Animal and human rights Vietnam by Seath forder
Does anyone know of any animal rights program or organization. We have met a vietnamese man who we thought was a nice guy with a loving dog. But it has turned out he is a complete tyrant and inhuman person. We have dealt with him for some weeks now, ...
I agree. Take the dog from this deadbeat pathetic loser. The poor dog deserves a better owner. Read More

Air travel from Vietnam by 1stewart
My girlfriend wants to visit me here in Florida. She has her passport and the travel company in Vietnam wants her to fly to Japan first, but the travel company wants her to stay 5 days and she only wants to stay 2 days. The travel agency wants 1,650 ...
OP: With all due respect you're getting played for a complete fool. The audacity to call you cheap while you have immensely helped her in every way possible is unfathomable. I can assure you there's no hospital bill and everything else she ... Read More
Moving To Saigon & Have A Few Questions by Scotsman84
So I'm seriously considering a move to Saigon. Have been living in Bangkok for the past year but they've tightened up the visa situation so it's time to move on. I'm a UK citizen, under 30, and have funds from abroad if it matters ...
To the OP: If you are the kind of person that likes going out 3-4 times a week, and wants to go out on a lot of dates/meet new people, I can guarantee that you will spend more than $1200 a month, and probably much more. Going out in HCMC can get ... Read More
Do you know any coffee shops which have private rooms&allow smoking? by Dejavu.dot
I am going to arrange a new club meeting. I arranged one meeting last week but our teacher complained that he couldnt smoke. That's why I have to look for another place. Thanks so much for any suggestions.
Complained that he couldn't smoke? What a joke. Instead of finding a new place, find a new teacher Jason Bourne Read More
Safest way to send a gift from USA to Vietnam by charlesle9
I was advised to post this topic here as it would give me a better response. I live in the USA near Little Saigon, Orange County. I have a family member in Vietnam whose birthday is coming up soon. I want to buy him a gift here in the US, then ship ...
To the OP: I would not ship it. I understand your options are severely limited and personally, I myself have never shipped anything from America to VN because I go home quite frequently but I know first hand of many many people who have shipped ... Read More

:/ so, I met this girl 34 years old , started dating her ( seriously) within a week her family has me at a Buddha temple talking about wedding dates with a " master" . Omg. I just met her WTF is the family thinking after two week " marriage" her ...
To the OP: Isn't it odd to you that with all of her credentials (according to you - great girl, very pretty, well educated, speaks very good English, family is well off) that she isn't married? No way a girl with those attributes makes it to 34 in ... Read More

Well she's 34, usually that's around the age where parents pressure their daughters to marry or else be forever single, you can really blame themNot in Vietnam. Here, parents start pressuring their daughters WAY earlier than 34 Unlike western ... Read More

Alright so I have decided to get a maid to clean my place once a week, sweeping, moping, etc nothing major, but I was wondering how much I should pay? Should I pay hourly or by the week? Hourly I'm worried it'll be dragged out, weekly it would be a ...

brand name washing machine by OBB
Can anyone recommend a quality washing machine. The only name i recognize is Panasonic and i didnt even realized they made them. What is considered a brand name?
I got mine at Nguyen Kim. It's an LG. It was one of the more expensive ones, and I think you can get a very good one for much less, but I liked everything it had to offer and it's very close to the one I had back home. It was close to 40 million ... Read More
Cost of trip by MrshyONE
:/ How much $ would I need for a 25 day trip to HCM and Hanoi? Single male?
I don't think you'll spend nearly anywhere close to $4000 since you don't drink, but it's good to budget extra just in case. Someone above mentioned $180 for food and drinks for 25 days? I wouldn't expect to spend that little on food. That's $7 a ... Read More
