Used computer/audio stuff in HCMC by Japantovietnam

Hi everyone, So I just signed the lease on a new apartment yesterday and can finally start re-building my media stronghold. However, in my time in Japan, I got used to being to find cheap used quality electronics. I realize that this is may be a ...

Huynh Thuc Khang street has a place that sells some racks and in D10 there is a road called Nguyen Kim I think that has loads of stuff. It's all off-brand but I bought a couple of Microlab speakers/subwoofer for like 500,000 and they sound great! Read More

Any anime fans? by NinaVamp

I'm a fan of anime, manga, video games, Japanese stuff in general and am looking for °µÍø½ûÇøs with similar interests. I know it is big here in Vietnam but sadly I do not speak Vietnamese yet to converse with locals. :( I'm pretty much a fan of nerdy ...

Fernando

I'm in Ho Chi Minh City and, yeah, I'm at least cordially acquainted with some of the anime fandom here. Actually, it's pretty amazing how so many of these young people are near-fluent in English. I would be open to meeting up. Read More

Came into Tan Son Nhat airport in Saigon for my upcoming wedding and before I came, I searched the net, as well as the Canada and USA official govt websites, and all indicate u can bring $7000 max without declare. so i decide bring $7000 even. Now ...

Fernando

Feeling lucky. I brought a crapton of electronics/camera gear and had well above the limit of VND in my pockets at the time. The official asked no questions and let me on my way. Guess it helped that I arrived well past midnight. Read More

Fernando

Oh god. That happening to such a beautiful bird like a macaw would traumatize me. To be honest, I'm wanting to get those birds partially just to help me cope with some stress of daily living so yes, I don't want to have these birdies just belly-up ... Read More

Interviews of °µÍø½ûÇøs in Vietnam by Veedushi

Hello everyone. We are working on a series of interviews which will feature in the Interview section of the website. We are looking for testimonies of °µÍø½ûÇøriates living in Vietnam, interested in sharing their experience. This would help future ...

Fernando

Agreed. In practice, despite the various posters announcing state anniversaries, public service advisories and such done in the genuinely neat style of Socialist Realism, the country is in practice far more capitalistic than the big Western powers. ... Read More

Does what it says on the box. I know, I was stupid, but if anyone can give me some advice on what to do, that'd be great.

Yeah I wound up having the lock changed for 450,000. Got this funky screwdriver key now, haha! Read More

Local market for toys by janin

Hi friends Where is the market where locals (may be a wholesale market) shop for buying toys and normal sports goods like badminton rackets. Some toys are very expensive in supermarkets and I guess their price would be lil less in a local market. ...

Fernando

Lots of toy shops scattered around. Nguyen Van Cu has a pretty sizable shop off of Tran Hung Dao just before the bridge. Read More

Study Japanese? by darago01

Hello all, I met someone recently who would like to study Japanese. Does anyone know of someone who could give private lessons? I browsed real quick in the classified section, but it's mainly for learning English :/ Any suggestions would be ...

Fernando

This isn't a very good forum to get in touch with the Japanese °µÍø½ûÇø scene, given that few venture into the Anglo-net-o-phere. If you want to talk online, best to google in Japanese (I haven't yet bothered to look for blogs of Japanese in VN). It's ... Read More

New business idea by ancientpathos

RENT AN EXPAT, yes it is that simple. No more posting needs friends to hang out with. Want to practice English, rent an °µÍø½ûÇø. Need to dress up your social events? We have the answer, Rent an °µÍø½ûÇø. Yes we will be having 2 for Tuesdays....lol

Fernando

To be fair, I've been in this country for nearly five months and still haven't made that many connections. Compare to the other island nation in my name where it seemed the every other day I was meeting new people. Granted, I've become far more ... Read More

Vietnamese narrow-mindedness about food by ChrisFox

Not stereotyping here, I have some friends, including a few on here, who love to try new things and appreciate even wholly western cuisine. But I've known a lot of Vietnamese who won't even try Chinese food that isn't already part of Vietnamese ...

Fernando

I can't speak about the pool of people you hang with, but mine are all for anything foreign, including Japanese and Korean food. It's all anecdotal here anyways and I'm a pretty fussy eater so I can't say I don't sympathize a bit. Read More
