I will have to be a bit crude on this. You want to buy land for your ger or buy under her name? You must be crazy. The situation here is quite simple, i can only think of 2 possible scenarios, Firstly, you are a super greenhorn in vietnam whom yr ger rules your mind thru yr dick or Secondly, you want to show off to your ger that you got the money to provide for her, even to the extend of buying land for her.

Let's look at the first scenario. Buying a piece of land for yr ger when you are not even married to her. This is what a super greenhorn will do for a ger that he thinks has provided her with damm good sex. Don't expect loyality from a viet ger that you have known for a short period of time or even a viet spouse that you have married for a short period of time. They are capable of anything to get money. As a foreigner, you cannot own land under your name, buying land under your ger's name is basically giving her and her family the money. One piece will lead to 2 pieces of land. After some time, she will dump you and you will get nothing back. Even if you report to their police, you still cannot get the land back as the land is under her name.

Second scenario. Showing off to her and her family. If want to show off to her that you have the financial means to support her, make sure the folllowing:

(1) After marrying her, make sure you can get her PR within 6 months and Citizenship within 2 years
(2) Make sure you have a nice posh condo for her to stay in
(3) Make sure you have a branded car worth over $200k to drive her around
(4) Make sure you have a few maids for her
(5) Make sure you can satisfy her family's every wants and needs, i.e. whole family no need to work, can drink coffee all day and do nothing and yet have your financial support

If you cannot achieve these, then forget it.

If you really want to invest in vietnam properties, look to buying apartments. There's a few good projects in District 2, An Phu, near the British International School. Check out Capital Land website.

Vietnam power prices up 15 pct in March
The government has decided to raise power prices by 15.28 percent this March, a smaller hike than the one sought by state utility EVN.

An official of the Industry and Trade Ministry said the increase of 15.28 percent was approved after the government considered both the cost factor in power production and how the price hike would affect inflation and daily lives.

The hike will bring average power price to VND1,241 per kilowatt-hour. Last year the country raised its power prices by 6.8 percent, after an increase of 8.92 percent in 2009.

For this year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade had proposed an increase of between 18 and 30.3 percent while EVN wanted a 20-40 percent hike.

The government has said EVN is now selling electricity at 30 percent to 40 percent lower than production costs.

Officials at the Finance Ministry estimate that even after a 15 percent power hike, EVN will continue to suffer huge losses.

Ta Van Huong, head of the Energy Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said the ministry will announce specific power prices for household use and commercial use by March 1. It is likely that household consumers will face a larger price hike than enterprises, he said.

Siao liao, now their petrol prices also rise over 20%. Our dear bros may need to send more money back to their evil MIL

Thai police free 14 Vietamese women from illegal baby ring The women, who looked like they were raped, were rescued from surrogate baby breeding ring in Thailand. -AFP

Thu, Feb 24, 2011

BANGKOK - Fourteen Vietnamese women, seven of them pregnant, have been rescued from an "illegal and inhuman" surrogate baby breeding ring in Thailand, officials said Thursday.

Police said the company, called Baby 101, received orders by email or via agents from childless couples and in some instances the male partner would provide sperm to inseminate the women.

"This is illegal and inhuman. In some cases it looks like they were raped," said Public Health Minister Jurin $$$$$nawisit, who added that those carrying children would be cared for in a private hospital.

Vietnamese women, some of whom were offered thousands of dollars per baby, were held in two houses in Bangkok and had their passports confiscated.

The women were freed after they were able to send an email to the Vietnamese embassy, which tipped off Thai authorities.

"We found 13 people in two houses when we searched, we found one more today at the hospital," said Lieutenant colonel Prasat Khemaprasit, of Immigration police. The woman at the hospital had just given birth.

"Nine of the women said they had volunteered to work because they were told they would earn 5,000 dollars for each baby. Four said they were tricked," said Major General Manu Mekmok, commander of investigations for the immigration department.

Police said four Taiwanese, one Chinese and three Myanmar nationals were arrested in connection with the business and charged with illegally working in Thailand.

A 35-year-old Taiwanese woman, who police said ran the operation, was also charged with human trafficking.

Police are investigating whether more women are being held in different locations.

Nearly 40 women, who are identified only by a numbered code, are pictured in various poses on a website, www.baby-1001.com, believed to be run by the company, many of which seem to be around a swimming pool at the same property.

The surrogacy service, from egg and sperm donation to the delivery of a baby, is advertised on the site for $32,000 plus other expenses.

It appears to be aimed at Taiwanese customers and says that because running a commercial surrogacy business in that country is illegal it conducts its operations in other locations.

Offices were listed in Bangkok, Phnom Penh in Cambodia and Vietnam.

The website says Thai women are not used as surrogates and adds "the protection of the law is absolutely (sic)".

It says where the women live "there are security lookout in every entrance, severely control the person and vehicles that pass in and out to the community, the guards routinely patrol around 24 hours a day all year".

Pictures of pregnant women in the house are also shown.

The company describes itself as "eugenics surrogate" and promises no "connection between consignor (client) and surrogate mother".

"We could create the finest procreation condition for your baby, mainly through the efficient embryo refining, only the superior left for implanting," it adds.

Phil Robertson, of New York-based Human Rights Watch said there should be a "full investigation and prosecution to the full extent of the law".

"This is human trafficking in its most perverse and horrific form, sexual exploitation and rape, the mind boggles that something like this could happen," he said.

The Vietnamese embassy was unavailable for comment.

if he can afford the second scenario, even the viet gals from the upper class don't mind marrying him. The above-mentioned is what I know for many tais tais......

my only approach to viet girlfriends is this:

(1) ALWAYS ACT POOR
(2) always be willing to help, but heart willing, body weak...aka no money
(3) even if really help or give $$$, always pretend need to take loan or borrow $$$ to help

Hi all, i ve been dating my VN gal for 1 year liao been visiting her about 6 to 10 times and her coming to spore 3 to 4 times also after seeing tis thread and reading so much abt ppl concern abt their Vn gal i totally ve to agree with many points being memtion here

maybe i consider lucky lol, her dad pass away in usa and her mum and youngest sis stayed there left her and her elder brother to fend for themselves in HCM.Somemore i 33 and she 29 she no longer those syt always daydreaming abt hooking on to some rich turtle who can provide for them lol.

Her elder brother already married ve a family so she only ve to look after herself. The point is tat when u get a VN gal-friend and they keep asking money from u i dun really blame them lol, lets look at normal jobs for low education factory work 12hrs shift 5 days work total to 300 to 400 sing dollars even same for waitress and servers and at some place the outlets only provide u meals and basic pay ur major pay must come from tips from customers lol.

So for many young VN gals they wouldnt want to earn their money so hard lol unless u want ur gal to work as FL or places like cafe Oem ( cafe tat sell drinks and got gals company u can touch touch kiss kiss lol)

When u first know ur gal did u do ur part to let her understand ur finacial status ?

U r juz the same as everyone ur money is hard earn or did u always act big shot in front of her? If yes dun blame her always trying to squeeze some money out from u with alot of stupid lame excuses lol

Of course if u r really serious abt tis relationship u really need to make an effort to go VN and understand her family and lifestyle. Expample my gal she work since young age from waitress and supervisor at factory own a coffeshop at a point of time sell it for treatment for dad who work in usa at tat point of time and to jobs like supervising labours to renovate houses tat she secure the renovation from friends and recommandation. she earns the leftover commission after she paid the workers .And mind she sometimes had to work 10 to 12 hrs to look after those workers see if they do a good job during those rushing for time contract. How i know from times i visit i didnt not juz go relax and play i make it apoint to really find out wats she doing and i company her as well and of course there r times tat bad she cant find jobs and to ask me for some money to tight her over but only ranging 100 to 200 for abt 2 times in tis 1 year.

What i am trying to say is tat did u do your part to sercure tis relation? Are u acting the superior role above her in terms of money and status?

Just my 2 cents worth

How can you compare apples with oranges? For 300 to 400 sing dollars for factory workers you definitely cannot survive in Singapore. However I believe that with that amount in Vietnam and their cost of living I think they can survive in Vietnam. Mind you for factory workers in China are paid between Yuan 1500 to 2500 (equivalent to S$300 to $500) and they can survive and cannot believe the cost of living in Vietnam is more costly than PRC.

Normal low pay factory worker, waitress, servers dun earn so much. Should be earning 1-2 mil VND which is lower than 200SGD. Unless u work in pubs and disco which needs your face to sell, PR a bit type of waitress or bartenders, you might earn 2-5 mil VND per mth, depending on tips. Where did u get the information earning 300-500SGD??
