This depends a lot.... SG wife works n does contribute a bit to the family.

I asked a lao jiao b4, he mentioned there is no fix for dowry. To send monthly depends on your wife's parents whether they have a decent job or business. If your wife's dad drinks n mum gambles whole day, then confirm needs to send monthly over regularly.

I do agree on the fact that if brothers marry Singapore Gals, they will be able to contribute to family income. So the burden for brothers will not be so heavy. If you marry Viet gals, majority of them cannot work in Singapore as they are tied down by limitations like language, culture, educational level etc. Sending money back to their family monthly is required and often, they will also have special requests. So burden will be heavy.

But besides these monetary issues, the difference in how viet gals and local gals treat their husband is great. So it depends on whether are you prepared to have a heavier burden in exchange for better treatment ? Different brothers have different needs and have different ideas, to each their own

As my wife's province is nearer to TP HCM and one of her relative has 2 buses plying b/w TP HCM and their province. They charged me 2 million VND per bus for return, so total 4 million for transportation.

These are roughly from what i can remember. 2004 is like 5 years ago, very difficult to remember all details.

Her mother initially wanted to hold the dinner in the province. She estimated around 250 tables for the whole village. Each table around 500,000 VND (inclusive of heniken). I almost fainted. That will be like 125 million VND

Wah lau eh! 125 million VND is more than 10k SGD at current exchange rates!

Guys, i have been reading this thread for 1 month and i have yet to read finish - i'm still at page 340.

But i would like to share my experience in VN too.

I actually recently just got back from Hanoi/Hai Phong - it was a free n easy with my friend - a guy.

5Nights free and easy and we have made 6 friends along the trip.

1. Met 1 girl at a Bubble Tea shop in Hai Phong - age 18
2. Met 2 girls at a Billard Club, Hai Phong - age 22 & 23.
3. Met 3 girls in Hanoi in a restaurant, they were siting beside us - age 24

<1> Bubble Tea Girl - 18yo
We saw a 泡泡茶 signboard and decided to try out bubbletea in Vn， but when we entered the shop, their menu were in Vnese - sian diao.... In the mist of looking lost, one of the Vn waitress spoke chinese - decent simple chinese, and we were happy about it. bla bla bla - cut the story short - we asked her if she could bring us around Hai Phong and she said she is not working tomorrow. So she brought us around the whole day - breaksfast,lunch,dinner + sightseeing. From my experience that day, she does not seems as "evil" as what you guys have mentioned here - izzit bcos HCM girls are different from them? We exchanged email and hp with her.

<2>Billard Club girls - 22yo/23yo
On our last day in Hai Phong, we decided to check out the billlard club which we have always been walking past. bla bla bla - cut the story short - we met 2 girls there and they could speak very very simple english words - which we could still make simple communication - not so bad la. After realising that we're here in VN without a guide, they offered to bring us around in Town in their motorbikes and have breaksfast next monday. Jialat, we suppose to leave HaiPhong to Hanoi taking the Bus (40K VN dong) next early morning. But we decided to push back our departure and agreed to meet these 2 lovely girls tml. We keep our valuables back in hotel and brought out min cash - just in case. Well, nothing fearful happened - siting in their bikes was a very interesting experience too, and we had breaksfast at some cafe, which i could see alot of young peeps dinning there too. After they sent us back to our hotel, they asked for our email and hp contact, which we did provide.

<3> Restaurant girls - age 24, 24 & 24.
My Vn guy friend from Hanoi wanted to bring me to a local famous rest for dinner. I met 3 very pretty girls in the restaurant - and i personally fancy one of them - in orange dress. I can't help it but to discreetly look at her. Eventually, i told my Vn friend to order the Strawberry Wine Bottle - about 350K Vn Dong. And told him to bring the bottle to their table and tell the girls that the waiter must have make a mistake and this bottle ought to be for you girls. And walla, they could speak good english, better than my vn guy friend. We started to converse in english and i realised these 3 are educated VN OLs - 3 of them all degree one, working in the finance industry.... After dinner, they told us they had to go for a celebration party in some cafeteria, so we exchanged contacts.

When i came back, i keep thinking about that girl in orange dress. haha, i think i tio KCed liao... LOLx..... It has been 3 weeks, but i have yet to contact them - been controlling myself.

Meanwhile, the 2 billard girls keep sending me emails and even send me a sms to ask why i nv reply them email.. i was like WTF!?!?! Anyway, i reply to them occasionally and have installed Yahoo Messenger to converse with them when i'm online. They keep asking me to go back to Hai Phong.

Ok, i have yet to come across information on VN OLs, but any comments from your seniors - like SingViet, Sha Gua, casannova03, Kang Tao and etc.

I would like to ask a few questions - how much would an avg 24yo graduate earns in Hanoi - i know you guys been mentioned more towards HCM.

I heard it is around 800-100 USD/month?
Izzit advisable to chase this orange-girl
If yes, how should i go about it and what precaution should i have first?

And i must say, i'm very impressed with VN girls - they are mostly fair with nice complexion depsite riding the bike under the hot sun. And most of them have relatively big boobs. Almsot everywhere i go, i see big boobs.. lolx...

Thank you for sharing...

What you have met are non WL which was the main topic of all the con cases and advisable to go after one of these OL...these are decent gals and good spouse material if you developed the relationship properly...propose that you communicate with the gal using technology such as online chat, SMS, phone...and try to arrange to meet up with her accompany you during your stay in Vn...generally Vn gals are very frenly ppl...

A graduate may earn between USD200 to 1000K depends on the type of work they are in...of course they may have alot of other part time jobs to supplement their incomes...

As for boobs, most Vn gals boobs will not be extra huge unless fake because they are not built big compared to other nationalities...you may be able to get cup A to B and rarely C cup...

Above are just my view on Vn gals but I haven't been to Hanoi or Hai Phong so may no be accurate...

A normal 24 yrs old graduate earns about 200-500USD. Take your time to observe her and welcome to Hanoi.
