The best way, imho, is not to invest in Vietnam. But if you must, then choose a business that doesn't require expensive equipment. Just don't bring expensive, heavy equipment there. I had a friend who brought an expensive mixing board, ... Read More

Expensive TET by GuestPoster697

This is a good article about the escalating cost of TET lucky money and gifts. We have budgeted 20 million Dong for this year. People simply expect extremely much from their relatives who live abroad or who are married to foreigners. As described in ...

Hard to find a job as Vietnamese American by ZePhilosopher

It's a real struggle for Vietnamese American to find an English teaching job in HCMC! I never expect the discrimination to be this bad when they only saw my name, not even my CV yet, and refused to offer me an interview. When it hits me I was ...
