To add to the troubles, you'll need a special license to operate 3 wheels bike (modified bike for disabled people are excluded). It's called A3 license. Most people will avoid getting another license for something unnecessary (fun but still ... Read More

Hi Darvin, The Vung Tau section seems quite inactive compared with other so it may take a while til anyone to reply. I'm in Vung Tau during the week days. If you're free then we can meet up and have a few beers. Read More
Honda CBR250R by jedd
who's got one in hcmc? you like it?
Jedd, you can try to settle for the CBR150 as it only need A1 license to ride it. Getting A1 license is a lot easier than getting A2 as I know quite a few expat already have it. Suzuki also just launched 2 new bikes in Vietnam that are under 175cc ... Read More

Why is it locals? by Budman1
The purpose of this post is not to judge anybody but to ask a simple question. Why is it when an expat asks a question on this site that is related to Vietnamese culture, traditions or looking for an item to purchase that could be easily answered by ...
Budman1, I'm not sure about others but for me, if I decided not to answer some questions concerning culture or tradition, it's because I don't really know the answer. Most of the Vietnamese parents/teachers teach their kids not to question their ... Read More

I wouldn't recommend Mai Linh anymore. Their cabs have been banned from the airport last time I heard. Vinasun is still reliable though. Read More
Moving to Saigon, need suggestions please by vietnam2012
My wife and I are considering moving to Vietnam for a few months to a year. We're thinking of Saigon. We work from home, so job is not our motive. Just want to live somewhere nice, affordable and safe. We have a toddler, so a day care / preschool ...
Beside Can Tho, I would advise Da Nang as an alternative for Saigon. It is certainly more affordable and safer than Saigon. Check it out. Read More
Facebook out again? by Hisdudeness
Facebook has not been working again for me over the last few days even with the DNS settings updated. Has anyone had any trouble with it or could you share what DNS you're using?
I only had experience with iPhone/iPad. The method works on both of my iPhone and iPad. For other phones, I think it's just the matter of finding out where the proxy setting is. The IP address and port should remain the same. Read More
