Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

[Golden question]

Vietnam had direct contact with taiwan way before Singapore. The VN gals were `exported' to taiwan as brides and WL for many years. Thus, a lot of viet gals eagerly learn Mandarin , hoping to land up with a good taiwanese husband. Many of those who later came to Singapore have some previous connection to Taiwanese. The bars of HCM were also flooded with Taiwanese since the 1990s. The viet gal's mandarin are less than half cook. They can speak, but not well. Often, they have very much difficulties trying to express themselves. Mandarin is not an easy language to learn, but if want to earn money using it, they have to learn. :D

if put a side taiwan and to earn money there,i felt that their listening to a foreign language especially chinese and learn to speak is stronger compare to others.why i say so?i ever ask my wife's few friends how they learn chinese cos they dont know chinese at all when they first came sg.They say they learn through everyday see channel 8 or channel u when they are at home alone most of the time.

But i do agreed their chinese is half cook like what u say,can speak but not well.some is parents is chinese and teach them when they are small:D

[Golden question]

dun understand why they can pick up mandarin so fast. There are countless of vb I have seen that can speak mandarin with ease.

Is it really that simple, then why angmos learn until tongue swollen. Whereas we find it so difficult to learn

some of their family is chinese due to their ancestor,so some parents teach them when they are small but most learn through here and there.:D

[SingViet]

Hah not issue meh? I very worried lor. Dunno if breakfast she got eat not as she dun like bread and our usual breakfast food; she dun like our noodles etc. she only like rice like chcken rice duck rice com chao not much choice unless eat zhi char.. Sianz. Very worried esp when she pregnant how let her eat properly n happily..
Husband n wife liao then nothing to hide liao. Its more when starting better to be careful listen to what they talk=防人之心不可无 bro.. Based on previous relationship. ;)
Know their langauge also can chat with their family n friends, then be more wholesome hus&wife; alot to chat as their husband n as their friend too. Just what i feel in normal sillypore also same, they know their hus&wife friends can chat be friend etc.

Something about Singaporean husband is that they give in so much to their Vietnamese wife until the whole household become vietnamese. Yes, doting your wife is a must but we must let them know that they need to adapt to the food and lifestyle here after marrying here. They cannot be asking for everything vietnamese after marrying here. Just like when i was staying in VN some years ago, i had to adapt myself to the lifestyle and food there. No complaints. Many viet spouse use `not used to lifestyle here' as reason to go back VN so often, and always staying for a month or so. If this happens much too often, the chances of her having a viet bf there is very high. My wife only goes back here province once in a few years, or when necessary. She adapts to life here. This is how we can create a family that's happy. You cannot expect to have a blissful family without sacrficing something. If you let your children be like the kids from Vietnamese province, they will grow up like them. Lowly educated and lazy. They will be lagging behind everybody in Singapore. We are living in modern day singapore, we cannot expect to bring up kids the vietnamese way and neither can we afford to create a vietnamese environment at home. The rich vietnamese are sending their kids to singapore to learn our way of life, then why are we bringing up our kids in their hopeless way? Sorry to sound drastic and blunt. If we do not want others to look down on us, we should not act in such ways that create the poor image of us.

she is your wife...now only you worried about all these...dun you discuss with her about all these challenges before marriage...too late now bro...but you still has plenty of time to let her learn and adapt...good luck...:)

I always like to learn their language so that I can converse with her family...also to go anyway in Vn...think I had pretty much done all these after more than 5yrs...:)

[Golden question]

I still remember 6 years ago when my wife just came to SG,no friends,no family and cant talk much,only simple broken english.There was once she was sitting alone with those market auntie and uncle to see 'ge tai' during the hungry ghost festival.I ask her whether she understand,she say dont know but she dont want to be alone at home.

Of course in a new environment,one will feel lost and miserable but if one dont try to adapt to it,then for her to live here and be happy will be a problem for her and she will start to want to go back.

My wife start to go outside,go market and ntuc and etc.Ppl in market bully her and talk bad about her as impression of vietnamese in the eye of ordinary sg folk is associated with wl.With her limited broken english,she find her first vietnamese friend in ntuc.

Recently i ask her,how u feel when that time when those ppl bully her,she told me she have to thank them cos they let her learn and grow.

So if a vietnamese wife really want to live with u here and start a family,she is the one that must sacrifie to adapt to sg things to live with u.Worry is worry as a husband but if she really want a happy family with you,she will slowly adapt,for her is no choice

Seriously speaking, vietnamese spouse do face bias almost everywhere they go in Singapore. I won't start to mention again on what kind of statements singaporeans make on them. But my wife do not really care how they perceive her as long as what she does is correct.

[SingViet]

One of my wife's friend, a 24 year old Viet lady married to a Singaporean man and with a 3 year old daughter. This young lady has been spending a lot of time with my wife and listening to my wife's advice. Just 2 weeks ago, she had some problem with her husband and my wife and i spent the whole afternoon talking to them. From what i see, this lady is different from the rest and can be taught. But all things come back to square one, she's bored and she requested her husband let her go back to VN for 1 month. Her husband works on 2 jobs, 16 hours a day and made barely enough to support her. She insisted on going back and her husband borrowed from friends to let her go back. When my wife and i were in VN, we gave her a call. Damm it, she's gambling at home. Tell me about all the time i spent on counselling her, its useless. Went back there and all bad habits come back.

My experience with Vietnam goes this way, initally was something fresh, very interesting. Then came realisation stage when i started to realise lots of things about their country and culture and now, the immune stage when i have no feeling for that country, its just a place for me to earn money.

tell me all about it...brought back unhappy memories...no way will have a gf or bx who gambles away my hard earned money...:)

Bro SV have done a good job as forum-keeper, the objective of the forum he started till now is 5yrs...There's is no other forum like this in the whole WWW.

[Kim91]

When dealing with foreign ppl be it relationship or biz, u must know their language if not u be always at disadvantage..

Btw BRo GQ's wife was like my wife now... she dun like to wonder just waiting at home for me...

My wife just had a MC thats why i very worry about her. As i have been working very hard, leaving her alone.. I felt i never take good care of her.. thats why.. And was even thinking whether i should let her stay in VN for 1st 3mth of preg when more stable then fetch her back...

[asdfghjkl]

Sianz.. so many married members here.. though I saw many singles in HCM, some places in my country every girl gets married at 16 - 22 years old..

At my age, they call me (in Vietnamese) "E" meaning nobody love me and nobody want to marry me and I would be forever alone.. :(

Yes, knowing the language is important but knowing the culture is even more crucial. Culture dictates how they react and how they behave, basically its their thinking ;)

after many years of staying in sg,she now will talk back if necessary even though she is alone,this show how tough is vietnamese woman.I always comfort her by telling her that a foreigner will surely get bully in a foreign land,is the same as me in vietnam,the vietnamese will bully me.But she also make some good singaporean friends through her friendlyness

haha bro,i went through all this stage before during my early years so can share the same sentiment with u

[vietboy]

One thing that i really salute you, you make the effort to find out more about vn. Keep up the good work. :)

Me 2! Salute u jackbl! Gotta learn from u!:D

[vietboy]

Bro vietboy, i not shooting you hor. :D

No prob! No war within our members of our fb group. :D

[vietboy]

Wah uncle singviet then u shooting me la?? Just joking.. I just feel that that to understand our wife n culture its a must to immerse in them=food n language. But even if u understand language then let them know esp if trying to know them. Then u can hear if they talk anything bad not. Its the same for our wifes. They tried hard to pick up our language fast n they are good at it. But they dun like sing food. Sad i dunno how to feed my wife with....

What uncle? He not even 40 yet!

My view is to immerse in their food n language to learn their culture is not enough. We need to understand their way of living, their religions, their beliefs n values also.

Yur wife dun like sing food?? :confused:
1st time hearing this. Actually our chinese food is close to theirs, they shld be able to accept chinese food. Indian n malay food are a bit heavy on the spices so may not 合他们的口味.
Give her some time to adapt lah. Slowly she will accept. If she still can't eat local food, then get her to cook her food herself loh.

[KangTuo]

sometimes I feel we spoilt our own market by allowing us being their atm. Eg. Cheonging times/Dating times buy ex gift for them spend lavishly, giving them think we earn fast bucks.

many people spoilt markets buying iphone 3s/4/4s, ipad, give tips in 100s and spend lavishly buy bringing vb to romantice dinner... just to get under their skirt.

Many singaporean an like to boast to their viet gf how much they earn. S$2000 to them is a lot of money roi, but they do not know the cost of living in singapore.

i don't boast to my bx, i don't hide from my bx.. i tell her the amount i earn but also educate her on the cost of living in Singapore. Anyway she saw it herself already.. i.e she feel heart pain when i spend $200 on groceries and food over the weekend.

doting your wife is a must but we must let them know that they need to adapt to the food and lifestyle here after marrying here. They cannot be asking for everything vietnamese after marrying here. ...... Many viet spouse use `not used to lifestyle here' as reason to go back VN so often, and always staying for a month or so. If this happens much too often, the chances of her having a viet bf there is very high.

my bx is slowly adapting to alot of food here... recently she keep craving for roti prata :)

as for letting bx go back vn and staying long there... i got no worries about her getting a viet bf.. as i know it won't happen. my bx is more worry that i fool around when she not by my side for too long. :p

[KangTuo]

many vb in gl/jc also not use to sillypore chinese food.

there are all kind of vb from syt to milf with different thinking, taste, attitude... you see more, you know more :p

I love this policy...dun boast to your gf or bx...me always tell gf I am very poor man...salaried workers...dun expect much from me except able to provide food and lodging...haha...one thing can assure her is monthly trips to hcm...showed her my passports and all the chops...she counted more than 50 chops...:)

[vietboy]

dun understand why they can pick up mandarin so fast. There are countless of vb I have seen that can speak mandarin with ease.

Is it really that simple, then why angmos learn until tongue swollen. Whereas we find it so difficult to learn

U shld go to this "Tieng Viet Lovers" thread. There have discussed this before.
Have u noticed that their words have the same number of syllabus as chinese? E.g. Quan tam = 关心
An com = 吃饭
Noi chuyen = 讲话
Mong tai = 指甲
To name a few.
Also TV have 6 音 quite similar to chinese 4 音. English dun have thus they have difficulty in learning and picking up chinese.

[vietboy]

Hah not issue meh? I very worried lor. Dunno if breakfast she got eat not as she dun like bread and our usual breakfast food; she dun like our noodles etc. she only like rice like chcken rice duck rice com chao not much choice unless eat zhi char.. Sianz. Very worried esp when she pregnant how let her eat properly n happily..
Husband n wife liao then nothing to hide liao. Its more when starting better to be careful listen to what they talk=防人之心不可无 bro.. Based on previous relationship. ;)

Wa, yur wife pregnant already still let her eat outside food ha? Not too good for the baby leh. Outside food not that nutrious leh. U must not only take care of the big, small one also must take care. Also everyday eat outside not expensive meh? Here not like VN leh where eat is cheap.

i always mentioned here, if u dun trust yur wife, why marry her in the 1st place??

[Kim91]

Of cos i trust my wife if not i wun marry her liao lo. I known her thru my ex gf which i treated her with all the worng methods. Spend so much on her, give in to her then she still treat me like dirt, feltreally khong or kana black magic. Thats why hope those bro still dating only dun repeat my mistake. lucky is i know my wife thru her.
My wife n family treat me very nice, they know i not rich. N good thing parents are hardworking farmers.

Hi Bro,

Don't be sad, take things slowly at a time, my bx also like yours when she 1st came to s'pore 2 year ago, always sad, home sick, feel lonely especially during the period when she got pregnant so in order to keep her time occupied when I'm working, I applied for her the passion card & registered her to various short courses at our CC, eg. basic english lang. , cooking, line dance, basic computer, yoga, etc all these not only help to occupied her time but also allow her to make more frd, upgrade her knowledge & skills.

When my baxa came here in 2007 (after 4 years in VN with me), she actually got quite used to chinese food already. When i was staying in VN, i often bring her for chinese food at various places in HCMC. She like chinese food. After she came here, i brought her for roti prata, she like. But she's not used to other indian and malay food. My work is flexible so i am beside here most of the time. She also assist me to handle my VN office.

Its good to let your baxa mix around with other friends. My baxa actually doesn't like to mix around much with vietnamese as they gossip a lot. My wife has china, malaysia and also singaporean friends. These 2 years, my baxa started to mix around with 1 or 2 viet spouses in Singapore.

have you ever thought of going for classes together with your?
most evening after dinner, i will go to the park with my bx to take a walk.. everytime will stop by those basket ball court or pavillion near the cc to see people dancing, tai ji, etc...

I suggested to my bx that we register for a tango dancing class. Just like what the viets do in 23/9 park....she give it a laugh say i khung. :)

Something about Singaporean husband is that they give in so much to their Vietnamese wife until the whole household become vietnamese. Yes, doting your wife is a must but we must let them know that they need to adapt to the food and lifestyle here after marrying here. They cannot be asking for everything vietnamese after marrying here. Just like when i was staying in VN some years ago, i had to adapt myself to the lifestyle and food there. No complaints. Many viet spouse use `not used to lifestyle here' as reason to go back VN so often, and always staying for a month or so. If this happens much too often, the chances of her having a viet bf there is very high. My wife only goes back here province once in a few years, or when necessary. She adapts to life here. This is how we can create a family that's happy. You cannot expect to have a blissful family without sacrficing something. If you let your children be like the kids from Vietnamese province, they will grow up like them. Lowly educated and lazy. They will be lagging behind everybody in Singapore. We are living in modern day singapore, we cannot expect to bring up kids the vietnamese way and neither can we afford to create a vietnamese environment at home. The rich vietnamese are sending their kids to singapore to learn our way of life, then why are we bringing up our kids in their hopeless way? Sorry to sound drastic and blunt. If we do not want others to look down on us, we should not act in such ways that create the poor image of us.

Totally agreed with u on this.
To add: allowing yur wife to go back too much will also affect her application for PR in the future.

[vietboy]

So if a vietnamese wife really want to live with u here and start a family,she is the one that must sacrifie to adapt to sg things to live with u.Worry is worry as a husband but if she really want a happy family with you,she will slowly adapt,for her is no choice

Agreed with u. Sacrifices have to be made both sides. As marriage involves both sides to contribute to grow n walk on through the life journey.

Sad to hear that. But dun lose hope. Both of u r still young. Can always try again. But of cos take thing slow. Communicate to yur wife, when both of u r ready then go do it! :)

BTW, is it that yur wife dont know how to cook? Sorry for being blunt. If thats the case u may wanna consider hiring maid next time she is pregnant.

bro vietboy if his bx widen circle of friends means she widens her circle of spies. then everywhere KT goes also kana spied. agree?

same goes for any of your gf/wife/bg/bx etc... more friends for her meaning higher chance u will bump into her friends (while doing something u r not supposed to be seen) :p:D

[SingViet]

now she have a few more viet spouses as friends. :D

yea, tell me about it, my baxa meeting yours today ;)

[vietboy]

bro vietboy if his bx widen circle of friends means she widens her circle of spies. then everywhere KT goes also kana spied. agree?

same goes for any of your gf/wife/bg/bx etc... more friends for her meaning higher chance u will bump into her friends (while doing something u r not supposed to be seen) :p:D

What wind blow u here too?? Vietnam wind?? "Chee hong"?? :p

dun quite agree with u. Unless she has friends in every estate in singapore, then everywhere KT goes he is high risk. On the other hand, get her to know those viet spouses not those WLs so they have something in common to ba tam about. What kind of circle of friends is also important. So be selective on the kind of friends to let her mix with. Not that i mean WLs are bad people. Just they dun have common topics as our wifes.

[vietboy]

yea, tell me about it, my baxa meeting yours today ;)

Ya loh. Plus another bro's wife. :D

[Blast88]

have you ever thought of going for classes together with your?
most evening after dinner, i will go to the park with my bx to take a walk.. everytime will stop by those basket ball court or pavillion near the cc to see people dancing, tai ji, etc...

I suggested to my bx that we register for a tango dancing class. Just like what the viets do in 23/9 park....she give it a laugh say i khung. :)

I have attended the yoga class together with her before & going together for line dance class again next month. I believe our CC activities are one of the platform our bx can learn to adapt & integrate to our community, from there she make frd of various races & opportunity for her to 'polish' her English when communicating with non-chinese. After all these, now I can feel that she happlier especially when some previous course mate call & send regards to her. As she was one of the few foreigners whose take up courses at our CC, now even our MP also know her, once she took part in CC cooking competition & her viet cuisine receive compliment from our MP whose always teasing her 'when she will make the viet 'spring roll' again to treat him' when he saw her at CC.

my bx has yet to mix around with singapore friends or get close to spouses of some bros here... its just hi bye hi bye hi bye...

lucky is that my bx don't feell lonely here as she has her own relative and friends in sillypore.

[QUOTE=Blast88;7324691]

When my baxa came here in 2007 (after 4 years in VN with me), she actually got quite used to chinese food already. When i was staying in VN, i often bring her for chinese food at various places in HCMC. She like chinese food. After she came here, i brought her for roti prata, she like. But she's not used to other indian and malay food. My work is flexible so i am beside here most of the time. She also assist me to handle my VN office.

Its good to let your baxa mix around with other friends. My baxa actually doesn't like to mix around much with vietnamese as they gossip a lot. My wife has china, malaysia and also singaporean friends. These 2 years, my baxa started to mix around with 1 or 2 viet spouses in Singapore.

my bxa also dun really like to mix with Vietnamese in singapore as she also feel that they gossip too much and noi chuyen too much...
only sitck to her own close grp of frens frm same hometown in Singapore...

she got to knw another vietnamese near my place as she got her hair done there thru recommendation but also just maintain as hi bye type of fren...

she does feel lonely at times as each fren hav their own family to take care of but thats life if she chose not to mix too much....

[KangTuo]

bro vietboy if his bx widen circle of friends means she widens her circle of spies. then everywhere KT goes also kana spied. agree?

she import her own spies at times... also there are permanent spies around.
if widen the circles of spies, i can stay home pcc liao :)

dun quite agree with u. Unless she has friends in every estate in singapore, then everywhere KT goes he is high risk. On the other hand, get her to know those viet spouses not those WLs so they have something in common to ba tam about. What kind of circle of friends is also important. So be selective on the kind of friends to let her mix with. Not that i mean WLs are bad people. Just they dun have common topics as our wifes.

no need every estate... place spies in GL and JC can kill off my ECA liao.
my bx don't like to ba tam. She told me anything in the house is kept in the house and nothing to ba tam or talk about to others. I am infact very happy that she know how and when to talk and when to keep quite.

My bx cricles of friends are all WL and she got more topic with them. I am not worried of her being influnced.. in fact she is seen as a da jie in her circle. what she say and scold, they will listen. She also take opportunity to earn money from them. i.e airticket (add $50), medi-cure ($20 and above), massage ($30). Within this one month here, she manage to scoop $600. She cease every opportunity to earn money.

I remember once, a bro show us a G-mart website.. my bx got interested as she see that the clothing seesm cheap. Her thought is not to buy to wear but buy to sell to those WL. Recently she go shopping with me and bought 2 necklace for $20. I thought she like it but yesterday she sold to her WL friends at $30 each...

my bxa also dun really like to mix with Vietnamese in singapore as she also feel that they gossip too much and noi chuyen too much...
only sitck to her own close grp of frens frm same hometown in Singapore...

same same... bx no gossip but she will still talk abit here and there. my bx would widen her circle of friends but its just hi bye kind and not get too close. i.e bx also get to know other WL of her WL friends.. reason is simple... more friends, more opportunity to earn money from them

i cannot agree with you leh...I went last year cheap...stay at resort Thanh Kieu @ USD 19.00 per day...my report was in my HCM thread...agree with you that the roads to jetty was real bad...grossly under developed infrastructure...but the ferry to Rach Gia was inpressive...:)

I also being to Nha Trang 2 yrs ago and Mui Ne just last April...:)

[vietboy]

Expensive in the sense that we chartered a mini bus from chau doc to Ha tien ferry terminal for S$150, over there at Ha tien ferry ticket cost almost $15 per pax one way, total 8 pax, stay at 1 villa (forgot the name) cost USD200/nite, total spend 2 nite overthere, worth still intermitten raining throughout my stay there, nothing to explore only a small night market & seafood was also not cheap. Definitely will not visit again.

[Kim91]

It takes time ... how long has your wife been in Snigapore :confused:

Thx shysaint, she's been here for less than 2yrs.

[Honey Boon]

actually they are quite talented in languages ... recently I saw a few, can sing Mandarin, English, Thai and even Filipino songs

got one lagi better, can sing Hokkien songs :p

Yes ,, U are very right ... my wife can communicate with my mum in basic mandarine .... very good liao ... nows they are talking many ....

[Honey Boon]

:confused::confused::confused:

I was there for almost 10 days during last X'mas .... excellent experience and came back a happy man as I got lots of info from Master Jack before the trip :D

last year went to Nha Trang, and this April to Mui Ne... I like both as they are more happening. But as for PQ, it has more "peace" and "privacy", less local tourist and more Ang Mo.

Vung Tau experience was the worst for me, can hardly find nice food and beach there is not so "white", left that place on the second day

plan to go Danang and Dalat in the next half of the year... wish me good luck

We moved off at mid-nite 1am to catch the early ferry, where got bus? Reaching there is almost 5am & saw lots of people at the shelter (like our army training shed) already queneing up at counter for tickets, worst told us tickets sold out & on waiting list, lucky still manages to buy the tickets. Ferry took like 2 hrs to reach PQ, very choppy sea even my bx got seasick, upon arrive nightmare come, we saw all the mini van picking visitors to their resort, except us , we do not make any booking before hand as we will expecting upon reaching there, there will some counters for us to choose our resort but end up PQ terminal, there are only 1 ulu 'coffee shop' & nothing else. I almost quarrel with my bx for this arrangement & due all resorts almost fully booked during that period, ended with an expensive villa recommended by the coffee shop owner. Regret not doing any homework before going there & put all my trust to my bx & her family whose also never been there. The road conditions from terminal to our resorts (almost 2hrs) reminded me during my army time, Ist time in my life almost get car sick. My advice to Bro out there, if planning to PQ, better take plane, save time & all the tireness.

One thing i learn while in vietnam is most of time,things will always go wrong no matter how prepare one is.So dont think everything u plan swee swee will turn out swee swee.Not like in sg.

And most of the time,the people there will say ok ok and say until everything will go smoothly but when things cock up,they dont know or pretend dont know.

I use to blame my bx when things go wrong when we are there but now i just prepare myself that things will go wrong there no matters how much things i have prepare.so i just relax and hope things dont go wrong:pThat is how their society operate and like what my wife say,is 'vietnam' not singapore:D

After hearing your story, really felt sad for u. There are many hotel abt 30min from the airport. The most cost u usd$40 per twin room. 40*4=usd160 only. They are also near to the beach and near the night market.

My advice, if u & bx/gf have not go to that place b4, dun ask her to plan. I'm a person who can take long distance bus, but i still advise u to fly to PQ better. The comfortness of flying wont cause a couple to quarrel over tiredness of trip :D

If u are the one paying the huge amount, and if u plan wrongly, u can't blame anyone else :D :p

ya 2 months ago around April 13 somethings .... supposed to attend another brother's vnam wedding at village, but due to mild food poisoning, got stuck at Mui Ne....took train there and came back by bus



as for the resort name, can't recall now as it is in vnam name, my "local tour guide" prefer non-Ang Mo resort area :p

I remembered she paid around USD 18 or so, big room with hot shower, one big and one small bed, .....

last April means 2 months ago ha...which date you went...my khach san cost only SGD 25 per day...huge room...?

[Honey Boon]

yes, my flight there around 500k per pax (on Vietnam Airlines) but booked a month earlier by my "local tour guide", but I told her to book one way as I was not sure how long I want to stay there ... big mistake.... should have booked two ways

during the x'mas period, return trips double the price...(on Mekong Airway) as double the price for 2 persons....

but really enjoy eating all the nice and fresh seafood especially the flower crab, is like 200k dong per kg... just steam and eat with salt/lemon :cool:

Danang first, then go nearby Hoi and Hue An

then Dalat

Year end may be Hanoi and nearby halong bay and sapa

so more or less can cover all the major places in vietnam liao :eek:

Vietnam’s rate cut may trigger property boom

Vietnam’s real-estate market is expected to receive a new infusion of money following a deposit interest-rate cut to 9 per cent from 12-13 percent by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) and a subsequent fall in loan interest rates.

This was the fourth time during the last three months that the central bank has decided to reduce the dong interest-rate on deposits.

The central bank’s move yesterday resulted in a decrease in interest rates on loans with various terms at commercial banks.

At Vietcombank, last week the bank decided to slash the interest rate of termed loans to 12-13 per cent.

Experts said that with such lending interest rates, enterprises’ financial burdens created from high capital costs would ease significantly, thus encouraging them to invest in production.

The lower interest-rate cap of deposits also means that depositing money at banks was no longer an attractive investment channel.

These changes have prompted many people to shift from depositing their savings into the banking sector to other investment channels that they believe will bring profit in the future.

Real estate, along with other sectors, is still popular among long-term investors since property developers, who have been thirsty for capital, have cut prices by 30-40 per cent.

According to many real estate offices in HCM City, within one month, the number of clients who came to buy houses increased significantly, but the number of transactions was still modest.

Trinh Xuan Bac in Tan Phu District said that, although the real estate market remained sluggish, investment in real estate products would bring profits in the long term.

Previously, Bac had deposited money at a bank while he waited for real estate prices to drop even more.

However, he believes that the current interest rate is not attractive enough to deposit money in banks and that now is the right time to invest in property when the prices are low.

Huynh Anh Minh, director of a real estate company in District 2, said the number of people seeking to buy land plots and apartments had increased slightly in recent days, and the number of successful transactions had increased by 20 per cent compared with previous months.

Investors were especially interested in land plots in outlying districts such as Binh Chanh and Cu Chi, Minh said.

Real estate developers have said that the rapid interest-rate reduction had greatly affected investors and individuals who want to buy a home. The lowering of the deposit interest-rate cap to 9 per cent and the banks’ commitments to slash the lending interest rate to 13 or 14 per cent have led people to believe that the property sector would warm up again.

Ngo Dinh Han, director of the ACB real estate trading floor, said the recent interest-rate reduction had not yet created a significant impact on the real estate market.

But he was confident that more money would be pumped into the market, thus improving its liquidity in the future.

The market’s real changes would likely take place in the third quarter of the year, Han said.

Pham Thanh Mai, general director of the Vietnam Real Estate Association, said the domestic real estate market would continue to meet capital-related difficulties in the near future.

Thus, real estate developers should use mobilised capital resources effectively and efficiently.

Mai said that real estate companies should prepare long-term investment strategies while reducing their risks to ensure available cash flows for important projects.

I also saw some potential at my residential area as there are no manicure/pedicure shop, wondering bros out there have any idea what will be the start up investment cost like for such business.

[shysaint]

bros out there have any idea what will be the start up investment cost like for such business.

1. Rental / Electical Bills / Water Bills.
2. Renovation - Drainage for water flow / Lightings and etc.
3. Equipment like Seats / Hand Rest / Leg Rest / Basins.
4. Accessories for your p/m services.
5. Hifi System.
6. Aircon System.
7. Advertisement

My guess is minimum easily sgd $35K and above ....

[sportserj]

Danang first, then go nearby Hoi and Hue An

then Dalat

Year end may be Hanoi and nearby halong bay and sapa

so more or less can cover all the major places in vietnam liao :eek:

Hi,

Just to share my visit to Danang, Hoi and Hue An. Been there few months back. Not very detailed as I am just a "passenger ' with my vb as the guide.

As to keep my trip expenses low, the hotels i booked are 2 to 3 star. At Danang, I stayed at Indochine, though its a 2 year old hotel, but the room still look new and the staff are friendly.

This hotel is situated near to the beach. Compared to Nha Trang, Danang beach has very very few visitors. Its like you own the whole place. But the are lots of stalls selling seafood opp of the beach and as I am not a sea food lover not much comment. I can't recall if the price is reasonable. We chose the stall that has lots of pple. As we do not know which stall is gd, so flow the folw.

We rented a bike and explored ard the area, if you like to visit temple can go to this temple with a tall kuan yin statue. From the beach area if you facing the sea its on the extreme left, able to spot it from far as its on high ground.

Took a 2 hour bike ride to bana hill and spent half a day there. The attraction is buildings built by the French for their own getaway. These buildings are now turn into hotels.
On the way need to stop to ask for directions. Bana Hill is situated on mountain top, so its cooling and need to take cable car. Currently construction is underway for a theme park. But part of the theme park is open for public.

Next took a bus to just a couple of hours or less to Hoi An, also stayed in a 2 star hotel, but this hotel though with good reviews but a bit dated. And the staff too busy with lots of ang mo tourists.

Anyway, I like Hoi An most, as the pple that are friendly. The auntie renting bikes and bicycles very approachable and telling us whr to eat etc. lenting a bike is $100k dong, which is half the price compare to Danang for 24hrs.

Hoi An has many ang mo tourists due to its old town, with all the wooden houses built I dont know how many hundred years back. They have many restaurants too and tired one of the local restaurant cant remember the name, ate hotpot, veg and drinks cost abt $200k dong.

Last went up north again to Hue. Visited their forbidden city, need to pay for entrance fee. Local and foreigners different price.

Had a bad experience with a silo. Was told an hour ride at 60k dong, he rode us ard the forbidden city area. Then asked whether we want to eat dessert and we said ok. Brought us to a shop which is selling local stuff, like tea leaves etc. We sat down and was offered free dessert, but ask if we would like to buy their goods. Did not buy anything but tip the salesgirl.

He brought us back to whr he picked us up and demanded 100k dong as he said total ride was 1 and half hour. Felt cheated but just gave him the money. Even my vb felt that the pple there quite dishonest.

Sorry if this post is irrelevant to the thread.

Your main cost is the location cos rental will eat up most of your capital.
3 month rental deposit
1st month rental
Do sink and deco maybe 10k to 15k
Product 10k and above

Takeover fees for an exsisting business is 10k to 20k,exclude rental

Everywhere is nail shop,so better do your own calculation.Pm me if u want to find out more cos later TS 'scold' me for turning this thread into manicure thread:p:eek::eek::D

Is not strong here,for this i agreed but does not mean that vietnam family cohesion is stronger,theirs is good.The way they treat each other and some more their own family members create their own vietnamese 'cohesion' in a different way

[Golden question]

jetstar still show danang in its flight destinaion but when u click .. it show no flight available :eek:

Reason is that time jetstar partner or take over their dosmetic airline call pacific airline,so if u book from sing to danang,they will fly to hcm and u transfer to pacific to go danang but now maybe no have already

previously tiger fly directly to danang before they start hanoi route but due to low demand,they remove

What is happiness?

It is true that we are expecting a lot and the list of expectations from childhood to the last minute of our life will be changing and increasing. But are we all enjoying our life even we met our expectations? No, this is because we are not having the mentality of a small child. If a child asking for something and if the child got that one, did anybody noticed the joy in the child's face. Did the same feeling or joy are we getting? What made the vast difference between a grown up human being and a child. This is because, we are searching for the next one without enjoying what we got. So it moves on and on. So is it possible to enjoy our life. So just rewind your life to the childhood.

In our childhood, during rainy season, if we saw water on the roadside, we will play in that water and purposely we will walk in the water. But when we are grown up, are we all doing the same. We are all just walking away of the water on the roadside. It doesn't mean that I am telling to do walk in the water now. This is just an example. Like that there are so many happiness flowing in our life as rain water. But we are all just walking away from that happiness. This is because our focus is not that water (happiness). We are focusing on other things which we thought it as happiness. But it will not be real happiness since we may not enjoy those moments heartfully.

[SingViet]

Demographic in Singapore has changed drastically for the past decade. The simple Sillypore that we grew up in is no longer there. We are `money crazy' in sillypore nowadays. But, isn't Vietnam the same? In VN, they can live simply, but majority are still craving for new motorbikes, new karaoke sets, new and bigger LED TVs etc. I feel that its the mentality of the person that needs to change. If you are happy having your present lifestyle, everywhere you go, you will be the same.

A person can be staying in a 3 room flat with his viet spouse and kid, but if they are happy having simple meals and taking public transport, their happiness index will be high. A person can be staying in a semi-d, drives a big MERC S class, have a few maids, but if he pit himself to the richest man in the world, he will never be happy. His happiness index will be very low. We all want to become better, from flat to condo to landed. This may be called `striving to be better', but if that makes us tired, we can choose to be simple and happy. In VN, if one is happy riding an old bike, staying in the province, having simple meals, happiness index will be high. But if he wants to pit himself against the upper class viets who drives expensive cars, stays in high class landed and have a lot of maids, then his happiness index will be low. The word is whether one is CONTENTED. :D

Bro singviet u are right on this which i agreed.End of the day is the word 'choice'.So sad to see nowadays youngster only want to enjoy and did not think of the consequences and totally forgot about living according to your own means

My brother bought a DBSS flat few years ago.Cost is 500k plus cos is very high level.Every month have to fock up 2k just for the house instalement.He drive a car and renovate his house until nice nice.But all instalement.So now both cannot lose job cos have to pay for expensive house,car,renovation loan and others.

Well is anybody choices,cos they choose to enjoy first and burden themselve with heavy debts where else one can choose to buy a cheap BTO,take public transport and simple renovation for their new house and in return less stress and debt.

No wonder nowadays those old folk say,theirs kids cant even support themselve and their family,then how to give them money to support them.Thats why so many old folk have to work to support themselve

Bro, you want to plant vegetables or potatoes, you also need to buy land to plant. Its not the `i can plant whereever i want in VN'. The land in province are also divided very carefully. The land price in the province have also increased drastically for the past 5 years. a small piece of land can cost US$15k onwards. If still want to build a brick house, add another US$15k to it. Sanitary will be big problem, unless you are alright to have the most primitive ones. Its surely not a good place to raise children.

[SingViet]

and do you know that everyday in Sillypore, there are people commit suicide, just read Sin Min, Wan Bao, everyday got people jump down, I'm not sure in vietnam, how the statistics show. :mad:

Its the same in VN la . They have more due to larger population. In Sillypore, people tend to be unhappy as they compare themselves with others better than them. See people buy condo, buy new cars , have maid etc and they don't have, then of course feel unhappy. For example, my wife has a fellow vietnamese friend, come our house always say her husband not good here and there. Say her house so small, no maid etc, say her husband's car no good, my car good etc. So how can she be happy? Happiness is found when one is contented. All these index are `bullshit' works of the SWM. The sample taken is so small as compared to the whole population, how can it be a true reflection? But one thing is for sure, singaporeans work very very hard and is very very stressed due to the ever rising cost of living. The next thing is if the country is more primitive, the people tend to be happier. The last happiness index, top country is Bhutan, where its still very primitive. The more built up a country is, the less happy the people will be. If you ask me what i am unhappy with now with Sillypore, i will say its SPACE. Its too crowded...Maybe i am BIG, so i need more space.... hihihi

Yes, we singkies everyday work n work, no personal leisure time, how to be happy? More than 1/2 day's time is spend on work, after work too tired to go anywhere. I met a friend on another friend's wedding dinner, he told me after the wedding dinner he has to go back office to work! :eek: and he gave me this: :(.

Notice that all those top 10 happy countries are so called "third world" countries. Maybe is simplicity is the key.

Yes SV, agreed with u singkie now is overcrowded. Imagine start the day with having to squeeze with people in the bus n train, after work also same. Have to look at their unhappy face, how to be happy? Driving also same, go work jam, after work also jam, a bit horn here horn there, how to be happy?

Just wondering is it because of their world no. 2 'happiness' ranking, Vietnam are going to build one mega amusement theme park call 'HappyLand' at Long An Province, learnt that upon completion in 2014, it will be one of the largest theme park in SEA, it definitely going to be a threat to our USS

[SingViet]

houses in vn does not come cheap leh...

Condos in VN has been going at cheap prices for the past 2 years as the property market has been in downturn due to high interest rates and poor economic activities. Many large property developers are facing cash flow problems and many apts are empty. Many apartments are going for half price or even less. But landed property prices are still sky high. As foreigner individuals, we can only buy condos.

They got tons of lands ... not shock to hear if they want to built whatever ...

They built is not to attract foreigner but more for the locals ... they have enough of locals to pack the place , so no need foreigner ...

Same as Dai Nam in Binh Duong ... Its so big and yet its so damn crowded .. once holiday .. die manz ..

Actually there was a economic report done not long ago, it stated that the demand generated by vietnam's population is not enough to sustain their own economy. The income of vietnamese have not reached the level that will generate enough demand. China's population and their income have reached a certain level where increase in local demand will generate economic growth. Vietnam depends on a lot on tourism nowadays, especially when their economy has been slowing down drastically. I am sure theme parks will attract tourists which in turn will generate more revenue for their government.

[Hurricane88]

In Sillypore, people tend to be unhappy as they compare themselves with others better than them. See people buy condo, buy new cars , have maid etc and they don't have, then of course feel unhappy. For example, my wife has a fellow vietnamese friend, come our house always say her husband not good here and there. Say her house so small, no maid etc, say her husband's car no good, my car good etc. So how can she be happy? Happiness is found when one is contented.

I am always so happy when I am in Vietnam...so unhappy when i am back in sinkie...:)

hated the most women who are not contented...this friend of your wife is an unlucky star to her hubby...she criticized her hubby so much sure bring bad luck to him...failed to think she should had stayed in Vn province and lived in damn worst conditions...still dare to marry sinkie men and complained here and there...such woman can really be a headache and a pain in the ass...:)
