WARNING- Be careful with your mobile phone

tintinmiami2013 · 2013-09-26T00:15:37+02:00

To all expats and friends living in VN. This is the 2nd time I've heard from a friend in the last month that their mobile phone was STOLEN while walking with it in HCMC. I just want to let you guys know that you need to be extremely vigilant when carrying your smartphone (iPhone, Galaxy S, etc...) Put it in your pocket, store it away in your motorbike, put it in a safe locked area. Please stay alert! There are too many thieves out there trying to steal these smartphones for quick money. Sad really that I have to write this warning. T.T

Solo1 - I do enjoy a stimulating conversation with a healthy exchange with intellects within our community. Additionally, I enjoy bringing up questions, not necessarily for myself, but some topics for others to chime in. I do enjoy your feedback, but please keep it cordial. It is a forum for expats to communicate to each other after all. Comments such as, "You are a college grad so maybe reread Social Studies 101 to answer your minimalistic question." Thanks.

T.T

PS - If you do feel that my questions are rather simplistic please disregard my questions or post. You don't have to answer or even read my post.

How do Expats pronounce that city? Is it like how I think it sounds? Analogous to "Screw this, I'm atta here"

Poo (as is do with a p) ket (as in ket-tle)

Point taken and yes I can be somewhat of a sarcastic ass. Thanks for clarifying your involvement on this forum as to one of assisting others to ask questions that they themselves do not ask so that even others can chime in on. I am sure the needy ones are thankful.

I just felt like we were beating a dead horse and further query was somewhat mundane hence my opinion to you. Same goes if you feel my rebuttal is unwarranted then please disregard.

I do welcome you to this forum whatever my shared thoughts are.
