Teacher Mark..... Please don't confuse the words "preferably" and "must be". Currently I have one 45 year old teacher on my short list who is quite impressive. She may get the job. Anyone can apply but because this is my business I have the right ... Read More

If you're interested in receiving terrible, disorganized, unfriendly, service then definitely choose Vietcom Bank. If you prefer to be treated like a human being, then try HSBC or ANZ. Read More

Anyone will buy mooncake in HCMC? by adam_li
I saw many moon cakes promotion since early July. Do anybody have any suggestion of buying moon cake or anyone will buy it?
