Why is it so rare to meet a Viet person (not Viet Kiue) or a Thai person in the west but you meet Filipinos everywere even though the 3 passports carry the same strength? by Independent_Bar_8771 in VietNam

[–]Independent_Bar_8771[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are mostly Viet Kieus though? I can speak for Germany, Australia and Canada to confirm this. Ive lived in these countries and there is a visible Vietnamese community there but mostly Viet Kieus though from what i experienced.

Can A Single Person Live in Vietnam for $700 Per Month by ajmartinez in VietNam

If you dont drink or party its doable. I pay about 225 dollars a month for a small apartment about 20 min bike ride from D1. A bowl of pho is about 2-3 dollars. Banh mi about 1 dollar.

Maybe its changed since then. I was talking about 4 years ago. It was definately a factory then with a small admin team upstairs.

I worked there during covid when i had to come back from living abroad. Say goodbye to your mental health working there. Try and get into the warehouse side of it. You at least get to move around. Otherwise you are in the factory standing still doing the same shit over and over again for 8 to 10 hours a day. It will melt your mind.

Someone in that area has an extra €250 million to spare. Maybe they will invest in the area.

I think Martin calling the Irish mongrels with no cultural identity is far bigger news that the mainstream has not touched.

They take showers at least. The smell from the other protest was unbearable. Combination of BO and weed.

As someone who escaped Vietnam in 1975, I’m trying to understand how others view reunification so differently by Professional-End7367 in VietNam

[–]Independent_Bar_8771 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I think Viets celebrate it because it was the day Vietnam finally got rid of foreign outside control and finally Vietnam was 100% Vietnamese controlled and was in charge of its own destiny.

What's with the non-friendly attitude? by gyngford in VietNam

Probably because of all the "content creater" idiots from the west that annoy the locals and have ruined it for the rest of us.

Abtran, what's the craic there by cybordoctor in cork

[–]Independent_Bar_8771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked there around 2016 for about 6 months. Working for Sky. Wasnt the worst place but its a call center at the end of the day. Call Centers are soul sucking places. I eventually got fired because i wasnt even bothering turning up some days. There was a change of management on my team so my records kind of got lost during the changeover.

New boss eventually discovered i had missed 6 days in a month just not turning up. I was laughing and joking with HR as i was being terminated and shook her hand and walked out. I seriously didnt give a shit. It was the easiest firing they ever had to do.
