Hello everyone, During your expatriation in Vietnam, you might have been made aware of interesting investment schemes (local or international). Whether one wants to make money grow, protect oneself or prepare for retirement, investment is always ...
Yep. That is how they get us, I guess. Once you're committed financially, pardon my language, but, you are quite ***, and without Vaseline. Very sad but very true. And I say it not without anger. Can you blame me? I lost a whole lot more than ... Read More

The best way, imho, is not to invest in Vietnam. But if you must, then choose a business that doesn't require expensive equipment. Just don't bring expensive, heavy equipment there. I had a friend who brought an expensive mixing board, ... Read More
Expensive TET by GuestPoster697
This is a good article about the escalating cost of TET lucky money and gifts. We have budgeted 20 million Dong for this year. People simply expect extremely much from their relatives who live abroad or who are married to foreigners. As described in ...

Hard to find a job as Vietnamese American by ZePhilosopher
It's a real struggle for Vietnamese American to find an English teaching job in HCMC! I never expect the discrimination to be this bad when they only saw my name, not even my CV yet, and refused to offer me an interview. When it hits me I was ...
(This is to THIV) Out of all these voices in this thread, yours is the most gentle. If you are a woman, you'd be a great wife. If you are a man, you'd be a great husband. And if you are...somewhere in between, you'd be a great partner ... Read More

Yellow hair? It's called blonde hair. Anyway, I don't see why would any Vietnamese American would want to work here. You still have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam every year. Plus, once you're done with the life here in Vietnam in a few year ... Read More

I do not see you do any better in your writing than Andy's missing little apostrophe either. However, I am glad that you took up the job of an English Nazi grammar correction officer :). I am sure that would help raise the self esteem somewhat, ... Read More

Hello Chris. No, I am no longer in Vietnam. I came back to the U.S. about 1/2 yr ago. I find it hard to live and operate there since the mentality of the artists are way different than what I've been used to :). However, if you still want to ... Read More
