Yeah, they expect alot from us, foreigners. I was in VN during TET and her parents was asking why I did not wear shirt and pants on the 1st day of TET when I already made an effort to wear a bright red t-shirt. Diao them. Gift wise, her family did not insist much. Instead, her parents and her uncle (I stayed at her uncle house) kept asking me not to buy anything for them (I made an effort to try to buy something like a carton of beer or a hamper)
Vietnamese culture is very difficult. Fxxk them. I openly complaint to her parents and told them that they are being unfair to me and my gf by making it hard for us to be together while her brother in law got it easy by making her older sister pregnant and they had a very quick and urgent marriage. Somemore her parents can still tell her older sis to treat her hubby well, give in to him and listen to him and then tell my gf not to listen to me so much and not to treat me so importantly. Really want to vomit blood. Im glad now Im back in Singapore.
