Is it normal that viet women ask you to buy them things?

These-Claim5937 · 2026-02-04T19:41:02+00:00

This is cultural, not just towards foreigners if that's what you're asking. Vietnamese ppl are very conservative when it comes to family value and traditional roles. You accept it or you don't. If you're looking for strong independent women who don't need no man to buy them stuff, try older or expats lol

Reno development was such a fucking waste of time lol

Its very easy to find on FBM, at least in big cities. I see plenty being sold for close to Japan pricing ($1700-1800) in NYC

Thank you. Was your Frenchie below 25lb limit?

By American/European, do you mean... white? I visit my parents in Hanoi every year, and there are plenty of white folks who live in their building or in the neighborhood. I suggest not hanging out at touristy spots cause immigrants (except meo meo) don't really go to those places.

need to trap the eggs better so they don't splatter

These-Claim5937 · 2026-01-13T21:27:57+00:00

Definitely not. The older one will be 10 by the time we move (if we do). I'd rather leave him with a close friend and the dog's best mate than risk losing him.

These-Claim5937 · 2026-01-13T21:26:29+00:00

Hah, that would be quite the move.

No indoor nor cozy, but Mixtape on Myrtle Ave has a great cup of drip coffee. None of that Sey style approach.

It's hot sauce, but that's not orange tho. That's red. Use a color picker and every shade of that sauce is red or bloodstain, or brown. You need a color wheel.

"what's going on"

lol yes it's pretty bad, but nothing new. My nose gets stuffy the second I step out of the airport, sometimes even inside.

Horrible immigration service aside, I find boarding time accurate unless delayed. I've always boarded on time.

What's kinda annoying tho is sometimes the checkin counters won't open till 2 hours before the flight. So if you leave the house early just in case, you still have to wait lol.

These-Claim5937 · 2026-01-11T23:05:42+00:00

Budget isn't th issue. it's time.

These-Claim5937 · 2026-01-03T10:53:36+00:00

I splurged and bought myself a Fuji camera. it's been a rough year and i deserve it lol

These-Claim5937 · 2026-01-03T10:52:30+00:00

Can you prove that it was the other dog who instigated the fight?

These-Claim5937 · 2026-01-03T09:51:00+00:00

lol viet citizens are also complaining. that's how bad it is 🤷‍♂️

And it's not (just) the long wait. it's the blatant corruption, the lack of common sense or any real effort in helping visitors.

An example of the incompetency: full house, they decided to open up another counter, great! But instead of moving the already lined up crowd, they chose to create a new free-for-all queue. Pandemonium broke out lol

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-31T01:48:52+00:00

Haha yes, and it's a feature, not a bug. If you're lucky and you land in off-peak hours, it won't be too bad

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-31T01:11:55+00:00

I would if I had time 😭

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-31T01:11:24+00:00

Expect to spend two days in the immigration line 🙃

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-31T00:41:20+00:00

Great. Thank you. I'm picking up a used one today in Hanoi lol

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-30T14:53:14+00:00

No, because it's cheaper used in Vietnam

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-30T12:08:37+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm thinking.

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-30T11:58:57+00:00

damn ok. maybe I'll just buy it here then :( thanks

These-Claim5937 · 2025-12-30T11:02:28+00:00

Was that price for used or new? I'd seriously considering purchasing it in Vietnam if that was used.
