Flowers and chocolates - how to get them bought and delivered?
A friend was good enough to show me around Saigon on my most recent trip. Her birthday is coming up and I'd like to do something nice for her in return. Her favourite flower is the daisy and her favourite chocolate is Ferrero Rocher. Yep, you ... Read More
Is this too good to be true? Relationship questions. by tqt76
I met a Vietnamese girl from an online dating website. She wasn't the first girl who contacted me, but was the one who contacted me. She is 27 years old, and I'm a 38 years old Vietnamese/Chinese American. I can only understand the ...
Let me see if I have this straight. A (supposed) girl contacted you online. Google translate is your "relationship counsellor". She gets her kit off on webcam for you (and this is before she tells you she loves you). Within 2 months of ... Read More
Clueless in Saigon and need your help by AnEyeOnSaigon
Hi there expatters. I'm in Saigon during April visiting family and have very little idea of what to do here. I'd love to hear your recommendations. It would probably help if I introduce myself so that you can frame your recommendations ...
Yes, please send me the details of that day trip as it sounds like it's right up my alley. Btw, I graduated law uni though I am not a lawyer now.You did the right thing. You at least now have a life, friends, respect and get to see sunlight! Read More

I asked the relatives about Sapa and they tell me that it's a beautiful but inconvenient place to get to, I'll have to check it out on my next visit as one supposedly needs almost a week to cover the transport time from Saigon and the time ... Read More

Carbon monoxide, traffic and passage of time aside, I think the Saigon belly might claim me first. Having seen the food preparation standards of some of the street stalls (or should that be the lack of such standards?), I'm going to invest in a ... Read More

I have a thing for sarcasm and humour, too, but hey, nobody is perfect ;) I'll need to check my schedule for the 18th. You know how it is with a very large extended family here. You need to get each and everyone's permission to make sure ... Read More

I can't say I've been to the AO show. Tell me more. What does the AO stand for? Lawyer bashing comments and jokes are always welcome. If you can't get them to laugh with you, it's always better if they're laughing at you rather ... Read More

Yes, a shame. We seem to share the same acerbic sense of humour, including a mutual disdain for legal folk, which in my case, involves a serious case of self loathing. Do you know what the difference is between a lawyer and a cat fish? One is a ... Read More

Many thanks for the warm replies, as well as the somewhat tepid ones - AustriaKarl, I'm looking at you ;) Apologies for my late response. I've been making hay while the sun and pollution shine and have just come back from Dalat, Nha Trang ... Read More
