Dealing with an angry wife/ex wife
Don't want to get into intimate details, but my wife was gone for several months. She made it clear through text that she had no interest in getting back together. So I dated a bit, very casually but the neighborhood gossip chain apparently has ... Read More
Zolpidem in HCM? by VnTeacher3
Seems easier to find god knows what than that here, has it been banned. Zolpidem is the name of Ambien or Stillnox. I know it has it's problems, but it works best for me. Any sources (in pharmacies) in District 7 preferably or nearby there?
Thanks, I went to the foreign hospital in D7 (forget the name) but it seems a lot of Koreans go there, english wasn't the best so they either said they were sold out or don't sell it, not sure :D They are probably wise not to stock it, a lot ... Read More
Please take this seven question English quiz for me by SteinNebraska
My wife's daughter was doing an online quiz for her Vietnamese school English class. She had some questions that she was unsure of and I helped her with some answers. After the quiz she got 70% right. After the quiz it shows the questions ...
Americans lol. Get over 1776 dude. Okay people, I give up. Go around the States or Canada and say, "I'm thank you and you?" When people ask how you are. See what kind of looks you get. I'm going to respond this way to people from ... Read More

This question apparently goes back 15 years. http://www.eslhq.com/forums/esl-forums/teaching-esl/im-fine-thank-you-251/ Some on the thread claim it is a British thing, but I've run into a fair amount of Brits over the years and never gotten ... Read More

"Good morning, how are you?" "I'm fine thank you, and you?"That is a response, and a followup question. Personally I don't answer 'fine'. That sounds like a very stiff or old person. "Fine" is just ... Read More
Dating in Vietnam- different types of women by VnTeacher3
I'm seeing more and more thicker/bbw type women in Vietnam these days, but few seem to be on the dating sites. I tried hitting up a clerk directly but got shot down brutally. Don't know if this is even done here. Obviously they are still ...
"Most Vietnamese women between the age of 17 and 35 would never see the needle on their scale reaches 47 or 48 kg and they would freak out if that happens." Lol, at least in Saigon. Not unusual to see that size (or smaller) here, but ... Read More

I'm convinced there's Stockholm Syndrome going on. People don't talk like this in real life. But maybe after teaching it for years, or being in another industry but hearing it from locals, they have put it in their lexicon. Perhaps in ... Read More

What does bbw mean?Big, Beautiful Woman. In VN, big is not beautiful, not to the women and not to most men. Even though beauty comes in all sizes and shapes, society pressure is the reason Vietnamese women do not let themselves gain weight.And yet ... Read More

Please, someone tell me I didn't enter an alternate reality. I have never heard some respond in this way unless they were learning ESL or teaching it. I've heard "I'm fine, how about yourself?" "I'm fine, how are you? ... Read More

It's a real word. Let's put it this way, do the Americans speak a more intelligible form of English or do the former (more recent colonies)? South Africans seem to be hit or miss depending on what region they hail from, but most do seem to ... Read More

Acquiring house or apartment following prices dropping? by Witty1
I can see prices dropping massively over the next two months. In the last 3 weeks I have seen a huge amount of shops,houses and obviously the apartments are going up everywhere already many sit empty due to over supply. Of course they are still ...
My experience in Asia is the best you can hope for is a price freeze, not a drop. It's not like the American market where prices can go up and down. The only possible exception may be way out in the sticks where a commute to the city is not ... Read More
