One thing that fellow bros can observe is that vietnamese like to be regarded as `Viet kieu' Once they are staying abroad, they start to put on air when they return to VN. Locals will also see these ladies as different. proud to be Vietnamese? or overseas vietnamese?

View them as someone higher class and richer...as a result will charge them more when they purchase something....

I suppose Bro TM means that the locals actually refer to the people from the Viet Kieu's new country of residence ?

How these gals are viewed will actually depend on a lot on the level of society these gals come from.

(1) Normal village gals (including WL) - marrying a foreigner is good news and these gals will be viewed as having to move to a higher class. These gals are deemed to be financially more stable than their peers from the village. At the same time, their family back in Village will also be more respected with a foreigner son-in-law

(2) Middle income from city - marrying a foreigner doesn't make much difference to their families but will give the gal a good chance to stay overseas. These middle income gals are normally better educated and can speak english. They have more of their own thinking and marriage is surely not something that is largely related to financial reasons

(3) rich - very much similar to (2)

(4) rich and powerful - these are a totally different breed. These rich and powerful ladies are normally daughters of high ranking government officers. These gals may like foreigners but their families are normally against them marrying foreigners as they do not want others to gossip that they need foreigners support financially. These breed are damm well off themselves.

Some bros may not have idea on how poor some of these village gals can be in vietnam. Just to let bros have some idea:

(1) Houses in village may be made of banana leafs and bamboo.
(2) No proper water supply. These villagers depend on rain water. They have huge buckets to retain rain water. The water is then used to shower and to wash plates etc etc
(3) They do not use shower cream nor proper shampoo. They normally use very cheap soaps that cost around 3000 VND to 5000 VND. Some even use soaps that's used for washing clothes
(4) No proper toilet, no proper toilet bowl etc. Use leafs to wipe backside. The luckier ones use newspaper
(5) they survive only on around $100 singapore dollars a month for a family of 5 to 6. Salaries of $3 to $5 a day is very normal.
