Elim,
Great feedback from the ground here! Loving it here! I'm really impressed by what I'm learning about Vietnam and Saigon in particular and I'm really considering it as a place to be based for a while.

I just put a very basic profile on Vietnam Cupid and the talent is pretty decent with some good looking girls. I'm getting some good interest from there!

I assume the talent to be much higher on the ground in the clubs, bars and everywhere, right?

By all means, post those links to that other site you're referring to as well as the podcast on Vietnam!

Cheers!

Quote:Is it ok for me to mention another website in the forum? There's one with a pretty decent article on Vietnam, and also a podcast. The 2 guys had little issue pulling from bars. I think the girls understood what was up. It doesn't mean they won't fall in love with you. They seemed pretty happy to hang out for a night (or day or 2) as long as you pay for food and send them away with a dress you paid a whole $8 for. Life is cheap here, so it's all good.

remember to avoid it during Ramadan tho (July), the place totally shuts down, everyone goes to bali

Full disclosure: Personally, I am not all too fond of Saigon. (Withholding judgment on the rest of Vietnam.) It was interesting to live there for awhile, and it took more than 3 months for me to really decide how I feel about it. It does get a little better on the ground, but like Corroncho said, most of the best talent is probably bought and paid for. If you like what you see on Vietnam Cupid, then you should be happy here. If you like hotter girls, you might be disappointed about the quantity, and you may find them to be not worth the trouble. The women in the 25+ age group are a bit more pleasant. The young hotties might dump you first.

Thanks for your feedback Elim, very appreciated man!
I'm very seriously considering Vietnam as a place to set up shop this winter, possibly more to get work done.

I'd love to get on a Skye call with guys who are currently living in Vietnam or have lived there to pick your brains on living in Vietnam.

Thanks guys.

Hey all, i'll be in Saigon on Aug ~3rd for a few days, and again on the 21st-25th or so, which would make it my 6th time there haha. Made out w/ my 20-y.o. masseuse last round and cannot wait to see her again. VP I'll send you a PM soon
Now in Chicago for a couple weeks; it is a horrid, horrid scene compared to the sexually-charged atmosphere of SGN

Cyclone,
I can imagine man! It's brutal being back in North America from Asia or South America or EE!
The guys who have not been there and are only contend with what's there have no idea what they're missing on!!!

Looking forward to your pm man! Do you go usually to Vietnam for fun or biz?

Post: #84

I might actually be back for a few days or weeks within the next month or 2.

Vacancier, are you in Saigon right now? If not, when are you arriving?

Post: #85

Elim,
I'm planning to arrive there by November. Are you going to be there then?

Post: #86

Im going to be in Vietnam for probably a month in a couple weeks. Chose it over the phillipines hope it was a good choice.

I will be enjoying the beautiful Autumn weather back home! In December I'll wish I were in Vietnam enjoying a few months of great weather.

You will be there for awhile? I might get there this month, but I'm not sure.

Is business ever finished? Doesn't seem like it. I might get back to Saigon, too, but come to Jakarta if you have to choose! Seems my guy just bailed on me.

I'll be here at least 2 months, possibly more.

Man, these girls all have lives. That sounds like a weird complaint, but I'm having trouble scheduling the daytime dates during the week. In the philz it was easy to schedule 3-4 dates a day. But here in Saigon, everyone seems to actually have a career, so they get off work at like 5pm. So I can schedule one date per night, plus dates on the weekend, but I'm having trouble getting girls to meet me during the day on weekdays, which is definitely slowing down my flow.

Post: #93

So go out and meet them at Starbucks, schedule 2 dates in a night, and try mornings.

Vietnam Cupid (500 total people online right now), is this the right site?

Testing pipelining as my friend and I just decided the next trip we take will be to VN mostly due to $. He speaks a moderate amount of Chinese and is Chinese born.

He's been to China multiple times already (never gaming) and it costs more I am guessing so VN is the winner. Too bad he doesn't like dark-skinned Asians I really wanted to hit Jakarta!

I'll be in Saigon by this time next year. Not exactly going for women (well...they're at the bottom of my priority list). It seems to be the best destination in SEA to bootstrap an internet business. And the visa situation there is much better than Thailand's. I'd honestly rather live in BKK but I'm not going to deal with leaving the country every couple of months.

Even better than the phils?

From my understanding is that Saigon has a big entrepreneurs community, fast and reliable internet, cheap living costs.

Read this:

This will give you a great overview of why Saigon is turning to be such a happening start up and bootstrapping hub.

If you're looking to crack in with other Westerners and network, I'd seek out 'The Word' magazine. It's a monthly publication that reads very similar to a 'Time Out' magazine that profiles Vietnam, specifically HCMC and Hanoi. It's actually a really high quality production that will be your Bible to bars, restaurants, cultural events, travel, and networking events each month within Vietnam. Anyone who is anyone from The West living in Vietnam reads the magazine.
