Amazing info here actually, not just love, sex, but biz info as well. Very useful thread for those nobbies who wish to find out more about Vietnam thru the sharing of experience from other bros...

The only thing here is there are 800 plus pages for me to read!!!! I'm now only on the 10th page....wahahahaha!

I shall update my progress here...


Thanks bros !

Reading is only for reference .....

Some are true ... some are not ...

Different people encounter different experiences ...

Some say good .. some say bad ....

Some like .. some don't like ...

IF you haven't step foot into Vietnam , and if u think by reading here and listen to people and you can go in and start a business ... prepare to donate to vietnam to help help flourish its economy ...

make a few trips there , stay for a while. observe a while ...

Whose wife or rather which girl doesnt want these stuffs? Somemore if she not working, so naturally she has to ask u to buy.

u are actually not stupid....

if borrow from loan sharks,the interest rate is usually 15%-30%.

and there are some who even request the interest to be paid daily.

very rare cases to get 10% interest unless u really know the other party well or the loan amount is very big and u give something as colletoral. e.g house,land,motor bike etc.

I think to buy clothings and shoes are normal, but to constantly buy gold is not a good sign. I know of many VS (Viet Spouse) who constantly ask their foreigner husband to buy gold for them and when they return to VN for holidays, they will give all the gold to their mother.

Viet peasant mothers are damm good at acting. I think i mentioned before that my wife always think that her mother is damm poor and always want to help to feed her and the rest of the family. Recently, she found out that her mother is damm rich. She has been going around buying up parcels of land around her village.

So bros with VS, providing your spouse with clothes and shoes are normal (but not excessive) but buying of gold should be limited to `once in a bluemoon'

Why she borrow and you pay? I warned my wife before, don't go borrow from loan sharks for her family and ask me to pay, i will never pay.

Very true bro. So many singaporeans, without knowledge of Vietnam, think that they can just pump money into VN and returns will come immediately and fast. Wait till they kanna con big time and their hard earned money gets flushed down the saigon river, then they realised its not so easy after all. You cannot trust the vietnamese to run your business, they will makan you big time. But how do you run a business when you know peanuts about the country and its people?

i bought her clothing and shoes when she was not working. she started working middle of last year and is now getting S$1.3k per month.

Last year some of my mother's jewelry went missing, then our wedding jewelry and my mother's wedding and other jewelry was stolen.

she complains that now she dont have any gold jewelry since our wedding jewelry is stolen. so i bought a gold necklace abt S$1k for her. and it went missing 2 months later.

suspect the maid and we changed a new maid without going to the police as we do not have any evidence.

all this happened last year. her mother can here last year to help take care of out 2 babies. staying for 2 to 3 months a time for the whole of last year.

now she have returned to vietnam for good as her husband had an affair with a viet lady. believe it or not, that viet lady came to their house to look for her husband even when she and my wife have returned home last december. they had a fight and my wife quickly bought a new house and moved within a month.

now she is complaining and wants me to buy her gold and clothing and shoes to show my care and concern for her.
