[QUOTE=Blast88;7431548]For me, I always buy 5kg of ' bak gua' when visit in-law, it their family all time favourite & must be from Singapore. Although ' mei chen xiang' also have francise in HCM, but taste not as good.[

Wah, 5kg will cost about $200. I once bought 1 dozen eagle brand oilment (green colour) for them, they like the singapore brand.

My wife forbid me from touching beers and also forbid her relatives from drinking in front of me because she don't want me to feel tempted.

I don't know to feel hearten or sad

im so excited for my virgin trip to Vietnam. Especially need to meet my baxa parents...i cant speak viet!!!

What gift should i bring for her parents (SGD100 angpao izit ok or gift is preferred)? I be there in her province (Mekong Delta) for 2 weeks, is $1K enough for daily expense (3 meals & drinks for family of 8 adults & 5 kids below 8yrs old)?

I brought 700... still change me back 150SGD....

Cant speak Viet? No worries
Just need to keep saying "xin loi. Khong hieu. Cam on" and your ba xa should do the rest.

I went to her hometown in Dongnai(or lam dong?)... took the 5-hrs super comforty coach and reached there around 3am. They let me sleep in their masterbed room. Next morning, we went for breakfast with her family (2 out of 5 sisters were there with their mum), less than 150k can settle. Then her aunty came and we went to the market to buy ingredients to cook for the rest OF her relatives for lunch. I was waiting for about 45mins because butchers are mincing pork and beef (two loafs.. big one!) and 2 chicken... (i tot to myself.. hg, half of my expenses gone). Then, we went back home, and her relatives slowly came to help to cook and prepare the food. Then, relatives living in DALAT came.. and i offer to buy bia because the hard liquor is not enough for 10 over men... but she said nope bcos she don't want me to be tempted and reprimand those men. Everyone came to see me... (

)

That night, she told me we spent alot.. and i'm prepared to hear the bad news.. she told me "800,000vnd"(45SGD?) Troi o!! After that, went to her mum's coffeebean plantations and her family businesses... then went back to ho chi minh to enjoy... couple spa everyday, hotel everyday because sound-proof, coffee day and night, movies, shopping

End of my 1 week tour, she pass me back 100SGD.

So, SGD1000 can be done. Only on honesty

Like the bros have said, just buy somethings for them can liao. My 1st trip to meet the parents session, i go vn empty handed, cos my bxa, then gf, told me that no need to buy anything from sing, buy in vn on the way to her parents hse. What she bought were fruits and some biscuits. I only start giving money after i marry her.

Can guess that u r quite young, so excited.

I told my girl that i have debts and very poor...(but in actual fact....)

But her mum still willing to let her marry me

Huat ah!

Similarly, that medicated oil is also available in vn but they say it is better if bought in singapore. But to me they are the same.

U put in check in luggage, by the time u reached yur wife place n open it up it will be spoilt. The heat in the aircraft baggage compartment plus heat in the coach compartment of yur 5hrs coach ride will spoil it. Nobody put in check in luggage wan lah. Hand carry over can liao, can pass through custom, no problem.

U eat what for breakfast ha? Used 150k?

大鱼大肉?

U mentioned got back S$150 then u say S$100.

S$1000 can do alot of things can feed alot of ppl liao. But he mentioned may be going to Nha Trang so shld be just nice. Provided he dun spend too much on hotels.

Of course u cant sleep well lah cos u know once u touch down at TSN airport tomorrow,u will be super happy and excited to reach their home ground.

For me once touch down is straight away escort to her 'lock up'.Only release on the return date.

For other married bro once touch down,straight away go province

At least at province,once leave the house is surrounded by nature like trees and farm but in hcm is surrounded by vb cos is at city,their city dressing is different from vb who came here to work.
