I'm of the understanding that VN has some issue with it's banking system stemming from money laundering or some such... For a retired American (or anyone for that matter) wishing to reside in VN for quite some time would opening a citibank us checking acct linked to citibank vn be the easiest solution to remedy my banking needs? I will be having my us pension deposited into the american branch and use their global transfer system to transfer what I need to my vn branch which I will set up for both vn or usd. if the bank happens to offer a bad exchange I could just take it to an exhange with a more favorable rate... and since I'll be transferring only what I need I wont have any issues getting the money back out of the country, as I've been told there is some issue with that here. Does this sound like a viable solution for me?

I can only inagine the difference聽 in a VNese bride then and now. Of course, many of the cultural things I am sure will remain the same. I apologize to those on this thread as this has gotten far off topic. I will start another thread " The differences in cultures from Vietnam and the West".
Hope to get a lot of sincere input.
