Touching? by krazeekalvin
This might sound strange to some. Does anyone else have trouble with all the touching the locals do? I get touched all the time, and it is starting to get to me. The women are touching my eyes, because of my eyelashes. Then the men are always ...
Saigon is where my wife and here family is from. They have never been to America. This is why I don't write post on here. Some of the response I get is a joke. Too many keyboard commandos with idiotic comments. I am ex military, tattoos and all, ... Read More

My wife is Vietnamese, and this is not their culture to touch others in this manner. I have had my in laws get onto people for the way they touch me. I have also have my Vietnamese friends make comments to those who have touched me as well. My ... Read More
American Fastfoods In HCMC by Wild_1
Hi Gang, In between Hanoi and Bangkok, I had a couple lay-over hours at the Tan Son Nhat Int'l Airport. So, I stopped by Burger King and had my hands on a long-awaited Whopper. But, man, that was the worst burger I must have tasted in years... ...
I didn't eat at the fast food places that much in the States. However, I do like that fix once in awhile. Specially being over here. Read More

Personally I don't think so, not when I am in my mid 40's. I understand the kids touching me, due to having hairy arms and legs. I have even had them pull up my shirt to check. In my country this is considered very rude, and very bad manners. Now ... Read More

The only burgers that are any good here are at the Hard Rock and the Black Cat in district 1. Carl Jr's back in the States where a favorite of mine. I was not overly impressed with the ones here in Vietnam. Have not tried Burger King here yet. ... Read More
Internet censorship by j.keats
Hi I'm thinking about moving to Vietnam, But I'm worried about how much the internet is censored in Vietnam. What is the experience like for Vietnamese people and what is it like living there as an 暗网禁区. Is it easy for example to visit foreign ...
I get everything here that I could get in America except Facebook. However, if I use the desktop computer here at the house I can still access it at times. I did connect my Facebook account with my Yahoo account and I am able to see some posts from ... Read More
Motorbikes and scooters in Saigon by EmmaTravelling
Hi everyone, I have been told that I should get an automatic bike when I get over there in a few months because I don't have motorcycle riding experience and so navigating the traffic AND learning how to ride / change gears might be a bit too ...
We are putting it in a family members name. I was told the same about the paperwork, and to get them to write a note that gives you permission to ride it. Honda wouldn't let us put it in our names for not being citizens. No biggie. I still feel ... Read More

I have lost touch with him, however if he knew what I was riding, he would never let me live it down. I just can't imagine wanting to drive a car here. What have you found about putting a scooter in your name if your not a citizen? Read More

We went to a place in D-1, and they sent us to D-3. Actually got sent to a few different places. All I know they told me that I could only get a drivers license for a car or scooter, not both, with my drivers license from the states. Don't know ... Read More

When did you get yours done? I am assuming your from England with the A1 and A2? An A1, if I am not mistaken, is for 125cc and lower. The motorcycles license in the States is for any size. They don't do scooter licenses in the U.S.. Except for ... Read More

To get a license you have to have a visa stamp of three months or more. Take your passport with you. You will also have to have your current drivers license translated as well. Take some passport photo's. They will only give you either a license for ... Read More

How do you adjust to the vietnamese people when they keep on staring? by KennyNguyen
Hi I'm a viet also but I live in the U.S. I always go and visit my family and saigon but when I go out with them I come upon staring vietnamese people. I have all the respect and love for vietnam and culture and its people but it makes me feel ...
I am married to a wonderful and beautiful Vietnamese woman. She also laughs how some of the Vietnamese stare. My Mother in law, who now lives in the States, will act like she is poking and pulling their eyes out with her finger if they are rude ... Read More
