I think key criteria are necessary, if one consider living in Vn:

- ability to communicate (in local dialects/tieng viet)
- able to move about (driving or riding motor, not bicycle!) - distance & landscape kills the desire to cycle
- patience (alluding to the need to adjust to local pace & under table $)
- ability to do something (e.g. business, teaching, volunteering, learning)
- have reserves (e.g. $, sperms, stamina)
- have friends & support (e.g. local groups, gathering, good internet access)
- have personal time (instead of doing chores for the local relatives non-stop!)

mmm...how does this compare staying in M'sia? Thailand? Indonesia? Somehow it might be 'better' (relatively speaking) at M'sia..due to the similarity with Sg.

The most important I feel is patience and tolerance which I learnt from my stay there.

yes, the VISA done can be used for any entry point in VN, but i will think its better for you to find an agent in Hanoi to do for you. I paid US$100 for the VISA last time, not sure what's the price now.

Yes, you are right bro. We need to show lots of patience and tolerance as their way of dealing with matters and their way of life is very much different from ours. Even the attitude of the people are very much different. As foreigners in their country, we should adapt ourselves to them. No matter how unhappy, try to refrain from showing anger in public. I remember when i first settled down there, i find it very disturbing when i find locals cutting queue at supermarkets cashiers. At first, i was angry. After that, i just let it be as its their way of doing things. I have all the time in the world, so if they want to cut queue, just let them lor.

YEs ...

This happens when I was at the local hospital .... Although there is Number System BUT it DOn'y Works ...

Everybody will go take a number but then the number dun flash 1 by 1, it flashes from 1 number to another number ... so when the number start flash, you see a whole bunch of pple rushing up to the counter ...And best the counter girl serves the person whoever she likes, no sequence.

I also remember when my wife was in her first trimester, she has some bleeding so bring her to the gyne adn then was told to wait ... I F**k the gyne upside saying my wife bled earlier why cannot see her 1st ... her reply : "I saw her when she comes to me and she is currently not bleeding, should be ok. please wait a while, i have a patient in que now, next 2 will be your wife"

Paingzzzz .. F Hot ... everybody staring at me ..

Its nonsense but then it the way of life
