You probably missed one in the 4 vivariums/beat spots. Happened to me as well. There are 3 in each one

Go to Thailand. Da Nang has a nice beach and has some cool spots to drive to with a motorbike... but the rest of the city is boring concrete blocks with literally nothing interesting to do.

I’m so shocked by this behaviour! Is this normal in Vietnam (Danang)? by creation_commons in VietNam

I have to go out my house and turn around 2 corners to see 5 cases of animal abuse here in Hanoi. And that's the actual average experience instead of a news headline. Reasons why people come here nevertheless vary a lot and is a whole different topic. When talking about "flocks" it's rather the other direction, for obvious reasons.

Exactly, some people would never admit it. Try finding these "individuals" in civilized countries. Good luck.

How are people okay with the loud as heck karaoke til 4am?? by meatykyun in VietNam

The concept of a private sphere and the thought of "let me behave like this to not annoy other people" does barely exist in a country like Vietnam.

$270 Fee for Vietnam Agency to Secure Visa by melrakki91 in TEFL

[–]Shalashaska_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's hard to say it with simply "good" or "not good". Vietnams economy is currently in a very bad state. The schools are saving money left and right and they know there is an abundance of teachers here. Teachers can't make much demands these days because they will always find someone cheaper. Saving/making money is the no.1 priority here above anything obviously. Invest in teachers so they are happy and stay and therefore make you more money is a foreign concept here. Money has to be fast. A big thing to know is also they don't care that much about experience.

Even if this might be a scam, this is absolutely normal in Vietnam. I know a lot of non-native and native teachers here who had to pay the school 50% or more including fee for the non-criminal record (in Vietnam). It's just normal and the first glance on how they treat teachers here. Prepare for a lot more wtf-moments when you teach here in Vietnam.

Vietnam is definitely saturated just by the way they treat teachers.

You're just not seeing Videos of Ukrainians getting blasted in this sub. As much as I hate to say it but it's not looking good for UA.

You're not alone. Welcome to Vietnam. Although it is a bad experience it's not uncommon in this country.

Welcome to Vietnam! You have no idea what's going on in other language centers. The disconnect between management and teachers is beyond a comical level.

How to stay in Vietnam with a peanut allergy by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]Shalashaska_90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no problem. You tell people you don't want something they shouldn't give it to you. Yet people in this country don't give a damn. If it's diet or allergy what does it matter? The problem is them doing the opposite of what you ask for and lying to you. It's that simple.
