I tried Nem Nuong in Nha Trang I loved it so wanted to recreate as authentically as I could in the UK :)

Saw someone posted this image on Facebook of an aftermath of a burnt down plastic water tank. Nobody knows how it caught on fire or managed to burn for so long. Nobody got hurt so it is just quite ironic that it caught fire

Just a stupid repost
Repost, ok ae?

Guys we ate this last night at the Train Café, it's a chicken skewers and it's so good.

I tried to look at the name again of the menu but I forgot the vietnamese name on this chicken skewers cuz in Indonesia we have many type of skewers so I wanted to be more specific just in case vietnam has more than 1 type of recipe cuz this is so good.

It's so tender and juicy omg pls 😭

How common is it for landlords to hijack electricity meters in Vietnam?

I rented an apartment in Da Nang last month.

I'm alone, I don't cook, and I only use the AC to sleep. Today (28 days later), I went to check the meter and it's 500 kWh more than last month...

This is much beyond normal. The previous month I was in Thailand in a same-size room, and I used the AC ALMOST 24/7, and my final reading was 350 kWh.

The difference between the two rooms is only that Thailand didn't have a fridge or washing machine, but none of these explain a 200 kWh difference.

I feel like the meter in Vietnam is counting double, or maybe there is other stuff connected to my meter...

Does anyone have a similar experience?

Is there a way to verify it?

Just got engaged and looking to plan for a wedding in 2028 in Vietnam! For anyone who planned their destination wedding, any tips tricks??

- What planner did you use?
- General tips from your experience would be helpful!!

Hi, just wanting to get some understanding of Vietnamese child rearing practises from other Viet parents. I live in Australia.

I've been nursing my baby very successfully for 5 months, but have been constantly pressured by my mother and grandmother to switch to feeding him formula. Their reasoning is that I must not have enough milk because my son looks slim. This is despite my son growing and thriving just fine, he's just not a super chubby baby.

Just wanted to ask what the Vietnamese perspective on this is - do many Vietnamese prefer formula over breastmilk? Is formula advertising very aggressive in Vietnam? It makes me pretty angry but I want to understand the reason behind why they're so concerned.

Hello, I saw this movie a few years ago, I know that is going to tell the story about the war in a way USSA doesn't appear as guilty but I want the genuine opinion of the Vietnamese people

This is my game city-angle. You have to guess 1 city with 5 given angles. the version with only vietnamese citys is in the categorys. Have fun! https://visitwhale.com/city-angle/

As a non-Vietnamese,neighbours of Vietnam uses their own alphabet and most of the Far East countries has their own​​ alphabet system but why Vietnam uses Latin?

Hello everyone,

I am planning a Trip to Viet Nam this autumn and would like to do a Ha Giang Loop 4D/3N Tour. The options are by bike with Easy Rider or a guided tour by car. From what I read, the motorbike is usually recommended.

However, I am very tall (205cm/ 6‘8“) with around 100kg. Would motorbike Even be feasible for me or would I regret the decision? How is the car tour compared to the one with motorbikes? Did anyone have experience with the topic?

Thank you in advance

Edit: Mixed up some words

Does anyone know where to get a large quantity of Vietnamese yogurt in HCMC? Could be locally made or the pre-packaged stuff. I tried the Vinamilk but the texture is off (not as silky). TIA!

I am lowkey freaking out because although I managed to make it Dubai and through immigration (I have a long layover due to delays) I am travelling again tomorrow to Ho Chi Minh. Although I have a TRC (resident card) I’m scared the immigration peeps won’t let me through because these read stamps bled out. Wdyt?

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m going to be in HCMC for about 4–5 days next month and I’m planning on bringing my wedding dress with me to have it altered/tailored while I’m there.

I’ve heard alterations can be much more affordable and have a quicker turnaround compared to Australia.

Has anyone had their wedding dress altered in HCMC before? I’d love any recommendations for a good tailor or bridal alterations specialist you’ve personally used and trusted. 💕👰🏻‍♀️

Thank you!

We have seen a lot of posts from teachers and digital nomads. I’m wondering how much the foreign executives make in Vietnam. Maybe you were recruited internationally… and now you’re an executive director or a diplomat or a senior C suite executive of some kind. How much do you make in USD?

Halo,

I will be having a 10 hour stop over in Vietnam. And I was wondering if anyone knew any locations where to get good or 1:1 reps. I would to make the most of the stop over. I’m already in the rep community, so I know Vietnam is a very good place. I just want to know good locations

Thank youuu in advance!!

Hi everyone! I have a small question regarding a possible business opportunity in Vietnam.

I've been traveling around Asia for a while now, and I've been thinking about trying to build something here. To be completely honest, I don't have much business experience I'm basically a beginner but I'm very motivated to learn and give it a serious try.

I also have a friend who lives here, and the idea would potentially be to partner with him, which could hopefully make some of the administrative and practical aspects easier to manage.

I've had a few different ideas. One of them would be importing products from China and reselling them in Vietnam through platforms like Shopee, TikTok, and Facebook. My idea would be to start with small quantities and test different products before investing too much money.

I also have some knowledge and experience in sports and fitness, so I've considered working as a freelance coach, either in a gym or doing street workout/personal training.

Another idea would be starting a scooter or camera rental business, although I understand that this would require a bigger initial investment.

I know some of these ideas might sound naive to people with more experience, but I'd really appreciate constructive advice rather than discouragement. Living in Asia has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I'm not expecting to make $10,000 per month. Honestly, if I could eventually generate around $1,000 per month and build a sustainable lifestyle, I would already be very happy.

So I'd love to hear your thoughts, advice, experiences, or even completely different business ideas that could be worth exploring in Vietnam.

Thanks a lot! 🙏
