Is the flooding in Ho Chi Minh City getting worse year by year? by NYSTEACHER
Can anyone who has lived here five years or more comment? In my neighborhood it is far worse this year than last year. I'm concerned about the long term viability of living in this city, particularly the part I'm in, also my wife owns land ...
Yep, I knew it was going to be a problem in my neighborhood when they drained some nearby swamps and are now building a slew of houses on that "land". Don't they have any engineers that forsee such problems here? That said, that is ... Read More

Dengue Fever without a fever? by NYSTEACHER
Is this possible? I have such a bizarre rash and I had assumed it was heat rash, although after living here for over 2 years I've never had heat rash before, nor have I had it living in other hot places. It's prickly and itchy and spreading ...

So does someone have contact information for getting a license (one that will be accepted in a worst case scenario)? What happens if you kill someone and you have a license? No prison if you are sober? I would assume they would assess who is at ... Read More
Understanding Vietnamese girls by GuestPoster2698
So on my first trip to Vietnam I met a girl and saw her for a few days. Being the skeptical dude that I am and knowing nothing about Vietnam, the first night that we met I didn't give her my phone number but she and her friend made plans with my ...
The average salary in Vietnam is low, so I suspect looks are far less important here in a marriage, at least in theory. I am told cheating is very common (by Vietnamese people not expats), if that is true, marrying for money over attraction could be ... Read More

Here's a tip that should work in any country. Imagine the object of your desire grew up in the US or Canada or Australia or wherever you're from. Would they be out of your league there? I'd say there is some wiggle room being an expat, ... Read More
