Who pays the bill? by williamaximus123
Hello I've been living in Vietnam for about half a year. And wanted to ask what are peoples experiences about who pays for the tab and how its split up when going out to eat with a big group of people?
If you are with a group of all males or all females and you are eating out for no particular reason (if it is for a reason like to celebrate someone's achievement then likely he/she will pay) then it will be fair shared. If you are with a group ... Read More
Please take this seven question English quiz for me by SteinNebraska
My wife's daughter was doing an online quiz for her Vietnamese school English class. She had some questions that she was unsure of and I helped her with some answers. After the quiz she got 70% right. After the quiz it shows the questions ...
I do not get the argument about "I am fine thank you, and you?". I was taught that in school. Years later, after learning English not just from teachers in school, but also from reading manga, then reading stories (Harry Potter series was ... Read More

What were the "correct" answer according to the teacher then? I doubt any Vietnamese who is qualified to teach English at any school or even English center would answer these quiz wrong. More likely since it is an online quiz the one who ... Read More
Marriage to a Vietnamese Woman by Guestposter822
Just interested to hear about peoples experiences married to a Vietnamese woman, more so for marriages that have lasted longer than say 3 years...
They do not ask of course. They ll just tell others that they visited you and you gave them nothing. Again, my parents are just middle class so the same people that expect gifts from rich relatives never expect it from my parents. If you are rich ... Read More

Is it possible to live in Da Nang on $500/month? by vietexplorer
I don't mind living modestly. Some forum members say it's possible to find accommodation under $200, so it looks like living on $500/month is viable. What do you think?
I am a Vietnamese lived in Da Nang for two years alone. I have to tell you that it would be hard to live on 600 bucks only. I spend most of the time at work so I rent a room in a "nha nghi", cheap motel for 200 bucks (internet, water, ... Read More
Overcharging - I have had it! by KruChris

It is on the news because it happens sometimes, not because it is a norm. And really, I don't bother taking change for some small bills from sellers that seem to have life hard as it is. Be nice to people and they will be nice to you, ... Read More

Well language is not maths so I don't know, maybe some use it to say so cute. Although more common, so cute would be yêu quá đi, yêu chưa nè, cưng quá đi, cưng chưa nè, etc. Read More
