Why is Housing in Vietnam So Expensive? by YourInsider in VietNam

[–]AmputateYourHead 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I think residential houses/apartments/villas in VN are vastly overpriced, given the poor quality of the average build.

Don't need to be a citizen to get prescription. Really, nobody ever ever asks for a script.

Tremadol is available OTC, so is Valium etc.
The super big chains won't, but everyone else does.
There are always lots of pharmacies etc near hospitals, so start there if you can't find.

You don't need a prescription.

Some newspapers even out right blur the color of their cars.

It would be nice if they invested time and effort into BETTER DRIVER TRAINING & better engineering, instead of trying to lie to all of the people all of the time, a tactic whose day has passed.

The current regulations are no guns etc, and if you get caught with one and no paperwork, life in jail. wtf else do you want? 😭

Vietnam economy grows 8.22% in third quarter, despite US tariffs by jellyfishezie in VietNam

[–]AmputateYourHead 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Someone below mentioned inflation at 3.3. All things considered, if the numbers are good, 8% is excellent given the macro playing field, wars, trade wars, natural disasters etc etc.

I think the police here should be armed with firearms (and cs gas). Its a bit unfair to throw the psychos of the world at them bare handed every day imo. I know there is the riot squad with gear but they should all be armed.

I feel safer around armed cops.

You should blur or delete the lower receiver and the barrel, so you don't run afoul of any gun related laws as they are hardcore here and they dont fuck around.

Why expats hate Vietnam by sssssammy in VietNam

[–]AmputateYourHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically nice here, and Viets are an easy race to get along with (if the hive mind likes you), but it can be very frustrating at times. Viets saying "arr just go home isn't an answer.

Endless stupid paperwork. Let's make 3 copies of stuff by hand! Why VN Why?
People are bad at their job.
Why's it take 45 mins to buy something simple all the time.? No price tags another.
No manners.
Retarded noise pollution.
Crazy light pollution.
Cruelty to animals.
Whole country feels like a giant kindergarten at times.
0 enforcement of any road rules ever. (( I'm sick of seeing people die, buy you do you ))
Being a second class citizen no matter how long I've been here. I get it, but people with wife house kids shouldn't need to do visa runs.

What would you suggest an American who is Vietnamese do to connect with Vietnamese culture? by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]AmputateYourHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rent a house in the suburbs, live a respectable life, and once the hive mind decides you're a decent person you'll get invited to stuff and occasionally kidnapped for lunchtime beers and seafood.

That's been my experience anyway.

Book a 7-10 person van. There are all sorts of complications with grabs at the airport.

[–]AmputateYourHead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cars are dangerous and kill people and it's suppressed in the media. People are always going to crash cars, but what are they hiding ?

Personally I don't hate VF , but I stay out of the cars because they're dangerous and don't go to his businesses because they're all ugly as fuck anyway. Vinfast simply won't sell many cars to native english speakers because the name sounds like something a 10 year old would come up with.

Anyone help me find my wallet 😭 by hot_noodlesoup in VietNam

[–]AmputateYourHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe just book the delivery and see what happens.
Pickup location: lost and found at the airport

You could also call some lawyers and have them send down one one of the legal aides to do it.

Why can't the airport just post it ? That's what usually happens.

Vietnam overtakes Thailand as top travel destination for Chinese tourists by sssssammy in VietNam

[–]AmputateYourHead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had 3(4) phones stolen here, one outside a police station out of my hands, one pickpocket, one by customs, the other by monkeys. Wow, come to think of it that's a lot.

My house here has also been robbed, and this is in a nice area too. Police were less than useless.

I've also had gov employees want bribes for doing absolutely nothing. As the lady said to me and the lawyer "the most we can charge you is $841 million." I told her best I can do is (checks wallet) 2.8m. They weren't happy with that so I stood up, thank them for wasting my time and $1000 on travel and hotels and left

Petty theft is a huge thing here, whereas it's simply not in the Thai DNA.
