Happened to me here. Luckily my uncle is a politician and I was able to show the connection on Facebook and they let me go. I'm back in the states now.
Yeah the first three or four bánh mì I had in Vietnam were totally mediocre and boring, so I get you and I don't think you sound salty, but the delicious ones are here. You may just need some help finding them, as I did.
90% of Banh Mi stalls are just there to make the cheapest possible sandwich for people to stuff their face in on their break or on the way to work. There are a lot that actually make them to be delicious but if you were just going to random places that say "Banh Mi" you're probs gonna get something really cheap.
This is something I hear al lot about Vietnam. >the Viet food in so cal is better
And I don't even think its that the stuff caters to white people since pho is mostly found in immigrant neighborhoods but that they use better ingredients and don't israelite you as much on the quality.

Okay, you like thots. Cool. There are women women in this country I find a lot more attractive than the vapid looking tards you're posting but you do you.
I've been on several dates with a Vietnamese woman who works for the government but won't tell me what she does. Because of the nature of her work she doesn't want to talk about it is what she said. Wtf does this mean bros?
bahn mi homiez who think it is a big deal and exotic to eat a subway sandwich are crazy. >yum, a delicious small baguette with warm meet and shredded vegetable
I hate seeing happy people who I don't think deserve to be happy. I deserve to be happy but I'm not, so it makes me seethe at them, and at God. Frick you for asking this question.
Felt that for a long time that mindset is like kicking yourself in the balls it’s backwards thinking
Change what you dislike get out of your comfort zone and actually enjoy life it’s what you make of it

>Is the very low return rate (10%) justified for VN? Can you really see everything this country has to offer in just one trip?
not everyone is going for the completionist 100% explorer achievement
if someone isn't willing to get into motorbike culture (at minimum as a passenger), then 'everything' isn't happening anyways. vietnam is motorbike culture and it's a steep learning culture for total noobs, which many whiteoids are.
there are really only a handful of totally normie friendly points in the country right?
1. ha long bay
2. sapa
3. cu chi tunnels
4. 1 or 2 museums
5. Throw in one visit to a central vietnam town
6. saigon itself. really not a TON of variety, unless you live here and are cool with slight variations on the same overall routine e.g .going to coffee shop #7933 instead of coffee shop #4545
7. hanoi itself. same deal with saigon; I guess you can go see a lake or two
I could see this being a satisfying sampler platter for most normie travelers.
There's a ton of low hanging fruit missing: ninh binh, ha giang loop, mekong delta and a LOT of more esoteric material left out, such as strawberry farm in the highland of moc chau, staying in a stilt house in the mountains, an old prison in son la, some cable car rides, etc, but some of those involve big chunks of time invested in rural vietnam to reach and engage with
>HCMC was so bad that I was supposed to stay for 2 weeks but left on the third day cuz I had had enough.
You're a soft, privileged white boy who can't handle the weather. Lol. Just wait until you see how the typical Vietnamese live in their 50 square feet "studio" room.

is spot on. If you can't ride a bike, you are going to have a very bad time in all cities in Vietnam. Renting a bike is very cheap (less than $10/24 hours) and allows you to explore the city/country at your own pace. I pity all the tourists who walk from place to place. At least call a taxi via Grab or Xanh SM (for EV cars), but then, the costs add up quickly.
>At least call a taxi via Grab or Xanh SM (for EV cars), but then, the costs add up quickly.
I'd say they add up slowly. I took a 60 cent motorbike taxi today.
I get what you mean though. your own bike gives you a known flat rate and no budget anxiety
If your that willing to do it why don’t just use a knife or a gun
Jump from a roof
Dude get out enjoy life do something you like or haven’t done yet
I don’t want to sugarcoat it life is though but there is a lot to enjoy out there
Because the drugs would be less painful, genius. Anyway I've been enjoying my time in SEA but I don't have enough money to just keep jerking off and I'm a fricking loser with a fricking loser resume and, in the balance of things, the bad in my life will always overwhelmingly outweigh the good. Might as well just go out at the end of one of the few nice times I've had. I can't go back home. It would be like returning to prison.
>in the balance of things, the bad in my life will always overwhelmingly outweigh the good. Might as well just go out at the end of one of the few nice times I've had.
stop talking about killing yourself and start thinking how you can change the world like a kamikaze bomber. suicide is for b***hes. you will never dine in the halls of valhalla unless you go out fighting the enemy.
just finished a trip there, and didn't like it much. I went to Turkey, Georgia, Vietnam, and Thailand. I spent a month or more in each place.
I think Vietnam is for budget travelers who like adventurous things like motorcycling or camping. Cities like HCMC suck in almost everyway in comparison to Bangkok. I think Hoi An will grow in popularity steadily and if I went back I'd probably just stay at a cheap place in Da Nang and go to Hoi An and Hue often. I'd even go again just for Dalat and Nha Trang but all the North to South or vice versa stuff is just annoying to me.
yes, three strategies:
1: moving outside of saigon/hanoi/danang to teach in a small town/provincial capital
2: dating a local girl
3: drinking in bia hoi/local spots and trying to talk with people every chance you get
it'll be extremely discouraging and seem impossible for the first 3-6 months and then things will click and you'll start to hear tones and decipher words and sentences. i still remember the first sentence i understood. i was walking to the park by pham ngu lao and saw a large pile of hats, outside a hat store by ben thanh market. i was standing next to a young couple and the girl said, >o troi oi, non nhieu qua!
which translates roughly to >holy shit, that's a lot of hats
as far as learning vocabulary goes, i'd say the best strategy is allowing your brain to spread out organically, i mean make an effort to study a few new vocabulary words a week- i used to write flash cards and stick them to my mirror to see when i brushed my teeth in the morning, and try to use them throughout the day, noting pronunciation when i heard local people say them back to me. some will stick and some won't, that's okay, don't force it too hard. you'll find that your brain naturally falls into patterns or routines- challenge yourself to break out of those patterns and say things in different ways, pick up different grammatical structures if possible.
but honestly for the first couple months just being able to order coffee, ask for the bathroom, ask people their name and tell them yours etc is a huge win.
tones are a huge b***h but practice makes perfect , or not perfect but better bit by bit, day by day
again- getting outside the foreigner bubble and preferably living outside it is the single best way to learn. i went from absolute beginner to beginner living in bien hoa for a teaching job for a few months, and then about 2 years later i lived in quang ngai for 6 months and that bumped me to intermediate. you'll pick up an accent too which people seem to like.
NTA but are there any particular books or resources you would recommend for someone outside of VN? I plan to move there in the future but want a good grasp of the language before I go
Bro, I was tired of asking ppl the same question "Where should I go to? Which one is better?"
So I decided to go and see and decide it myself. So far, I've been to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang (Laos), Ho Chi Minh and DaLat. I will give you my honest review:
>Thailand
Best one hands down. It is exotic, it is cheap, it has good food, internet is fast, it is a bit chaotic but there's still good public transport to get around the cities.
>Laos
As cheap as Thailand but with way less infrastructure. More nature. Food starts to get a bit weird but you can still find the good ol'combo sticky rice + bbq beef/pork/chicken anywhere. Getting around is a pain in the ass, roads are terrible. However, it is very laidback and I spent 20 days in Luang Prabang just chilling by the river and eating very good cheap food.
>Vietnam
I hate it here so much. HCMC is a shithole, dirt and littered. Food is the same shit over and over, not that much variety, it is more expensive than Laos and Thailand. Few people speak english, restaurants dont have english menu and you will often wonder what the hell are you going to eat, cuz you're starving. People drive like crazy monkeys and they wont stop honking their shitty scooters/cars/bus. It is pure chaos.
It is like a bad combo of Thailand and Laos. It doesn't have the same nature as Laos and it is not as developed as Thailand. Just skip it altogether, you wont be missing much.
>In Vietnam, a cheap Banh Mi costs 40k dong (1,60 euro) and Pho starts at 60k dong (2,40 euros)
These are not correct prices.
Let me guess, you didn't leave the tourist areas of Saigon.
i heard the vietnamese girls are better than the thai tho, better faces, better bodies, better minds. more genuinely interested in handsome foreigners. dont be ugly
They are definitely hotter.
Brighter skin, and the pig nose types are less common in Vietnam.
IQ is also higher. I'm in HCMC and you also don't see old boomers walking around with young girls.
Same guy.
Just wanted to add that even Viet city girls appear very conservative compared to white girls [nearly all want to get married, have children, are family oriented] I talked to some and had funny conversations like with the one that told me:
"Trans women are not real woman"
Hit a nerve?
It shouldn't be controversial to say you can judge the state of a culture or people by their actions. You don't see taiwanese girls run around with unkempt Australian boomers at all because it's a developed culture.
well yeah thai chicks are often part khmer and look like lil flips, who, I would say are generally not perceived as good looking. Vietnamese women probably tend to be slightly taller, have fairer skin, are less likely to be ran thru by tourists and are more likely to be women.
Not just Vietnam, white begpackers are doing it across Asia.
Viet zoomers know white people are degenerate sexpat or begpackers.
Just be white worked in early 2000s.
2020s Vietnamese zoomers like South Koreans more.
I never knew this was a thing.
So they go to a country where the cost of living is a fraction of what it is in their homeland, and they fricking spend their time begging on the streets, thinking their company is worth food and shelter?
How delusional are these people?
>gotta buddy who says vietnam is still superior for both cooming
saigon has $17 top tier blowjobs available all day.
seriously the best head I've ever experienced in my life has been right in saigon
>Why does Saigon have better head game than Hanoi?
maybe hanoi is good too. tell us about it?
from what I can tell, p2p is way more active in the south overall
>Big places like Long Chau have most stuff, just avoid the "family" looking pharmacies.
I would have expected the opposite. Seems like the family joint would be more motivated to make an illicit buck.
Hello thread, việt guy here
I visit Lotte West Lake today and oh boy, everywhere was PACKING with people. Traffic jam non stop. Going out on nation day is such a pain aaaaaaaah.
Anyway that's my short blog today. How are you fellow việtnamese and expats are doing? Don't tell me you guys just sit at home all days shitposting on this website? lol
I've been on several dates with a Vietnamese woman who works for the government but won't tell me what she does. Because of the nature of her work she doesn't want to talk about it is what she said. Wtf does this mean bros?
Why would she be so secretive though? I couldn't get anything out of her at all and I had the impression maybe it was something political that she assumed I wouldn't like? She was very weird about it.
Not 100% but of she's a member of the people's committee or works for them shed just tell you since it's a huge badge of honour. I reckon she just has a really vague job, my friend "works for the government" and it took me 5 years to get out of him that he liaisons with trucking companies to get them to use the safest roads and compromising with them to get them to avoid using small streets

No it isn't a bait or provoking anything like that. I was just wondering why the hate on white women in general? I date one and I don't think they are that bad to be honest.
Don't listen to the other morons. It really depends on where you are, there are roads where everyone gives way to pedestrians and there are others where nobody will stop. Just ask the Viet qts or bros to help you across until you figure it out there are some basic rules >Walk with your hand up in the air if you're really worried >Maintain a slow pace and do not stop walking suddenly unless you're about to get hit by something >Maintain eye contact and eyeball the shit out of people that are driving in your direction >If you step backwards or jump back you're gonna have a bad time >Never try to run
Can't think of any others but yeah it really depends, the super congested slow traffic looks terrifying but it's actually really safe. Nobody wants to hit a whiteoid and have to pay some ridiculous medical bills.
Use vehicles as cover, walking behind their bumper across the lane as traffic flows at a walking pace or slower. Watch people who work in traffic, see how they behave. Walking behind a moving car applies at intersections with stop signs as well. Walk behind the first car in line as it creeps forward waiting to enter traffic, not ahead of it. General SighSee advice, not Vietnam specific.
Can fat homies lay pipe here? I'm tall and white, just kind of fat (not >40 BMI hamplanet-tier though). I heard Vietnamese chicks prefer either dadbods or straight muscle and only the kpop teens really go for the slim femboy types.
A fat wallet gets you farther than a pretty face here. People generally don't care about body.
>people don't care about fat
Fricking lol. Of course they do. I knew some big boys who came here and couldn't get matches aside from hookers. They got matches in Thailand though. Viet girls have higher standards than most of SEA.
Who knows. Mine arrived in 3 days, a friend who was flying the same month had to reschedule because they took almost two weeks to process hers. It's a lottery. Might be tomorrow, might be you're fricked.
The visa system here is kinda stressful like that, yeah. Next time, if there's a next time, just allow more time, obviously, but hopefully they get to it today. Fingers crossed for you.
Hey guys, gays at /jpn/ didn't help me, so I am going to Vietnam instead.
I really need to frick off during christmas from my homosexual family. Is Hanoi ok to go in December?
How the frick do.ulu guys in Hanoi deal with Hanoians. I don't know if it's just the ones here in hcm or what but half of them are like a /misc/ meme of the most obnoxious asian. >Noisy >Always screaming and shouting furiously for no reason >Doing old fashioned asian stuff like coughing, spitting and picking their nose in public >Massive drunks >Fairly racist towards anyone who isn't from there special part of Vietnam
Are the Hanoians in Hanoi all like that or do only the shitty ones because the southoids and centroids look like polite Scandinavians when you compare them to the Hanoians here, a whole city of them would.br insane.
I only half believe you are Hanoian but anyway, most Hanoians are total bros but God damn some of you guys are like the incarnation of every negative stereotype of the whole world combined.

No I'm việt and that's my french teacher whom I dating now. >I just want to know how to get a nice French gf
Ehhhhh I don't know. It depends on the situation and luck. I'm not sure my advice can really work for you to be honest.
Teaching english illegally. Drink street food and watch the train tracks. Riding around in a scooter. Think of mundane, boring things in your mind... that's what white people like.
Viets really need to get their xenophobia in order. For every one white EFL teacher or digital nomad there are 10 Nigerian and Eritrean gangsters coming in. Before it was just the men but now they are bringing their whole families along too. There are whole new "luxury" apartment complexes full of Africans ruff rider motherfrickers who have their wives door knocking on the other apartment doors begging Viet housewives for money while the husbands just stand around outside doing nothing all day. At this rate it'll be 10 years before they have Japan tier control over organized crime in your country.
Nah, African drug dealers never taken their families on business so these people are here to stay. They're coming here as apart of a refugee program, the major political players in the west are scrambling to sort their refugee situation out before elections so they've made a deal with the Viet government to house them in the thousands of apartments that lie on the outskirts of the city. It makes a lot of sense since just about every western leader has made their rounds through Vietnam very recently and they received a shitload of economic development money and probably had to take a bunch a stream of refugees as apart of the deal. This is the same thing they planned for Cambodia in the mid 2000s before all the deals fell through and the Chinese started to dominate their economy and foreign policy.
Damn is Vietnam that bad? I've been in some shit holes in central America and the middle east so I can't imagine it to be worse than what I've experienced.
Vietnam influencers and vloggers are the absolute worst. There's absolutely zero creativity and they just go to the exact same spots and talk about the same stuff while eating the same 4 foods everyone has talked about 1000 times already. The only guy I find somewhat interesting just drives around random parts of the city talking about the area >"Now we're turning onto x street, if you take another left which I'm not gonna do there's a real good grilled seafood restaurant, they were pretty cool and had a bunch of cats there and one time one of the cats got stuck between the walls and they had to break the wall, I think the cat's name was Micky or something like that"
It's pretty basic but he shows some interesting parts of the city nobody ever goes too.
>We go to a MARKET and try to haggle >Restaurant staff piss, shit and cum all the floor after I flawlessly say "Xin Chao" >We are getting a heckin Banh Mi today guys >I go to walking street and do some walking up and down the street >Here's how you can live in Vietnam for 200 dollars a month >I tried Pho and it was pretty good >We are all getting deported this time for real
There you go, that's 99% percent of all the Vietnam content you'll ever see online.
that's for low life tiktok
Koreans make some good Vietnam trips with more varied activities, though we can all agree that it all boils down to good food first and foremost
Spending 14 total days in Vietnam, planning on spending the bulk of it in HCMC. 5 days in Da nang or Hanoi? Would rather not do both so I'm not moving around so much.
I'd recommend Đà Nẵng / Hội An since you said you didn't want to move around too much. 5 days is plenty to explore around.
Bros what work can I do in Vietnam other than teach English? I'm about to fail the CELTA because I can't into research and writing and shit, but I would rather kill myself here than go back home to the wage cage.
Are you good looking? You can be a model. Although I'm not too sure about the model salary...
Other than that, if you have no particular skill, it's hard to get other jobs in vietnam.

I'm not a techgay so how can I do this? I don't care about making a lot of money by Western standards. I just don't want to go back. I'm honestly desperate enough not to go back to kill myself if I can't find an answer. I've seen the world outside my prison and I can't return to it now.
>I'm not a techgay so how can I do this?
Become low level tech gay. Nobody wants to be a tester, hence why this position is always open. Especially if you are willing to work for low money, by the western standards ofc
How much do they pay and what are the prereqs to get hired? Please tell me more. I'm desperate.
If may I ask, where are you from? How did you even managed to come here? It would be really hard for foreigners to get a job here since most jobs are taken by vietnamese (cheap pays).
You sound like a native english speaker to me, so your best bet is to become a english teacher. There's no shame in this. Just teach kids if you have no experience. Although I think they will pay you really low if you have no certificate.
I'm a burger. I came here by plane like everybody else. I have a car back in the burgerland that I'm trying to sell (should be able to get about $20k I hope) and that will keep me going while I figure things out. I'm thinking about either trying CELTA again in a longer, less intensive version of the class where I have the time I need to bang my head against the wall on these assignments (this is how I finished my meme liberal arts degree - it was excruciating but I did it) or maybe just get a lower level TEFL. I think I can git gud at the classroom but I can't figure out the organization and planning. I think I have some learning disorders that were never diagnosed and addressed that frick me up on this kind of stuff because it isn't lack of time and effort.
Ah okay. Well I have to go to work now. I'll respond to you maybe midnight ok? (around 12 AM when I'm done showering)
I think you'll be fine. Just hang in there.

They have immense pride in their cooking and everyone wants to be an influencer (Freelance Marketer). Instead of stockpiling junk like Americans do, it’s easier to have a meal. Market is more fluid and opportunity based than showcasing towns or landscapes
Eating consumes three parts of your day. Delicious food is like a dollar here so I don't blame firsties for coming here just to eat. Soon they will have to return to their shithole and pay 15 dollars for pho.,

Going next year to visit my in-laws. The more I learn about Vietnamese language and culture the more hyper aware and strategic in word choice it seems to be.

Yeah the first three or four bánh mì I had in Vietnam were totally mediocre and boring, so I get you and I don't think you sound salty, but the delicious ones are here. You may just need some help finding them, as I did.
90% of Banh Mi stalls are just there to make the cheapest possible sandwich for people to stuff their face in on their break or on the way to work. There are a lot that actually make them to be delicious but if you were just going to random places that say "Banh Mi" you're probs gonna get something really cheap.

Go to the non cheap food stand. Get a 40K VND Banh Mi, it will taste much better.
Best I had was in Khe Sanh, we got 4 of them for 30K
This is something I hear al lot about Vietnam.
>the Viet food in so cal is better
And I don't even think its that the stuff caters to white people since pho is mostly found in immigrant neighborhoods but that they use better ingredients and don't israelite you as much on the quality.
Fug I'll be really disappointed if I visit Vietnam and the pho I used to get in North Africa (Berlin) ends up better
Good morning, I hate Nigerians.
from Niger or Nigeria?
>He said Australia has also made representations on behalf of 73-year-old Chau Van Kham, a Vietnamese-Australian man sentenced in 2019 to 12 years in prison by a Vietnam court that had found him guilty of “terrorism” charges.
>“That’s a different case. We were after an international prisoner transfer and we’re hopeful in that case. But we’ll continue to work on those issues,” he said.
>Albanese, who said he wants Vietnam to become one of Australia’s “top-tier” partners, signed a raft of agreements during his visit to Hanoi, including a 105 million Australian dollar ($69.4m) package to help Vietnam decarbonise its economy.
Western nations will literally give you 50 million USD to set terrorists free.
The man is ugly as frick and got someone at his level.
That baby looks like he already knows his parents are losers.
Okay, you like thots. Cool. There are women women in this country I find a lot more attractive than the vapid looking tards you're posting but you do you.
And no I'm not talking about these ones.
What are good date ideas in Hanoi other than dinner? There's a lovely 50yo Việt lady I've already been out with twice and I don't want to seem boring.
Take her to the gun range.
Not that anon but how much would it cost to frick around with some guns?
I've been on several dates with a Vietnamese woman who works for the government but won't tell me what she does. Because of the nature of her work she doesn't want to talk about it is what she said. Wtf does this mean bros?
No.
I'm sincerely looking for love fwiw, not cooming, and don't want to give the wrong impression.
bahn mi homiez who think it is a big deal and exotic to eat a subway sandwich are crazy.
>yum, a delicious small baguette with warm meet and shredded vegetable
You don't have a favorite sandwich you get excited to eat?
He a uncultured homosexual probably from the US
Greetings from Antwerpen and my gf is viet their sandwiches are bomb
Viet ladyboys are underrated IMHO
Where can I meet them in Hanoi?
they look happy, what's your point?
I hate seeing happy people who I don't think deserve to be happy. I deserve to be happy but I'm not, so it makes me seethe at them, and at God. Frick you for asking this question.
>I deserve to be happy but I'm not
Why aren't you happy, anon?
People with hate in their hearts don't deserve to be happy. I hope you remain single for as long as you're bitter.
kys troony
Felt that for a long time that mindset is like kicking yourself in the balls it’s backwards thinking
Change what you dislike get out of your comfort zone and actually enjoy life it’s what you make of it
What have you done to contribute to the happiness of others?
Was just thinking the same. Good for them.
>The red light districts.
I want love, not a hooker.
>Your average street.
I don't see trannies on the street here and if I did, I don't know how to talk to strangers on the street.
>Or just use face book.
How can Facebook help? I barely even see trannies on actual dating apps here.
Please help bros, I need a troony gf in Hanoi
Is the very low return rate (10%) justified for VN? Can you really see everything this country has to offer in just one trip?
>Is the very low return rate (10%) justified for VN? Can you really see everything this country has to offer in just one trip?
not everyone is going for the completionist 100% explorer achievement
if someone isn't willing to get into motorbike culture (at minimum as a passenger), then 'everything' isn't happening anyways. vietnam is motorbike culture and it's a steep learning culture for total noobs, which many whiteoids are.
there are really only a handful of totally normie friendly points in the country right?
1. ha long bay
2. sapa
3. cu chi tunnels
4. 1 or 2 museums
5. Throw in one visit to a central vietnam town
6. saigon itself. really not a TON of variety, unless you live here and are cool with slight variations on the same overall routine e.g .going to coffee shop #7933 instead of coffee shop #4545
7. hanoi itself. same deal with saigon; I guess you can go see a lake or two
I could see this being a satisfying sampler platter for most normie travelers.
There's a ton of low hanging fruit missing: ninh binh, ha giang loop, mekong delta and a LOT of more esoteric material left out, such as strawberry farm in the highland of moc chau, staying in a stilt house in the mountains, an old prison in son la, some cable car rides, etc, but some of those involve big chunks of time invested in rural vietnam to reach and engage with
Absolutely justified. I'm here right now, first time and this place is just a shithole worse than all the other SEA countries combined.
HCMC was so bad that I was supposed to stay for 2 weeks but left on the third day cuz I had had enough.
Now I'm in Da Lat, it is WAY less worse than HCMC but it is still the same shit nonetheless.
Food average, fricking Pho or Bahn Mi for breakfast, terrible traffic, nobody speaks english. Frick this shit. I'm never coming back.
>HCMC was so bad that I was supposed to stay for 2 weeks but left on the third day cuz I had had enough.
You're a soft, privileged white boy who can't handle the weather. Lol. Just wait until you see how the typical Vietnamese live in their 50 square feet "studio" room.
I had such a similar experience. Frick HCMC. Dalat is nice though. Just start ordering your food on grab, I hated going out and getting food.
>I hated going out
>SighSee - Travel
Grab is for bike taxis.
not exclusively
Yes anon, I know, but it's the only thing you should be using it for
Lol poorgay.
Have fun breathing those fumes directly.
Lol richgay. Have fun vacationing in this cheap shithole that you hate so much you don't even want to leave your hotel.
>Now I'm in Da Lat,
>nobody speaks english
I've never seen a more American post
Vietnamese here. This dude
is spot on. If you can't ride a bike, you are going to have a very bad time in all cities in Vietnam. Renting a bike is very cheap (less than $10/24 hours) and allows you to explore the city/country at your own pace. I pity all the tourists who walk from place to place. At least call a taxi via Grab or Xanh SM (for EV cars), but then, the costs add up quickly.
>At least call a taxi via Grab or Xanh SM (for EV cars), but then, the costs add up quickly.
I'd say they add up slowly. I took a 60 cent motorbike taxi today.
I get what you mean though. your own bike gives you a known flat rate and no budget anxiety
Are there any good suicide drugs like barbiturates or something that I can get from a Vietnamese pharmacy?
If your that willing to do it why don’t just use a knife or a gun
Jump from a roof
Dude get out enjoy life do something you like or haven’t done yet
I don’t want to sugarcoat it life is though but there is a lot to enjoy out there
Because the drugs would be less painful, genius. Anyway I've been enjoying my time in SEA but I don't have enough money to just keep jerking off and I'm a fricking loser with a fricking loser resume and, in the balance of things, the bad in my life will always overwhelmingly outweigh the good. Might as well just go out at the end of one of the few nice times I've had. I can't go back home. It would be like returning to prison.
Dude literally just stop being a homosexual and those feelings go away. Imagine what's it like in actual prison, be glad your not in there
You have the means to travel, your life is better than most, yet you're still acting like a homosexual
Anybody whose life is worse than mine should have killed themselves already.
Dude your thinking like a woman
Please don't have a nice day. I'm việt and I've seen desperate foreigners end their lives here. Don't be like this.
Why does it bother you?
He's probably the janitor that has to clean it up and he's a lazy motherfricker
That would be a legitimate reason to care I guess.
>in the balance of things, the bad in my life will always overwhelmingly outweigh the good. Might as well just go out at the end of one of the few nice times I've had.
stop talking about killing yourself and start thinking how you can change the world like a kamikaze bomber. suicide is for b***hes. you will never dine in the halls of valhalla unless you go out fighting the enemy.
>change the world like a kamikaze bomber
>things that never happened
What other work can I do in Vietnam besides TEFL if I only have a meme bachelor's degree?
just finished a trip there, and didn't like it much. I went to Turkey, Georgia, Vietnam, and Thailand. I spent a month or more in each place.
I think Vietnam is for budget travelers who like adventurous things like motorcycling or camping. Cities like HCMC suck in almost everyway in comparison to Bangkok. I think Hoi An will grow in popularity steadily and if I went back I'd probably just stay at a cheap place in Da Nang and go to Hoi An and Hue often. I'd even go again just for Dalat and Nha Trang but all the North to South or vice versa stuff is just annoying to me.
What do you think about Thanh Hoa city?
Let me guess. Your gf is from Thanh Hóa?
Why are there so many indians in vietnam?
Has anybody here learned any Vietnamese? How did you do it?
Gf is trying to give me the basics it’s hard for someone from the EU
Since I only speak English,German and Spanish
Why is it hard? it's all latin alphabet, some aren't different from German's umlauts in terms of pronunciation
Well I was talking about Vietnamese and the only problem I have is pronunciation
Other then that it’s a okay just very different from EU languages
yes, three strategies:
1: moving outside of saigon/hanoi/danang to teach in a small town/provincial capital
2: dating a local girl
3: drinking in bia hoi/local spots and trying to talk with people every chance you get
it'll be extremely discouraging and seem impossible for the first 3-6 months and then things will click and you'll start to hear tones and decipher words and sentences. i still remember the first sentence i understood. i was walking to the park by pham ngu lao and saw a large pile of hats, outside a hat store by ben thanh market. i was standing next to a young couple and the girl said,
>o troi oi, non nhieu qua!
which translates roughly to
>holy shit, that's a lot of hats
as far as learning vocabulary goes, i'd say the best strategy is allowing your brain to spread out organically, i mean make an effort to study a few new vocabulary words a week- i used to write flash cards and stick them to my mirror to see when i brushed my teeth in the morning, and try to use them throughout the day, noting pronunciation when i heard local people say them back to me. some will stick and some won't, that's okay, don't force it too hard. you'll find that your brain naturally falls into patterns or routines- challenge yourself to break out of those patterns and say things in different ways, pick up different grammatical structures if possible.
but honestly for the first couple months just being able to order coffee, ask for the bathroom, ask people their name and tell them yours etc is a huge win.
tones are a huge b***h but practice makes perfect , or not perfect but better bit by bit, day by day
again- getting outside the foreigner bubble and preferably living outside it is the single best way to learn. i went from absolute beginner to beginner living in bien hoa for a teaching job for a few months, and then about 2 years later i lived in quang ngai for 6 months and that bumped me to intermediate. you'll pick up an accent too which people seem to like.
hi bro how much you getting paid per month teaching english full time?
500 bucks
NTA but are there any particular books or resources you would recommend for someone outside of VN? I plan to move there in the future but want a good grasp of the language before I go
I'm torn between Thailand and Vietnam.
This thread makes Vietnam sound like a shithole, but maybe you guys just want to keep morons away.
>I'm torn
Visit both but if you're a SighSee newbie, visit Thailand first. It's easier to navigate in a lot of ways.
Bro, I was tired of asking ppl the same question "Where should I go to? Which one is better?"
So I decided to go and see and decide it myself. So far, I've been to Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Luang Prabang (Laos), Ho Chi Minh and DaLat. I will give you my honest review:
>Thailand
Best one hands down. It is exotic, it is cheap, it has good food, internet is fast, it is a bit chaotic but there's still good public transport to get around the cities.
>Laos
As cheap as Thailand but with way less infrastructure. More nature. Food starts to get a bit weird but you can still find the good ol'combo sticky rice + bbq beef/pork/chicken anywhere. Getting around is a pain in the ass, roads are terrible. However, it is very laidback and I spent 20 days in Luang Prabang just chilling by the river and eating very good cheap food.
>Vietnam
I hate it here so much. HCMC is a shithole, dirt and littered. Food is the same shit over and over, not that much variety, it is more expensive than Laos and Thailand. Few people speak english, restaurants dont have english menu and you will often wonder what the hell are you going to eat, cuz you're starving. People drive like crazy monkeys and they wont stop honking their shitty scooters/cars/bus. It is pure chaos.
It is like a bad combo of Thailand and Laos. It doesn't have the same nature as Laos and it is not as developed as Thailand. Just skip it altogether, you wont be missing much.
>Vietnam is more expensive than Thailand
>Vietnam doesn't have good nature
You've never been to Vietnam, have you?
Frick you if you even dare to say Vietnam is cheaper than Thailand.
In Thailand I could get a proper meal of rice, soup and pork for 40 baht (1,1 euro).
In Vietnam, a cheap Banh Mi costs 40k dong (1,60 euro) and Pho starts at 60k dong (2,40 euros)
>In Vietnam, a cheap Banh Mi costs 40k dong (1,60 euro) and Pho starts at 60k dong (2,40 euros)
These are not correct prices.
Let me guess, you didn't leave the tourist areas of Saigon.
he's the local schitzoid that comes into every Vietnam thread to shitpost. Not sure why he is so butthurt about such an inconsequential country.
cheaper than this you're eating Banh Mi fried in gutter oil, homosexual
Did you coom in Laos?
There are some really cute locals serving as waitress in their family restaurant and loads of western chicks traveling in groups.
But I'm married, so no cooming for me ;/
ok but where would you rather coom?
Thailand or Philippines just because they speak english way more than the other countries.
i heard the vietnamese girls are better than the thai tho, better faces, better bodies, better minds. more genuinely interested in handsome foreigners. dont be ugly
Personal preference of course but in this case I agree that they're hotter. No idea about genuine interest.
They are definitely hotter.
Brighter skin, and the pig nose types are less common in Vietnam.
IQ is also higher. I'm in HCMC and you also don't see old boomers walking around with young girls.
Same guy.
Just wanted to add that even Viet city girls appear very conservative compared to white girls [nearly all want to get married, have children, are family oriented] I talked to some and had funny conversations like with the one that told me:
"Trans women are not real woman"
>you also don't see old boomers walking around with young girls
Why would this bother me, or you? Is this our business?
It only tells me that you can't simply 'buy' a lady in Vietnam as easily as in Thailand or the Philippines.
Hit a nerve?
It shouldn't be controversial to say you can judge the state of a culture or people by their actions. You don't see taiwanese girls run around with unkempt Australian boomers at all because it's a developed culture.
>Hit a nerve?
I imagine this face every time I read this line.
I hope that makes you feel better.
It doesn't just make me feel better. It makes me feel superior.
It is a sign of higher IQ people of you see less prostitutes roaming around.
indeed
this is why portland oregon is such a cesspool of moronation. More drugs, prostitutes, trans and other morons than anywhere else now.
I'm high IQ myself but I have low self-esteem so I like being around morons because it allows me to feel smugly superior.
well yeah thai chicks are often part khmer and look like lil flips, who, I would say are generally not perceived as good looking. Vietnamese women probably tend to be slightly taller, have fairer skin, are less likely to be ran thru by tourists and are more likely to be women.
>more genuinely interested in handsome foreigners
Unfortunately they now know white "foreigners" are begpackers and sexpats.
gosh, I despise begpackers so much. They should be thrown in jail to avail "free food/accommodation"
Not just Vietnam, white begpackers are doing it across Asia.
Viet zoomers know white people are degenerate sexpat or begpackers.
Just be white worked in early 2000s.
2020s Vietnamese zoomers like South Koreans more.
I never knew this was a thing.
So they go to a country where the cost of living is a fraction of what it is in their homeland, and they fricking spend their time begging on the streets, thinking their company is worth food and shelter?
How delusional are these people?

>COVID

I want to burn a few vacation days in Vietnam.
I don't speak, listen, nor read Vietnamese, and I haven't travelled in SEA.
I just want to enjoy Vietnamese food, go to a spa, and enjoy a jazz club.
Is there a reason why I shouldn't consider Da Nang (compared to Hanoi or HCMC)
i gotta buddy who says vietnam is still superior for both cooming and waifu finding as a tall white man. except maybe taiwan for waifus.
>gotta buddy who says vietnam is still superior for both cooming
saigon has $17 top tier blowjobs available all day.
seriously the best head I've ever experienced in my life has been right in saigon
Why does Saigon have better head game than Hanoi?
>Why does Saigon have better head game than Hanoi?
maybe hanoi is good too. tell us about it?
from what I can tell, p2p is way more active in the south overall
I have no idea. I've literally never fricked a hooker before.
I thought the girls were pretty in VN but I am far too autistic for cooming
How can you be too autistic for cooming?
Guys...
Why are there so many white Chads and Staceys in HCMC?
>Why are there so many white Chads and Staceys in HCMC?
HCMC is mostly Russian and Indian tourists.
What the frick does this even say in English?
means he is too ugly, broke and uncultured for vietpussy
Why didn't you just say so?
I have taught the Viet girl I'm banging to say "based" and she thinks we all say it IRL now because her English sucks so why would she know better?
Hey bros any pointers for buying benzos in Vietnam without a prescription?
Based.
Will somebody please help me out here? Where do I get benzos here?
Go to pharmacy and ask for diazapam. Big places like Long Chau have most stuff, just avoid the "family" looking pharmacies.
>Big places like Long Chau have most stuff, just avoid the "family" looking pharmacies.
I would have expected the opposite. Seems like the family joint would be more motivated to make an illicit buck.
I meant family not as in family run but family orientated like Pharmacity
I went to three earlier. The first two said no and the third said how much do you want?
Can I get benzos from Vietnamese pharmacies without a prescription?
yeh
What about barbiturates?
Me taking my française gf somewhere outskirt of hanoi.
Dunno why western guys keep dissing "white women bad". My gf is nice, even better than my ex việt.

Pfffffffffffff okay bro. Whatever you say.

lmao bull shit.
it's true ought. they can look good if they're middle class and take care of themselves.
why is he pulling his fingertips in?

Yes. Picrel, mid 30s woman with her husband.

Hello thread, việt guy here
I visit Lotte West Lake today and oh boy, everywhere was PACKING with people. Traffic jam non stop. Going out on nation day is such a pain aaaaaaaah.
Anyway that's my short blog today. How are you fellow việtnamese and expats are doing? Don't tell me you guys just sit at home all days shitposting on this website? lol
Answer this please fren
Half the country works in the government. There are just lots of benign administrative jobs especially for women.
Why would she be so secretive though? I couldn't get anything out of her at all and I had the impression maybe it was something political that she assumed I wouldn't like? She was very weird about it.
Not 100% but of she's a member of the people's committee or works for them shed just tell you since it's a huge badge of honour. I reckon she just has a really vague job, my friend "works for the government" and it took me 5 years to get out of him that he liaisons with trucking companies to get them to use the safest roads and compromising with them to get them to avoid using small streets
She really seemed like there was a specific reason to avoid talking about it but yeah, I guess there's no way you'd know. Thanks for answering.
Oh yeah she can't travel outside the country without permission from the boss, if that helps. Sounds political and sensitive but yeah who knows.
I'm sitting at home all day doing work. I'm only shitposting when I need a break. I don't have time to have fun this weekend sadly.
This is unrelated. But are you "proprio" from /fr/ general?
No, I don't even know that general. France?
Yeah sorry I mistaken you haha.
Tonight the weather is cool in hanoi. Autumn is coming.
I wanna book a hotel tomorrow. My home internet is shit and I have a VERY important online meeting tomorrow. How frick am I on hotel prices? Should I wait till Monday?
My hotel in Hoàn Kiếm went from 340k to 500k but they gave me 400k since I've been staying here a while already.
kek at all the seething responses you got
No it isn't a bait or provoking anything like that. I was just wondering why the hate on white women in general? I date one and I don't think they are that bad to be honest.
>I was just wondering why the hate on white women in general? I date one and I don't think they are that bad to be honest.
White western women are:
1) loud and foul mouth
2) act like one of the "lads"
3) mistaken constantly swearing for "confidence"
4) entitled
5) fat and ages fast
white men move to asia to escape from white women
.
even westernized vietnamese turn to shit.
How do I avoid getting flattened while crossing the road. Should I even bother trying to walk around in HCMC?
Hahahahaha just walk bro don't worry about it hahahahaha
Just play it like a game of chicken.
Just don't be a b***h.
>whiteboi can't even walk
imagine my shock
Don't listen to the other morons. It really depends on where you are, there are roads where everyone gives way to pedestrians and there are others where nobody will stop. Just ask the Viet qts or bros to help you across until you figure it out there are some basic rules
>Walk with your hand up in the air if you're really worried
>Maintain a slow pace and do not stop walking suddenly unless you're about to get hit by something
>Maintain eye contact and eyeball the shit out of people that are driving in your direction
>If you step backwards or jump back you're gonna have a bad time
>Never try to run
Can't think of any others but yeah it really depends, the super congested slow traffic looks terrifying but it's actually really safe. Nobody wants to hit a whiteoid and have to pay some ridiculous medical bills.
Use vehicles as cover, walking behind their bumper across the lane as traffic flows at a walking pace or slower. Watch people who work in traffic, see how they behave. Walking behind a moving car applies at intersections with stop signs as well. Walk behind the first car in line as it creeps forward waiting to enter traffic, not ahead of it. General SighSee advice, not Vietnam specific.
Can fat homies lay pipe here? I'm tall and white, just kind of fat (not >40 BMI hamplanet-tier though). I heard Vietnamese chicks prefer either dadbods or straight muscle and only the kpop teens really go for the slim femboy types.
Shut up fatty.
white piggu spotted. lose some weight you fat sack of shit.
A fat wallet gets you farther than a pretty face here. People generally don't care about body.
>people don't care about fat
Fricking lol. Of course they do. I knew some big boys who came here and couldn't get matches aside from hookers. They got matches in Thailand though. Viet girls have higher standards than most of SEA.
I have this thing where ugly white women turn me on. Its like the ugliness is taboo to like
Are you me?
Are you bi or into trannies as well?
It's over for whites.
I applied to the evisa on Monday, I have the flight on Saturday and the status of the evisa is “still processing”.
How fricked am I ?
Who knows. Mine arrived in 3 days, a friend who was flying the same month had to reschedule because they took almost two weeks to process hers. It's a lottery. Might be tomorrow, might be you're fricked.
Frick. If that’s the case I’ll have to settle with Thailand since I already have the return ticket from Bangkok
Go to http://vietnamvisapro.net/
Or
https://www.myvietnamvisa.com/
The visa system here is kinda stressful like that, yeah. Next time, if there's a next time, just allow more time, obviously, but hopefully they get to it today. Fingers crossed for you.
Saigon, 1992.
Vietnamese women look more SEA monkey back then.
anyone in here did research on buying condos in Ho Chi Minh? especially upcoming areas
I don't think foreigners can own properties in vietnam. Be careful not to get scammed. (t. nguyễn here)
Hey guys, gays at /jpn/ didn't help me, so I am going to Vietnam instead.
I really need to frick off during christmas from my homosexual family. Is Hanoi ok to go in December?
What are you looking for here in hanoi? December is good, it's winter, less hot & humidity.
to see stuff
I was thinking about 3 days in hanoi, 3 days in the capital
Sounds good. Enjoy your trip then.
How the frick do.ulu guys in Hanoi deal with Hanoians. I don't know if it's just the ones here in hcm or what but half of them are like a /misc/ meme of the most obnoxious asian.
>Noisy
>Always screaming and shouting furiously for no reason
>Doing old fashioned asian stuff like coughing, spitting and picking their nose in public
>Massive drunks
>Fairly racist towards anyone who isn't from there special part of Vietnam
Are the Hanoians in Hanoi all like that or do only the shitty ones because the southoids and centroids look like polite Scandinavians when you compare them to the Hanoians here, a whole city of them would.br insane.
Yeah. You describe them perfectly. (t. middle class hanoian)
I never understand what's the appeal of hanoi in foreigners' eyes anyway. Yet they still coming here for some reason.
I only half believe you are Hanoian but anyway, most Hanoians are total bros but God damn some of you guys are like the incarnation of every negative stereotype of the whole world combined.
I'm this guy actually
I don't browse this website that often anymore but I'm happily answer any question you have about hanoi in general. (I do notice this thread have too many weirdos & schizos anyway so I understand you have your doubt)
Cheers I'll hit you up tomorrow because it's late as balls
Chúc ngủ ngon. It's too hot tonight. Fricking hell.
Oh and I may not reply to you during the day because I'm busy. If you want answer, you should expect me to pop around this time midnight. I just got home.
I just want to know how to get a nice French gf. Are you French too? I'm an American but love their petite accent.
No I'm việt and that's my french teacher whom I dating now.
>I just want to know how to get a nice French gf
Ehhhhh I don't know. It depends on the situation and luck. I'm not sure my advice can really work for you to be honest.
>Yet they still coming here for some reason.
Teaching english illegally. Drink street food and watch the train tracks. Riding around in a scooter. Think of mundane, boring things in your mind... that's what white people like.
Viets really need to get their xenophobia in order. For every one white EFL teacher or digital nomad there are 10 Nigerian and Eritrean gangsters coming in. Before it was just the men but now they are bringing their whole families along too. There are whole new "luxury" apartment complexes full of Africans ruff rider motherfrickers who have their wives door knocking on the other apartment doors begging Viet housewives for money while the husbands just stand around outside doing nothing all day. At this rate it'll be 10 years before they have Japan tier control over organized crime in your country.
I've been in Hanoi for a month and I've seen fewer than five black people.
>For every one white EFL teacher or digital nomad there are 10 Nigerian and Eritrean gangsters coming in
Stop trolling, white pigpgu.
It's hard for poor Nigerians to stay in Vietnam long-term. There is barely any Nigerian selling weed near Bui Vien anymore
Meanwhile I've seen tons of white South Africans WADDLE AROUND HANOI with their stinky cheese feet.
Glad they got deported during COVID.
You're right, but go outside the city proper and you will see.
What are the Nigerians doing in Vietnam? Sell drugs?
Nah, African drug dealers never taken their families on business so these people are here to stay. They're coming here as apart of a refugee program, the major political players in the west are scrambling to sort their refugee situation out before elections so they've made a deal with the Viet government to house them in the thousands of apartments that lie on the outskirts of the city. It makes a lot of sense since just about every western leader has made their rounds through Vietnam very recently and they received a shitload of economic development money and probably had to take a bunch a stream of refugees as apart of the deal. This is the same thing they planned for Cambodia in the mid 2000s before all the deals fell through and the Chinese started to dominate their economy and foreign policy.
The Nigerians were never the go to for weed, they're the go to for hard drugs.
Wtf you talking about?
Damn is Vietnam that bad? I've been in some shit holes in central America and the middle east so I can't imagine it to be worse than what I've experienced.
>see videos on the internet about vietnam
>like it pretty much and think about going there
>open this thread
>everybody says its a shithole
uhm??
They're pussies. If you're a pussy too, go to Thailand. It's nice there and I like it and you'll like it too, but Vietnam is for chads.
Vietnam is hard mode.
That's a serious exaggeration.
Influencers and bloggers will sugar coat everything and only show the 1% beautiful part and leave the 99% shithole.
But again, don't take my word for it, just go and see it yourself
Vietnam influencers and vloggers are the absolute worst. There's absolutely zero creativity and they just go to the exact same spots and talk about the same stuff while eating the same 4 foods everyone has talked about 1000 times already. The only guy I find somewhat interesting just drives around random parts of the city talking about the area
>"Now we're turning onto x street, if you take another left which I'm not gonna do there's a real good grilled seafood restaurant, they were pretty cool and had a bunch of cats there and one time one of the cats got stuck between the walls and they had to break the wall, I think the cat's name was Micky or something like that"
It's pretty basic but he shows some interesting parts of the city nobody ever goes too.
>influencers and vloggers
These undesirable subhumans should be gassed.
>We go to a MARKET and try to haggle
>Restaurant staff piss, shit and cum all the floor after I flawlessly say "Xin Chao"
>We are getting a heckin Banh Mi today guys
>I go to walking street and do some walking up and down the street
>Here's how you can live in Vietnam for 200 dollars a month
>I tried Pho and it was pretty good
>We are all getting deported this time for real
There you go, that's 99% percent of all the Vietnam content you'll ever see online.
that's for low life tiktok
Koreans make some good Vietnam trips with more varied activities, though we can all agree that it all boils down to good food first and foremost
try following their itineraries, they are pretty much safe picks
once you are comfortable, plan your own route
Has anyone been to Vinh city? Some of it looks nice from some images but I can find frick all information about it beyond that.
Why do you want to go there?
interested in some places that aren't the typical hanoi, hcmc, hoi an etc.
Eh to be honest, I don't know much about the place either. Why not just visit there and see for yourself?
Spending 14 total days in Vietnam, planning on spending the bulk of it in HCMC. 5 days in Da nang or Hanoi? Would rather not do both so I'm not moving around so much.
I'd recommend Đà Nẵng / Hội An since you said you didn't want to move around too much. 5 days is plenty to explore around.
Are you good looking? You can be a model. Although I'm not too sure about the model salary...
Other than that, if you have no particular skill, it's hard to get other jobs in vietnam.
>Are you good looking?
Not that good looking. Not young enough either.
Then I'm afraid you're out of hope. Good luck.
I need to decide between nin binh or da nang
which one should I go for? da nang seems to be nicer and more stuff to do
There's no comparison. One is a city, the other is a small town with cool ruins and nature.
I like viet women in spirt but they have no boobs. that's a big dealbreaker for me
just pump a baby in 'em, free boob job
Bros what work can I do in Vietnam other than teach English? I'm about to fail the CELTA because I can't into research and writing and shit, but I would rather kill myself here than go back home to the wage cage.
>Bros what work can I do
Ive been thinking about working remotely. But then you dont get to integrate with the society that much
I'm not a techgay so how can I do this? I don't care about making a lot of money by Western standards. I just don't want to go back. I'm honestly desperate enough not to go back to kill myself if I can't find an answer. I've seen the world outside my prison and I can't return to it now.
>I'm not a techgay so how can I do this?
Become low level tech gay. Nobody wants to be a tester, hence why this position is always open. Especially if you are willing to work for low money, by the western standards ofc
How much do they pay and what are the prereqs to get hired? Please tell me more. I'm desperate.
I'm a burger. I came here by plane like everybody else. I have a car back in the burgerland that I'm trying to sell (should be able to get about $20k I hope) and that will keep me going while I figure things out. I'm thinking about either trying CELTA again in a longer, less intensive version of the class where I have the time I need to bang my head against the wall on these assignments (this is how I finished my meme liberal arts degree - it was excruciating but I did it) or maybe just get a lower level TEFL. I think I can git gud at the classroom but I can't figure out the organization and planning. I think I have some learning disorders that were never diagnosed and addressed that frick me up on this kind of stuff because it isn't lack of time and effort.
Ah okay. Well I have to go to work now. I'll respond to you maybe midnight ok? (around 12 AM when I'm done showering)
I think you'll be fine. Just hang in there.
Thanks bro. Are you in Vietnam now?
Yes. I was born and live here my whole life.
Surely life in america can't be that bad? Don't you miss your family, your girlfriend?
>Don't you miss your family
It's been a long time since I lived near them anyway.
>your girlfriend?
I don't have one, or anything else to go back to.
Ầy you wake up early. Are you in hanoi or saigon?
Hear me out fat frick, cuz I'll say this only once. Start a Shopify dropshipping e-comm. There's hundreds of free tutorials online, you don't have to pay shit.
I've quit everything and been traveling the world the past year, been to more than 70 countries, all with a passive income of around 2k euros per month from this Shopify store that took me 1 full day to setup. I had zero prior knowledge before starting.
PIC related. The type of notification I love getting. My profit margin is 80%.
This takes the cake for the most moronic thing I've ever seen on SighSee. Good job
Seems legit.
How come Vietnam has a low tourist rate out of South East Asia? More cuties for me to creampie.
Beats the shit out of me. I don't care what other people do. I go where I want, and I like Vietnam.
Communism
where's flipland on this chart? as high as thailand?
How much it cost you per month for running paid ads?
If may I ask, where are you from? How did you even managed to come here? It would be really hard for foreigners to get a job here since most jobs are taken by vietnamese (cheap pays).
You sound like a native english speaker to me, so your best bet is to become a english teacher. There's no shame in this. Just teach kids if you have no experience. Although I think they will pay you really low if you have no certificate.
Best time of year to go to Phu Quoc?
I heard it can rain for 6 months of the year and at other times the ocean can be full of plastic?
Do you guys think I should book an actual tour for the Mekong delta and cu chi tunnels? The logistics of getting to each place seems shitty tbqh
mekong delta is greatif you never went on a boat trip before, my gf was in awe while I did stuff like this in nepal so for me it was kinda boring
the tunnels were a waste of money tbh. some vietcong tunnels nothing more nothing less meh
You sound unbelievably boring and undoubtedly American.
and you sound gay
>look up vietnam guide on youtube
>every single fricker does nothing more besides eating
Is the country just a big mcdonalds?
They have immense pride in their cooking and everyone wants to be an influencer (Freelance Marketer). Instead of stockpiling junk like Americans do, it’s easier to have a meal. Market is more fluid and opportunity based than showcasing towns or landscapes
I've noticed this too, I love food as much as the next guy but what about things to actually do?
Eating consumes three parts of your day. Delicious food is like a dollar here so I don't blame firsties for coming here just to eat. Soon they will have to return to their shithole and pay 15 dollars for pho.,
What do you want to do? You havent told us shit.
>Is the country just a big mcdonalds?
Yes
is that a problem?
i mean you could go sightseeing, but there's no use preaching to a hungry man
27 fricking years and there are still things for me to learn
i will never be a true vietnamese
Going next year to visit my in-laws. The more I learn about Vietnamese language and culture the more hyper aware and strategic in word choice it seems to be. It’s imo a more complex language and culture than even Japanese. How deep down the rabbit hole have you guys gone, what milestones/barriers did you notice which made being there easier?
?si=QebNvLoe7_7jW_ds
Can’t stop hearing this
>another moronic overproduced american hip hop wannabee shit but in another language that third world idiots eat up
wow so cool
I'm leaving on Friday.
Thus far I only have my first stop, 2 nights in HCM planned. Staying at Silverland.Fricked, I know.

Would this be good?
Ho chi minh -- 3 days

Da nang -- 3 days

I'm doing the same trip next week but heading to Hue for a night before Hanoi
based. please write about it in these generals bro
>went to a karaoke pub (ktv)
>bring a girl back home
>finds out she's 17 the next day. She used her sister's ID to work as a hostess
Frick man. I'm packing as fast as I could. Will I make it to the airport? How fast does the system works in Vietnam? I'm shitting buckets
Did you frick and creampie her? Condom or no?
No condom. but I pulled out
Nice man, good for you. You put your wiener in her tight creamy teen pussy. Your huge wiener bottomed out in her tight pussy. You fricked her good and showed her a good time.
How much did it cost you?
5 million dong for LT
Whoa. She looks very much like the pic, around 80% close.
>5 million dong
why the frick are Vietnamese prostitutes more expensive then european ones?
He got ripped off.
Fricking lol. You didn't frick her, she fricked you.
Bet she has a nice tight teen pussy, hairless.
just in case this isn't a troll, AOC is 16 years in Vietnam
Doesn't mean that a 17 year old is allowed to work there you moron. You can also get in trouble for fricking 17, 16 year olds back home too.
For his sake, I hope that idiot leaves the country or at least move to another town.
Sir, please stay where you are. We are coming for you.
Đà Nẵng? Ktv next to the cafe that always has cute girls taking pictures?
Tomorrow is National day (Ngày Quốc Khánh). I will stay at home all day
go for a massage
>get on tinder
>get plenty of matches
>its literally all prostitutes
I don't want to frick STD ridden prostitutes. Is it even possible to find normal women here?
not on tinder, man's looking for a wife in a prostitutehouse
Should I just go back to The Philippines for a gf then? I heard here was harder but Jesus Christ.
Who is this girl in the OP? Seriously.
You mean it's not your sister?
Is it a bad time to visit Vietnam or Laos or Cambodia. In September, October, November, December.
Basically outside of summer.
I know its nearer to the equater so it shouldn't be too cold, hows the weather in Autumn?
Is saigon really worth to see?
Yea 😉
It has the war museum and the post office. Nothing else.
can you avoid riding moto and avoid city smog while living on the outskirts of a major city in VN, and still bang cuties without speaking VN? Does airbnb work there? HCMC vs Hanoi?
>can I be a massive pussy and still get laid
I dunno man, I'm not in your predicament. Maybe somebody else can help you.
Is it possible to get someone deported that really, really shouldn't be in this country?
Story time homie.
