lived in Vung Tau for 5 years. The beaches have improved a lot over that time, the promenades are all being renewed as I write. Whilst there is some litter on the beaches most of it is washed up on the tide but an effort is made to keep it to a ... Read More

The simple answer is yes there can be but life isn't always that simple. The age difference may be a problem later in life if the man is more than 15 years older than the girl. Money is always a major consideration. how will you survive if there is ... Read More
