Hi all, just came back from VN. Was not exactly a vacation but more like a torture camp. Vietnamese culture is really so xxxxxxxx (can't be described) Their people expects alot from foreigners. It is not easy for them to accept a foreigner to be their son-in-law. Just some examples.
1. Her mum complaint that I do not change my clothes often. What she meant was, as a foreigner, I should have a different set of clothes everyday. I had 5 sets for 2 weeks. I guess it was too little. My gf's brother in law had only 2 sets for that 2 weeks but did not get shot.
2. They expect you to turn up at every gathering, no matter it is a family, relatives, friends, classmates gathering. And I really meant EVERY GATHERING. You dont go for 1 gathering and people will talk behind your back. What the fxxk. In the end, I dont even have personal time to shop around for souvenirs for my folks back in Singapore.
Overall, my personal opinion is that it is really not easy to marry a Vietnamese girl. I nearly gave up there but luckily she held on tightly to me and her father was really supportive of us even though her mum did not really agree. But eventually, her mum gave in after seeing how determined her daughter is to be with me. It was a tearful goodbye back to Singapore.
