Dating/Marriage to Expats by sweet_summer

It's been a long time since I'm here. The dating/marriage topics to Vietnamese girls are still as popular as ever. Now I want to see the table turns, what are the things that the Vietnamese girls should be aware of when dating with people from a ...

Did you try to call the Australian embassy? I am sure they will be able to find you a couple of more "bums."Low chances of success. Aussie bums won't travel too often as their allowance would be suspended while they are away from Australia. I'll be ... Read More
