I am in the process of getting my dual (Canadian-Vietnamese) citizenship. I would update my progress along the way. After visiting the so-called government-assist agency who wanted $2,200 (converted from Vietnamese Dong) for doing the dual ...

Olympic Hockey in HMC? by titanictimmah
Anyone know of a pub or somewhere a person can have a few beer and cheer on their respective team? I've noticed Hockey isn't exactly big around here!

So i checked up all forums, website etc for the procedure of exchanging my German DL into a Vietnamese one. According to them I need - a copy of my passport - 3 months visa + (i have a 5 years exemption) - notarized and translated version of my ...
