@OceanBeach92107Mmmmm, the air and the space over a country belong to the country.. To think that someone in the middle of nowhere will put an antenna in the roof and communicate with a satellite out of my eyes.... Mmmmm i think it is not as easy as ... Read More
Fake products in VN by Dannyroc3
The subject of fake products is something I run into a lot.My GF swears everything from cosmetics to Hershey bars are fake. I was thinking of buying a Bluetooth speaker. but wonder if they are just copies.When I look on Lazada, for a MArshall BT ...

Does anyone have experience using a bike rather than a Motorbike?I'd like to know how effective they are in a place Like HCMC or congested areas.With all the hassle and expense of getting a motorbike, why don't more people use Bikes to get around?I ...
This will be only my point of view. 1) why don't more peaple uses bicycles?, well, in HCMC obviously the long distances, the temperature and the rain. A light weight bicycle is almost same price than a Motorbike.2) how difficult? First you should be ... Read More

Visa for foreign father by francispatrick
I have a 5 year old daughter living in Vietnam. She has a birthday certificate in my name. I am not with her mother and we were never married. Can I get a family visa
@francispatrick The answer is crude, but true. This is a bout "sponsorship", who will be responsible to care you. Minors obviously cannot. Of course if your child's mother accept to support you, she as the legal tutor can swear and complete the ... Read More
