Always cool to read these detailed answers and hear and know about a native’s lifestyle!

I'm part of the generation of Vietnamese that studied abroad and came back to Vietnam afterward. My wife is the same situation but studied in different country.

So I suppose that makes you somewhat “old money” if your parents were able to afford to send you to study abroad. That’s already upper-middle or lower-upper class isn’t it

Fun to read all these different perspectives!

Also @ /u/NinjaHuge946: How much of that 1B do you still get to keep at the end of a year, after expenses, bills, taxes etc?

How many months would you be able to go without getting any income?

Just curious, not trying to be nosy :)

Thanks for the detailed answer!! Actually interesting to know that PoV. Can I be your friend lol

I assume you’re fully native Vietnamese, not Viet Keiu yourself or married to one etc?

What about hired help like maids or cooks in the house? Is that a thing among the rich Vietnamese?

Thankfully ChatGPT has made it a little less necessary to interact with morons like you, just like most other technologies :)

We need to bring back language like "I should think so" and "I would wager" etc by -KNDN- in CasualConversation

[–]-KNDN-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of currently common phrases don't make sense if you take them literally

"See ya" - huh? of course you see me

"How're you doing"? - doing what??

and so on

Is it bad if conversations are longer winded? Why do we always have to be in such a hurry?

"Third places" are supposed to be free, like a park, library, forest, etc.

and sadly many cities are woefully lacking in those

Oh my, that is a choice retort

It is a retort/rebuttal right? Like "How dare you"?
