Việt Kiều

Congrats.

i spot the FOB squat.

It probably burns to the vietnamese staff that they have to hand over visas to go to the US but they cant go to the US themselves.

Most people live there for much less. It like 60-70k job over here is like a 15-20k job over there.

Take the time to really know each other or else you might fall victim to a scam, like many have when blindly going into a relationship in Nam.

Yep this year its going to be the bulls.

I hope Lebron James is never going to win a championship.

she might even get priority and don't have to wait as long

If thats the case then everyone and their mom are going to come in on wheel chairs.

J-rome gave up on his visa journey anyways. He has stated he is going to stay in vietnam for good now because he thinks that America is worst off than Vietnam.

Is it some sort of vn proverb for she is unhappy?

Someone is going to get rid of the archive button now.

$hit just got real.

Backup batteries to the alarm system and cell signals instead of phone lines.

No, what they ought to do is let parents do their job, and stop being a nanny state.

The majority of parents can't do thier job there because most of them are trying to find every way possible to rip everyone off as much as they can.

Super nintendos can't go online gaming. Vietnam is so old school. If they want to stop it they should regulate pricing for those internet cafes and raise the prices on them so little kids can't afford to play games anymore. They goverment should "tax" those businesses high so that they in turn have to charge their customers higher.

When is it going to be on installous?

Those corrupt people got nothing better to do with their money.

Did you take the time to really know her and her family before you took the big step in trying to spend the rest of your life with them? If the father in-law kicks the mother in-law out then so be it. Are you going let your wife stay at home with her parents for the rest of her life? He's just bluffing trying to be a hard ####.

Nobody forces you to live there, short or long term. If for whatever reason you don't like, feel free to leave.

The reason most of you were/are there is because you can't afford to have a "normal" wife here in the States, because of your age/look/financial status/social ranking, so on so forth. The rest of the pack (tourists) want CHEAP vacations. You get what you paid for. When your vacation is over and time for you to leave, do you even care the daily suffering (in your case, your whining, without the cheese of course) the VNese people have to face? I doubt it.

The ladies over there need to get outta the hell hole. Both sides benefit. Simple and straight forward.

You paid so cheaply for everything and you want quality standard? Ever heard of the expression "You get what you paid for?"

I'm so sexy for my age...................minus the "just for men" I fully stock in my medicine cabinet at any given time

I'm so sexy for my look.................. minus the "bald eagle spots here and there on my head of course"

I'm so sexy for my cloth................. of course, I'm always sexy when my waist measurement is consistently above 34 and my BMI is above 24

I'm so sexy, sexy, sexy.

I see lots of sexy duds (repeat, I said dud, not stud) when I grocery-shopped at Hong Kong City Mall.

So whats the reason why you married your wife from Vietnam? Is it all of the above?

I use to take sleep pill at night when I returned back to the US so I can sleep at night and try to stay awake during the day. Sleeping as much as you can on the plane also does help out a lot.

Trời Ơi! Khó hiểu ông nói tiếng anh quá.

Nice Video Anh Map, those are cheesy music playing... I hate it when Vietnamese editors put funny music like that on wedding video, they all seem generic, It's like when they thought it was cool in the 80's and then they keep on doing it till this day. I got a kick out of when changed colors and you turned green like you were the hulk. "You won't like him when he's angry!"

Jerome, you are showing the whole board how much of a ####### you are and how much of adolesent you are in this whole thread. Your are even more immature for going right behind her and following her post when she is obviously trying to bury this topic into the next page. People do so little and it sets you off so easily. I wonder what happens when you and your fiancee fight. You probably come out with some mumbo jumbo and think that you are right all the time.

Last word. Had to get it in.

Do we get that same special rate that you get if we say you sent us? he he he...

Geez! I could answer that question if I had any clue what rate we actually pay! I just hand Phuong my wallet, and she gives Men whatever she thinks is fair. In total, I think we're probably paying more than most guests, but we're getting more than just a room. Men drops what he's doing when we're in town, and is our guide in HCM. He knows the best restaurants and interesting places to go, and makes sure the cab drivers don't rip us off. He meets us at the airport, and takes us back to the airport when we leave. He also goes to the market to make sure our mini fridge is well stocked with Pepsi Lite! He even handles the cameras when we're doing tourist stuff.

The room is technically 'free' for us. We're giving Men a tip for all the assistance he gives us, but Phuong makes sure it's enough to compensate for the room as well.

I knew it was free from conversations earlier in the year, that is what I was pokin at... I am the same way with $ there.... I like the idea of having the wife manage the money and distribute the $. Thuy isnt used to it yet as her mother has always been the one to do it, so she is learning.

In HCMC I have been staying at the same hotel for years after the university had me stay at the Rex the first time, I decided I would find somewhere more our style... and price... They charged the University 160 per night for my room at the Rex... more than 4 times what it is worth...

I am with you Scott, I let Binh handle the money, this way they don't try to cheat me when I pay for things. This morning she went to work and I stayed in the hotel for another hour or so when I went to leave, I could not find my wallet anywhere. I think it is better this way, they are used to dealing with people and getting better prices. And they feel it is our money and they do not want to be cheated as badly as we don't want to get cheated. Jerome

You are telling Dai_Tx and lindal24 that what they post has nothing to do with the topic but you post something like this? Why you being hard on them when you are doing what you preach not to do. Don't be so hypocritical.

I see your point, just like this post does nothing for the original topic, so I now ask you why did you post??????????? But..... I did not start the off topic attack, I defended myself from what I saw as a attack on only me in a manner that to me was not on topic, this topic was not "Why does Jeromebinh not stay at his in laws" it was "Places to stay in HCMC" so before you ask people to not be so hypocritical you need to do the same. Jerome

Scott, I honestly have no real clue what is going on when it comes to money here, Binh knows what it costs and before I could even figure out what is going on she usually has it paid for or she is asking me for a amount, and when they return with change I have no clue as to how much we were supposed to get. Last trip we bought 2 cartons of Cigs for my mom and she did not pay attention to the amount and as we were in a different market she realized she had been cheated and just as we started to talk about it the vendor caught up with us and gave us correct change. I think I might be naive at times, but things like this make me like staying in smaller hotels than the bigger ones. Yes sometimes they might be roach motels or have bad service, but most of the time they seem to have great service and are willing to go the extra mile in hopes that the next time we come that we will stay with them again. The first trip I stayed in a really nice hotel, great room and good service, but it was not very personal service. The second trip we stayed in a family run hotel off the beaten path and the service was more personal, they would talk with Binh and ask what we did that day and so on. I felt better also knowing that the money was probably going to a person that needed it mope than a richer person. Jerome

I am sorry I don't have the authority to tell people which post is on topic or not like you do the overlord... I was just comment on this conversation which has been interesting and a fun read from the beginning and it keeps on giving.. This whole thread is just so entertaining I just wanted to join in on the fun a little. Awesome jeromebinh, you are just too awesome.

It's the way of life in Vietnam to pay everyone off if you want to get things done. They tell you 3 weeks but 3 weeks turns into a month then a month turns into two. When my uncle went to the doctor for an operation in Vietnam his family had to pay under the table money to the doctor so that they would be careful with him. It's just the norm in that corrupt country. Communism is awesome isn't it.
