This formula will work with Singaporean ladies, but surely not with vietnamese ladies. Vietnamese will prefer not to discuss about certain sensitive issues and the foreigner man should know what to do.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Interesting... What is the book about? What is the title? I would like to read and understand more about viet culture. :)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I recently know a MALAY guy who have a VIET gf and he say that his viet gf is willing to convert to muslim and marry him.

Pardon my ignorant. But this is the 1st time i heard of a MALAY + VIET combination.:confused:

I wonder if there are muslim in VN and if viet gal understand malay culture and readily accept it?:confused:

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

The other 2 formula is
1) to act blur and not talk about it since vietnamese prefer not to discuss
2) to act poor also...say will give if got xtra cash.

There are actually a few mosque in HCM City. Personally, i have not met any vietnamese muslim yet, but i do know some indian muslim guys from india and pakistan who have married vietnamese gals and have also settled in HCM City.

I think it is a very good idea. When money is coming out from their own pocket (in this case the money belongs to them), they will be more prudent with the spending as they feel the pinch.

Hm... Theres one Hindu temple near benh thanh market. A lot of local went there to pray... There is a big Hu Ye (Tiger) and Goddess of Mercy each on 1 side of temple entrance facing in....

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

The book I reading now is not actually abt Viet culture but instead a real life story of a viet ger during recent Vietnam War. It somehow mentioned life of vietnamese before, during and after the war. I can feel it cos it is only a few decades ago and I'm seeing it now. The book is called "The girl in the picture" by Denise Chong.

I think to be gambling so big is a bad habit...be it in SG or VN or anywhere else.

I did knew a VN gal for sometime...she has a kid....she is now back in VN. Pretty sad background, my heart goes out to her but my mind knew going into a real relationship will be very diffcult.

But the narration of the VN gal using chopsticks ash to blacken the lashes....I don koe...each time I think....my heart really really is sad :(

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

In a developing country like Vietnam, there are plentiful of sad stories. Main thing is we shouldn't allow the Vn WL to make use of our sympathy to make more money for themselves. Those who work, no matter WL or normal work, deserves to be rewarded with money, but those that do not work due to laziness, shouldn't be rewarded with money also due to sympathy.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

If i not wrong there is one tv program doing charity for those needed help. They will filmed the household members daily activities and then end of it is a screen showing name, place, amount of donation and total amount clooected. One rep will hand a envelop of money over to the head of family.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I agree with you on this this Bro, WL or normal work. No doubt WL is not a "dream job", but I would think at times this is hard not to choose, given the circumstances they gals are in :(
