Why are some foreigners - especially expats - hostile and patronized? by Scarletvn
Have you ever meet them on the street of Vietnam or in a forum? In someway I can understand why some of foreigners are suspicious when doing something with local people. I think good and bad people are everywhere, we should be careful with strangers ...
Hi There's no reason why you should get scolded for that as it's a fact! But it's their culture, their social way of being. I used to work with many asians from many asian countries, and their side, they don't understand why in western countries ... Read More

I can read a lot of comments about poor/rich... But, what are you actually talking about? Money? Ah, ok, considering only poor/rich people this side, I can understand many comments. Not sure this is the best richness though. And I definitely get ... Read More
Expert certificate by benjoj
Hi I've pretty much chosen the worst time to decide to move to Vietnam, as there are recent laws that have come in meaning it is very difficult to get a work permit if you don't have a degree. However, I am not put off by this. I have done a lot ...

Supposing I understand your comment the right way, and with no willing in being offensive, how can you pretend that??? For sure VN men in here will appreciate your comment! Do you really think some VN men's attitude is their exclusivity? Don't you ... Read More

Hi John, Thanks also for your answer. I don't think I missed that point, in fact, the main thing is that I try to see this from a young vn girl point of view, at least I try! You seem to see that from a westerner point of view. That changes ... Read More

Hi ancientpathos. Please be sure I don't want to be offensive. If you feel offended, it's only because of my bad english! I think that if lady's (young ones) want to date you, if you are marriage material, if vn people (especially young girls) ... Read More

Why are so many expats hostile on some of these threads? by I do believe
On the thread regarding harm caused by fast food outlets and Vietnamese non-comprehension of Vietnamese there appears to be some pretty negatively aggressive conversation. More than once I have used the negativity of the word "ad hominem" wherein ...
That was the least I could do after such a misunderstanding! Read More

Thank you for pointing out what it really meant and sorry for my comment. It can be really confusing to understand the real sense of a sentence when you're not native english. I do apologize for my misunderstanding. Read More

66 million French, 66 million the same. That's one special way of thinking and seeing human kind. I can now understand why you choose such a name. It clearly indicates the origin of your personality and way of thinking. That, at least, was really ... Read More

How would you react if I wrote on a public forum you were a parasite? (btw, I'm not the guy you're talking about) Unless you have no self-esteem of you, your country and your compatriot... As I am the exception with not being a parasite, I never ... Read More

I would like to start by saying that I love Vietnam and the people, I have many good VIetnamese friends. I would just like to share my experience. I met her mid may, we seemed to hit it off. She was so sweet and fun. We kept in touch after I ...
Hi dude Sorry for what happened to you. For my own curiosity, having a little more understanding of your misfortune, and if you agree, I'd like to know the following : - how old is she? - where did you met her? - what's her job? - how could she ... Read More
Considering a big move to Hanoi from Canada by kelly0226
Hello Everyone, I currently live in Toronto Canada. Life has taken me in a direction of exploring opportunities overseas. I have a connection in Hanoi who suggested I come over and teach English. I would love to hear experiences from other ...

You didn't got my mind, but for sure it's because of my bad english. It's always good that everyone gives his opinion. What I don't appreciate is the way of expressing these opinions. If you don't like spinach, just say "I don't like spinach" and ... Read More
