So, the other evening I went to this bar (probably more like a Bia om/brothel) in Saigon.
Anyway, this incredibly beautiful, young girl sat next to me and, after a game of pool and countless drinks we ended up at my place.
Anyway, I've been seeing her quite a lot since then and I really like her.
Problem is, it's difficult to trust these girls. Although I'm fairly young (29), have an acceptable appearance and a fair amount of money at my disposal, it is always difficult to know what these girl are actually after.

So yesterday evening we had a minor argument because I asked her whether she would stop working in the bar. Obviously, I don't like that. She said yes, but I'd have to pay her USD 1500 a month so that she could support her family.

This kind of annoyed me. Obviously she needs to support her family and the job she's doing at the moment rakes in quite a bit of cash I would imagine. If she were my girlfriend I'd do my best to provide support, but it did somewhat annoy me that she could put an instant price-tag on our relationship.

Anyway, I'll spare you the details.

My problems is that my Vietnamese is basically non-existent and I would like to send her a text message.

Would somebody be so kind and translate this into Vietnamese for me?
I'll be happy to transfer a few bucks to you PayPal account if it's too much of an effort:

This is what I'd like to say:

Kim, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings yesterday. I love your beauty, and if it is realistic to say this after the few days we have known each other, I also think I love you as a person. You are funny, intelligent and as far as I can tell an honest person. I apologise for my mistrust, but maybe you can understand that it is not always easy to trust people in your profession.
I hope we can talk about this again sometime and find a solution. I have paid yesterday's bar fine and will pay it again today if you feel like talking. I really like you Kim and hope this is not the end.

I hate these DVD videos that is produced by this vietnamese entertainment company named Asia Entertainment because all they ever talk about is the vietnam war. All of the songs in the video always talks about a vietnam war soldier who had harships through the war and I don't like listening to it. I'm a 2nd generation vietnamese and I don't care about the vietnam war or communism because the war has been over for 35 years. I just want to live life. I'm also planning to go to vietnam. Vietnam is a great place because it has beautiful girls and a cool place, I don't see why people are still bitter over losing the war. The war has been over for 35 years and people are still bitter over stupid stuff by producing crappy music videos about the vietnam war. I'm 20 years old and I hate this production company's dvds and my parents still buys it. I can't move out because my parents are still legally my parents and if i move out I would lose financial aid for college. I want to live in vietnam because it has beautiful vietnamese girls, you can get a girlfriend in vietnam in like 5 minutes.

My uncle's girlfriend only speaks Vietnamese and he is going to propose to her soon and i want to be able to communicate with her so i need a site that will teach me Vietnamese. i tried bussu and live-mocha and they don't offer it. do you have a site that will teach it to me? I need something inexpensive.

I haven't spoken to my girlfriend in a week and I miss the living life outta her :I She's in Vietnam and has no access to internet/phone!

What's the longest for you? Does it make you miss them more (In a hurtful or good way)?

Hello all,

is it possible for a foriegner to be a tour guide in Vietnam? I am moving to Nha Trang in less than 6 weeks to be with my girlfriend. I have been an english teacher before, but I wouldn't mind trying something new. Now Nha Trang is a big tourist destination - would people use a foriegn tour guide vs. a local?

Now last year I had one local guide who was absolutely wonderful(she was in Chau Doc). She really set the tone for my vietnamese trip and I just absolutely loved (and fell in love) Vn. But sometimes the access to Vietnamese who speak good english isn't readily available, and thats why a foriegner might come in handy. Just wondering peoples opinions. Lets get some discussion going.

Thanks in Advance

Brian

I'm talking about the vietnamese dude who always ask questions about his arranged marriages who claims he can't get a girlfriend on his own so his mom is asking his aunt in vietnam to find him a girl in vietnam to marry him in the united states and live in the united states. This vietnamese guy claims he lives in the united states in the San Jose, California area.
