This is a whole topic I can cover. Two deaths in the last 3 months in Hanoi. At the bars and clubs here you have people sucking on nitrous oxide-filled View attachment 13779View attachment 13780View attachment 13781View attachment 13782View attachment 13783balloons. You see all the young hot sexy Viet girls sucking on them all night. That can cause serious brain damage but they are everywhere. The girl I was with tonight at the bar sucked on 2 full ones.
Have you done N2O flyingillini?
I've had it at the dentist but that's it.

It's really nice! Giving flowers on Valentine's Day or special occasions is not a big hassle for men then.
It is not just on those occasions but all the time, flowers are a huge huge thing. Girls like them for every occasion. Also all the new stores, restaurants etc etc have huge flower set ups at the opening. Here is an example as well as a new street with them

Flower culture, tea culture, KTV culture, massage culture, drinking culture, is something that you really don't understand until you actually live here and see what is going on. 10 years here and it still amazes me.

I have went over that a while back. It is impossible, even if you marry a Viet girl, at the most you get a 5 year visa exemption but still have to exit the country once a year. The only people that can get a Viet passport are Viet citizens that moved to another country and can prove they were born here and have parents of the origin. There are a few exceptions. If I wanted to get Viet citizenship. I would have to change my name to a Viet name and renounce my American citizenship, there is no way I want to do that. That would mean I could never go visit my Dad again. I would be treated just like a Viet person, getting a Visa is very hard to America. I would never renounce my citizenship.

Wow! This is a very strict condition Fly. So in short they don't allow dual citizenship?

I bet the "massage culture" over there is LEGIT. I could care less about a happy ending, I mean yeah, I've paid for them but that's more for the masseuse than me. I know that's how they make their money is tips. Not sure if I enjoy sex or a good back massage more......

Illini what type of banks do you deal with?
Private Banking?
Do you have a wealth manager?

let me know
It is the best part about living here. Of course it ranges but I am spread out between different banks. I get 10% on my money, sometimes banks post 11-12% but haven't seen that in a few years but lots of 9-10.5%. I love getting 10% all day without lifting a finger, there is no FDIC here though, I only use state banks here.

How often do banks fail? Seems like this is a crazy interest rate to keep up long term and survive as a bank.

I guess nothing like FDIC means deposits at their banks aren’t fully guaranteed?
