I am out here. I am here to offer whatever advices I may think is useful since that is what the OP is asking. I don't have time for smart asses, especially for those who don't have guts to admit what they have said. Read More

Again I am asking. You demanded me to show my credentials, so I did. No one experience is 100% exact, the question is whether is relevant. What you have in relevant experience in this topic so that we can believe what you have to say since you ... Read More

As for DanSF and his ultimate wisdom, I have said all I need to say. What else do I know about women and Vietnamese culture: I am just a "common" Vietnamese born and bred, and have been together with my wife for just 20 years :).Oh, so ... Read More

cvco, Thanks for adding to the discussion. My opinion is more along the line of a marriage being a partnership with giving and taking and accepting each others' constraints and working together to meet problems. If now things are still rosy, ... Read More

It's disturbing that you jump to suggesting this woman is a gold-digger when nothing the OP has said suggested she is. That's a strawman argument of the worst kind.I don't know where you get the idea I am suggesting that she is a ... Read More

Well, What standard? She is asking him to do things he is not capable doing, despite of his utmost efforts. That makes me worry about what other "standards" she has. A new car, a big paying job, big house, yearly visiting Vietnam. If he ... Read More

The idea of the OP moving to Vietnam temporarily is not a bad idea. However, I would not bet on she readily agreeing on co-habiting right away. It depends on a lot of her environment. Vietnam is still a conservative society. Cohabiting is rare. With ... Read More

One more point. I am sure you know about it, but just want to make sure. To motivate your friend, don't make him think as it is "work" to attend your wedding. Make it part of a excursion package combining with, say, tours to Halong ... Read More

You need to find out the real reasons behind the resistance. Without details from you, I am speculating about possible reasons: 1. Fear of you pretending to marry her: It has been reported in the press about cases that the guy is already married, ... Read More

Being a vegan in Saigon by GuestPoster8524

Hi everybody, I'm moving to Saigon next month and I'm really looking forward to it. Fortunately I don't have to worry about a lot of things because my employer helps with visa stuff, housing and so on. I've been vegan for about 8 ...

Carmen People become vegan because of different reasons and I understand that. If you are vegan because of animal compassion then the following points may of interest to you. 1. Oil: Some restaurants are not so picky about where they buy the oil ... Read More

What are the requirements for an expat to buy a house in Vietnam? Does he have to be married? Are there new rules?

Of course. I am referring to the majority of the vegetarian restaurants in SGN. The thing that bothers me with vegetarian meals here is that they try to do "fake meat" and add tons of unhealthy stuff to make them taste good or like real ... Read More
