Coffee in Vietnam by GuestPoster0215
I left Vietnam when I was young and inexperienced with Vietnamese coffee. Settling back to Vietnam, I find myself intrigued and perplexed by the local coffee culture. I haven't really gotten used to it (again?) I guess. Coffee used to be a big ...
I know this post is super delayed (in regards to the rest), but what the hell. I get all my coffee from Pleiku, Gia Lai. The thing with Vietnamese coffee is that you do need to select your roaster carefully. I always buy from trusted sources that ... Read More

A pretty girl saying "let's do some activities". That is a perv-bait. You look sweet, probably don't mean it.. Just saying be careful. Read More
ESL center question: Universities, Public Schools or English Centers? by Cinda001
Hello, I'm considering a move to HCM this summer and I'm doing research. 1 I hold a BA, TEFL, some ESL experience, 13 years professional work history. 2 Visited Vietnam several times, a total of about 9 weeks there (laughable to some of ...
Find a highschool outside of the city centre. These schools sometimes have enough money to fund a program with a foreign teacher and often do not have any requirements or any curriculum that you need to follow. This might sound like a bad thing. For ... Read More

Coffee (and other things) -shipping business by lolpol8912
Hello, I am not sure if this is in correct category or not, but I wanted to post and see if I can gain some useful feedback. I want to start a small venture, selling coffee of the sorts that is not often selected for export. The local favourites ...
Also, about DHL. They seemed to require a company-registration from me. I don't have that, so I didn't apply when they called me up. I just don't want to go through registration for a small-scale business that might not ever be ... Read More

Haha! I am mostly interested in promoting the coffee of my wife's home-town, Pleiku. I am looking at importing to the UK. Mostly through contacts! My brother came and plugged my product without me even asking to a bunch of gym-freaks that love ... Read More

E-commerce export by lolpol8912
Hello, I am looking to start a business which sources coffee and other typically Vietnamese products internationally. However, as many will find, the hard part is finding cheap shipping opportunities. Preferably on an ad-hoc basis. I am looking to ...
Thank you very much! "Aliexpress" seems to be down at the moment. I have tried twice on two different occasions and the website is giving me errors that hint that the website is not working. Which sucks, as I can assume that this is ... Read More

Recyclable pens and related services by lolpol8912
I have been curious about an idea I had. I have always been engaged in the idea of recycling. I think that recycling is the most obvious and common-sense way to start improving our earth and the way we live. I would like to provide recyclable ...
Thanks for the input. I am not looking for that to be the main product of the company. Ideally the main selling point would be to provide recyclable stationary, mainly to schools. That would be the main income-generator. The recycling would be a ... Read More

Purchasing a Motorbike Questions (yamaha Nouvo) by villanova
Dear all, Greetings. I'm moving to Vietnam next week and will be there for a year or so. Looking at buying a cheap bike (USD 200+) just to get me to work, a 4.5km ride each way. I'd like to ask, why are Yamaha Nouvos so cheap? Does it ...
