The eldest sister of my wife migrated to the US around 7 years ago. Her life in US is not easy and she also doesn't earn much. Last year, she came back to Vietnam to visit her relatives. She was like Santa, giving out US$100 to US$200 to each family of her siblings and also gave another US$500 to her parents. 3 days after coming back, she has already spent around US$2500. To cut short, she spent US$12,000 staying in vietnam for 6 weeks. Everyone wants to get some cash out of her. Poor lady. She returned to US as poor lady again. She made a remark that she cannot come back Vietnam for another at least 5 years as she needs to save up again.
So you think S$2000 is Big Amount of money to the province vietnamese?  |
