Em chào anh,

Em là Thảo, sinh viên mới tốt nghiệp trường cao đẳng Tài chính - Hải quan. Chuyên ngành của em là quản trị kinh doanh, thú thật mà nói sau khi ra trường em không biết niềm đam mê thực sự của mình là gì. Đã trải qua một vài công việc kinh doanh trước đây nhưng em nhận ra là mình không hề có duyên với nó. Tiếng anh và du lịch là niềm đam mê bất tận của em, những buổi trò chuyện với người nước ngoài ở công viên, những lần đến câu lạc bộ tiếng anh và những chuyến phượt cùng bạn bè đã giúp em nhận ra điều đó. Muốn đi đến nhiều nơi, muốn gặp gỡ nhiều người, muốn làm những việc mà chỉ có những người trẻ mới có thể làm được!

Em thực sự rất yêu thích công việc này, một hướng dẫn viên du lịch, có thể giới thiệu cho mọi người văn hóa cũng như con người Việt Nam. Em mong rằng công việc này là bước khởi đầu để em thực hiện ước mơ của mình.
Anh có thể liên lạc với em qua: nguyenthingocthao1992@gmail.com
Phone: 0902.992.884
Em xin chân thành cảm ơn!

lol English please.

Hi NguyenThiNgocThao,

Can you please post in English on the the Anglophone forum, for other members to read and participate on the forum.

Thank you,

David.

I appreciate your interest and job.
Please keep it up. Global Tourist will bless you and happy with Vietnamese People.

They need to abolish the ridiculous visa system in vietnam to improve tourism. Otherwise it's great here.

why do u say ridiculous? Is it hard to get visa into VN?
Btw, my email is huongtra2511@gmail.com . Can I join your project?

Ridiculous because firstly you have to o online and get a company (who have never met you} to vouch for you for a visa approval letter. costing at lest $20 upto $70. Then you have to get passport photo's done (even though the rest of the world has discovered computer technology that has your photo on computer after scanning a passport) Then you must pay $45 for under a month $90 I believe for 3 months.To renew one can't simply go to the immigration office, one must get a vietnamese company or person to do it, and you don't even have to leave the country. Yes Vietnam's visa system is about making money pure and simple.Thailand= $0, singapore=$0 both same day and has high tourism   do the math

You are living in Vietnam - what does it matter about other countries - "when in Rome" it is a lot cheaper in Vietnam to live anyway.

Wow! Backpackers are lucky with 'free' tour guides

Hi,
I will be in Ho Chi Minh from 11/12/2013 till 16/12/2013. There are 3 of us. My Muslim friend is bringing along her daughter.
I would like to have a guide to take us around Ho Chi Minh city, probably just go to Cho Lon Market/Chinatown and spend about 1/2 hour there.
I have been to HCM before and I think I got a guide from this site also. This pretty young girl came on a bike and took me to District 5 to look at some materials. Didn't buy anything and spend only 5 min. there. Then it was back to Pham Ngu Lao for a chat at the park. Perfect afternoon well spent. I treated her to a set western burger meal. I will be more generous this time because it is 3 of us and we can now take a taxi.
Hope to hear from you all soon. By the way we stay near Ben Thanh market.
My friend's hotel : Gia Huy Hotel
26 Nguyen An Ninh, Ben

Food is no problem for my Muslim friends because I asked them to pack their food. Then I will accompany the guide to possibly eat at burger joints/Vietnamese food. We should give a small monetary gift for the kindness shown.

When in Rome? really? that is the weakest cliche ever. It's the same as saying when in Auschwitz do as the Germans do. I'm sorry but when I see wrong I try and address it and make change so others don't have to go through the same.

With your accepting of ridiculous systems and treatment you're only fuelling the situation by saying  "2nd rate behaviour is totally fine" rather than "We're coming to Vietnam, spending money, listen to our opinion"

Nah mate, you keep your sit on the fence, being Switzerland way of thinking and I'll keep mine.

Thanks

Hi Mdm Anne,

I suggest you to post an ad in the Tourist guide job offers in Ho Chi Minh City section. You may certainly find one like last time

Wish you all the best,

Priscilla

I sent you a message via mail. Please check it out. By the way, do you have facebook or skype? I want to call you to discuss more, hi

Hi,

I am Vietnamese. Just wondering if you're still looking for volunteers.

Thx

Rebecca

If I can get some money next year I like to come back and visit again.

I agree with the views of marcus. ""We're coming to Vietnam, spending money, listen to our opinion"" .
That's why the event occurred some distinction.
