Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I get what u mean but dont u think 1st time visit them empty handed not so nice?

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Up to individual,when i first go my wife house,i dont try to impress her mom partly because of my few years experience with vietnamese ppl and culture before i know my wife and i know i need to 'protect' myself first.

The word cautious is always on my mind whenever i deal with them but after few years with my wife and her family,this word is gone for them from the way they treat me till now

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

can i do a simple poll.. like how many members' marriage were registered in SG or VN, or both? :o

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I not say u go empty handed but dont let them think like u are a cai sheng ye to them,can buy fruits or other products instead of giving money.

They will still be happy and if u still in Sg,go mustafa buy those chocolate and give to them as gift cos they will like product from sillypore:D

But up to u lah,if u want give red packet,then u give loh,i just make my suggestion only cos u really very new of vietnam scene,so maybe guide u a bit:D:D

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Thanks & understood...im lazy to buy gift therefore i thought of give them $100 :)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I forget to state what I bought. 2 cartons of Heineken, a bottle of Double Black JW and a big bag of ice. :D After a few drinks it was easy to communicate with the old relatives and parents :D

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

Anyway what i share is my own thinking and experience,different bro will have different view and handling.

I not say mine is correct and u must follow cos i have few years of bad experience with vietnamese ppl before i know my wife.

I just want to highlight to u is the most important is the girl u marry.Not all in law or family is bad and will always ask money from their daughter foreign boyfriend or husband

My in law have never ask from me a single cents from my 6 years of marriage with my wife.

Every chinese new year,whether i got go visit her or not,i will always give her $500 SGD as red packet but this only start after my 2 years of marriage

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
