Handmade dresses in HCMC by VanRoss

Right. It's too general. Sorry. I need to describe something better. I have something specific in mind but how to describe it... Read More

Um thanks. I was looking for someone already doing this. I don't want to deal with a local seamstress rather I'm looking for some expats or locals who work with special fabrics and such already. Outcast had some on display once but I missed ... Read More

health insurance by VanRoss

HI Folks: a boring topic perhaps. It's been done before - maybe many times - but still not to my satisfaction. OK, Here goes: Question: Who here has a positive experience using private health insurance to pay for something? This question was ...

:lol: How do I know they are what they say they are and will do what they say they will do?The question one ponders at the beginning of *every* relationship. :) Read More

I am seriously considering ASC policy in addition to FV. But, FV SEEMS more reliable. I don't know who ASC is. It's a company. Anyone use it? I can trust FV. It's a big hospital that's...that's right there. Not going anywhere. ... Read More

Just to be fair, I should say I received an email from ACS saying that once your accepted, they guarantee that your rates will never be raised, more than the normal yearly raise, nor your policy cancelled. So, there's that. I really do think ... Read More

Yes. That is what the website shows. I think it is much more trustworthy since it is resting on the ability, reputation and skill of the hospital - whereas these private insurance companies probably couldn't care less about their reputations as ... Read More

FV (Franco-Vietnamese Hospital) is a private hospital, located in D7. They issue the insurance so naturally they have to honour it. The problem is you have to go to their hospital and use their doctors. Excerpt from their site: "FV Hospital ... Read More

Is there any place these days to see any kind of traditional music in Saigon? I've heard Mockingbird cafe?

VanRoss

Due to our ages and spouse's pre-existing condition (heart attack), every quote we received from every insurance company has been outrageously expensive -- as in very high deductible even when premium is 3X our monthly rent. Bao Viet is ... Read More

@ Nexus Six Or, if they have a policy in English, I can check it. The companies I mentioned gave me quotes also. Before, I was mostly interested in catastrophic coverage: getting covered for any big events. I'm not sure what I want now except ... Read More

4 million Dong for the year? That's extremely cheap. I do want to be able to choose private hospitals, etc. I will look into this company but, honestly, I've a hard time believing that one can get good coverage so cheaply. Thanks for your ... Read More
