How to date a foreigner and NOT get your heart broken? by UKGuyInSaigon
Does anyone have any advice to offer to both foreign men and Vietnamese women about how to achieve long lasting success in a relationship?
Sorry, UkGuy, for someone stating that sex isn't that big a deal, you're putting too much emphasis on the area of sex. If a girl isn't experienced, she can always learn if she loves you enough. If you love her enough, that journey can be special ... Read More

Motorbike confusion by AQM22
My hubby and I just got here (Dong Nai to be exact) about two weeks ago. Things are going alright. I'm still trying to adjust to the heat. Anyway, I got a cheap used bike. It's working alright. Of course, neither my hubby nor I have a license to ...
Parmyd, I'm in Bien Hoa, too. So, I guess driving around Dong Nai won't be too bad, but don't take a chance in Saigon? I guess that's good to know since I was planning on visiting Saigon for the upcoming holiday. I was asking as to where in Dong ... Read More
