may be I was part of the vietanmese refugee wave that got left behind in sillypore and was adopted ...may want to check with my mum the truth behind my birth .....

I think you spent much more time in Joo Chiat than in Vietnam, so your feeling of `at home in vietnam ' is actually still in Singapore. As for you being left behind by the vietnamese refugees, i seriously doubt so. If you still look the same and with the same size i saw you many years ago, for sure you are not vietnamese

my wife is also quite selective with who to mix with, becos she ever told me in vietnam... she dun like to mix with those that come from countryside..

her friends mostly quite well off one... haiz... wad to do now?.... i no $$$ hehe

You belong to the same category as Bro Sha Gua, whose vietnamese wife was former student in Singapore. Something i find it weird, 4 years roi, your wife should be very much used to life in Singapore, unless she has been returning to Vietnam very often. If you allow her to spend a lot of time in Vietnam, then forever she will not be used to life here. As for the richer vietnamese, most of the time, they do not like to mix around with people from the countryside.

Vietnamese from the countryside are very superstitious. Each village will sure have a few so called `witches' that earn their living by performing rituals for the local people. Some even claimed that if someone has stolen your money, they can perform ritual to make the thief appear before you and return you the money. To each their own, but my experience tells me that most of them are bullshitters. I remember my wife told me that if want to be successful in business, must `feed' a priest in the village to help me. When my business is good, the priest will claim its his rituals that help me to earn money. So i must give him a few million VND. When business is bad, i asked him for help. Boastful enough to say `no problem, i do ritual and your business will be good' 2 weeks later, business still bad and my wife told him. He immediately says `because this month your luck no good so nothing can help' knn.... this is total bullshit. If business good, its his credit, if business no good, its my fault. So why should i feed him? Not good still want to boast to be the best in the province. I had enough.

Bro, vietnam also got durian la and lots of it. The durian they have is the more watery type, but not bad tasting. Its a personal preference la. As for malay and indian food, my wife also do not like after so long. My wife also don't like the almond taste, like almond jelly. She says almond is a chinese thingy, vietnamese don't like.

As for her friends being well off, you got no choice. You choose to marry a viet lady of her calibre, you got to accept. Since she got her degree, get her to work. It will help her to adapt to life here better and lighten your financial burden.

Mil always tell my wife to listen to me and not be a spoilt girl. I have been married for almost 4 years and I have gone thru quite a lot with my wife and till now she still haven't adapted. So its not an overnight thing. Just my two cents.

cultural difference are something that is in-born and de-programming will take time ....

4 years is a long time but patience is the key .....just keep the communication open ......

Hi bro, wife cannot be bought one, cannot last. You can also doesn't mean that she will not run away.

somemore those off the shelves are just a tip of a ice bergs, most cmi one. some even say they may be divorcees / part time bar girls etc. my point is, why confine yourself to so limited choice when you can have the whole population to choose and tackle? do you have any ideas how many syt there are in vietnam?

imagine yourself just grab one from the agency, bonded by woman charter, then met the right one. sure bang balls.

suggest you gather a few buddies to go for holiday in your desired area. walk the ground and you will never look back (at agencies / singapore girls).
