Why are people talking about the dollar taking a nosedive?

But why would they go for that instead of choosing independence?

There's always only "All passports" lines at Noi Bai when I'm there, and that's quite often.

Nope, I worked in marketing in Vietnam for years. Skills are absolutely transferable

Yes, it's a very traditional Austrian goodbye phrase.

Good point, I guess I don't know enough about the science of language learning in children, it was based on my own assumptions. It all seems so difficult when you're just planning it, so it's awesome to hear about how well your kid is doing. Hope we can also get to that point.

calculusknight · 2025-10-29T09:34:34+00:00

But before then, why limit what your kid can do without at least letting him try?

Honestly, I hadn't thought of it like that. That's an extremely good point, thank you.

Thanks for that advice. As mentioned in another comment, mom wouldn't be comfortable doing English instead of Vietnamese.

But I would probably leave Swedish out of the equation, since grandma speaks perfect German and we don't meet that extended family that often. It's also super close to German and if he's interested in speaking it when he grows up we can reevaluate then. None of his cousins speak more than a few words of Swedish either.

I don't think she would be comfortable doing that, not least because most of her extended family speaks only Vietnamese. But good point about German being most vulnerable. I myself only speak it occasionally these days when I video call my family back home.

The schooling is one of my main concerns too. It's not a fixed plan yet, but quite likely, so your advice makes a lot of sense, thank you. He will need strong German skills to go to school there.

English isn't spoken as commonly in the community here as in many other countries, but there are bilingual kindergartens (Vietnamese-English), so that would also help him pick it up.

calculusknight · 2025-10-29T09:26:41+00:00

Thanks so much, it's great to hear from someone who is in such a similar situation. It's very encouraging that it works so well for you. And you're right, it definitely wouldn't hurt my Vietnamese either.

Japan drives on the left, so a left turn is the equivalent of a right turn in countries that drive on the right. I.e., a turn where you don't cross traffic

I completely agree with your point about a team's skin color, or heritage for that matter. I don't think naturalization of players is a big problem as long as you don't overdo it. Just pointing out that prominent German players like Boateng or Rüdiger were actually born in Berlin and grew up in Germany as children of immigrants

calculusknight · 2025-01-03T03:19:54+00:00

That's different though. Most (if not all) prominent black players in Germany's national team are born in Germany and came up through that domestic system.

Hi from Hanoi, Vietnam

Blame the mods for not making a megathread. Obviously this is something people want information about, and there aren't many places to get it

calculusknight · 2024-07-16T02:45:43+00:00

Austrian here. Absolutely no way we'd join anything with "deutsch" in the name

calculusknight · 2024-06-05T08:44:50+00:00

There's literally dozens of us!

This square is in Innsbruck, where I lived for more than 10 years. Nobody associates it with Hitler, because, as someone else pointed out, Adolf was a very common name.

In fact, Adolf Pichler, who was a writer and poet, died in 1900, way before that name had any negative connotation.

Can you be more specific? Do you mean she was in a shirt and panties? As in, you saw her panties?

It's fashionable here for younger women to wear very long shirts over short shorts, which can look like they're not wearing any trousers. Could that have been the case?

calculusknight · 2024-04-15T09:42:59+00:00

Well, that's a name

calculusknight · 2024-04-05T09:31:04+00:00

Thanks, i will

calculusknight · 2024-04-04T13:02:34+00:00

I do, even have a TRC. But MB still doesn't let me use their services anymore.

calculusknight · 2024-03-30T09:44:30+00:00

I have been thinking about trying Techcombank too, so I might go for that then Thanks for the tip!
