AKA Equality has it's limits.

The other day a friend complained about getting stiffed with his water bill at home.

The reason was HIS name was on the bill, part of this 'Me Man, Me Provider' thing.

Many government departments and agencies have preferential pricing that favour Vietnamese citizens (and VN names).

This includes hotels and government owned entertainment facilities.

So always put the Vietnamese partners name on the form, or first name where both are required, to avoid these rip-offs. AKA 'Discrimination'.

What they don't realise is that the "golden apple tree"only bears so much fruit before the leaves turn brown and fall to the ground........... :lol:
