Monthly support to Vietnamese GF a mistake? by NashCat

Met a great Vietnamese girl a year ago online, went to Vietnam for 3 months to meet her. Everything was great. She was beautiful and nice. Not a bar or party girl, and we hit it off the moment we met. She had a restaurant at the time, but, because ...

Not sure if you were just joking with him but these are very conservative estimates, especially food. Even Vietnamese, living in cities,spend more on food monthly unless they are quite poor. 100 000 VND per day for food is only possible for 1 person ... Read More

ATMs in HCMC. Any where I can get more than 2M dong? by Nam_

ATMs in Kumho Asiana Plaza on Le Duan allow you to take at least 9 or 10 million. I think fee is around $2 to $3. Read More

Why does Budweiser taste so terrible in Vietnam....? by johnnywastaken

In vietnamese culture, can someone explain to me the marriage party. Why is the cost of the party the expense of the groom? Why is there an agreed to sum of money paid to the parents? Why does it seem that every relative has a sick buffalo and ...

How much does a wedding cost in Vietnam? by NashCat

Don't know nothing about cost of wedding, but do know I am paying for it. Bottom line, how much does an AVERAGE wedding cost in Vietnam? In Nha Trang in particular. I am hearing about $10,000 - $15000 USD.

well,you seem to be the one pushing all the expensive arrangements so I guess that is settled then.By going large you are showing them you are loaded though so don't be surprised if they will expect the same standard and treatment in the future. ... Read More

khanh44, you don't need to ask parents, just ask your girlfriend and she will ask them. Tell her clearly that you are not aware of any dowry. They might wait until the last minute if they want to sneak it in (because what are you gonna do then ... Read More

This is way too much unless you of course have money to burn. If her family has money and are willing to help then ok but if they are "poor" then this is just a unnecessary extravaganza. Keep in mind that mostly men pay for weddings in Vietnam. ... Read More

yes, but that is not the point. The point is that no matter how we treat or parent this is not connected on how we feel to our partners. How you treat and love your partner has nothing to do with your relationship with your parents in the west. In ... Read More
