The years there saw lots of struggle and lots of learning. My wife helped me a lot, but we still suffered like mad. Now in my late 30s, i have been cheated so many times by vietnamese, learned so much of the vietnamese culture and how they conduct business. I have learnt to protect myself and my interest. From 2002 till now, Vietnam has seen so much changes in development, but many aspects remain the same.

Respect u for the courage and determination to venture there alone knowing the unknown in a foreign country and not forgetting the language barrier u face when doing a business there.Is your fighting spirit that makes u have your financial status now.U really make it.

Yah,agree with u on vietnam have a lot of changes in development but viet people thinking still remain the same.I use to tell my wife that vietnam will be rich maybe after 10 years due to a lot of good news from press about young population with drive and more educated and also after vietnam join WTO on 2007,she told me she dont think so cos she say their govertment is incapable.Very true if u look at their inflation now.

Is true that more high rise commercial building or interntional branded boutique have been build there compare to the first time i first went in 2004/2005 but now i cant really see any progress for normal folk over there.

Btw bro,i thought your age should be around 40 plus cos from your comment or post makes u sound very experience.U definately really experience those shit that makes your advise so valuable for ppl who think they know a lot about vietnam

For my case, each trip I spent about $1,000, but I have only taken 5 such trips so far. 50 trips would have cost me $50,000.

Now even ticket for return trip.
Now on plane, the stewardess will give u immigration form to fill in, but it is actually not necessary to do that.
