Good fucking grief.

Of COURSE I can complain about you white dorks, you flood the country with degeneracy.

Thai people complain about poojeets and white sexpats alike, because you're a degenerate eyesore.

It's not about "competition for me", it's about you white dorks being a net negative for society, much like inner city blacks that commit retail theft, white sexpats destroys Vietnam milieu with their drunken debauchery and toxic values (reasons why they ran away from the west)

what's cumbersome about it? evisa is available to jeets

>>2651353
>what's cumbersome about it? evisa is available to jeets

1. If a poojeet wants to open a company in Vietnam, he has to partner up with a Vietnamese person who owns 51% of the company.

2. Preference is given to a local over a foreigner, unless the foreigner is highly skilled. This is by design by the gov. Therefore you don't see 100,000 poojeets coming over for IT work.

3. There is no visa on arrival. A person must apply the visa, get approval before coming. If they want to do a visa run, they must LEAVE the country, re-apply to get the visa, then return.

Luckily for Vietnam, its relatively poor which deters economic migrants like poojeets.
>>
>>2651357
1 and 2 have nothing to do with visa rules and these rules are the same everywhere

3 is wrong, I've done visa runs by applying for a new evisa while being in the country
this is quite irrelevant now since you can stay 90 days on evisa

But its worth repeating:

And now whites are exporting their toxic values abroad.

That's the great thing about a country that actually enforces their borders rules. If you overstay your visa in Vietnam and don't pay the fine you're going to jail. If you overstay your visa in Canada, the US or Europe you get a green card. Absolutely fucking cucked. With Jews, we lose.

Anon if you go to the old quarter in Hanoi you can see jeets everywhere running jeet restaurants. In ho chi Minh if you go to downtown you can also see them everywhere.

>>
>>2652947
Almost all of them are temporary tourists. As countries get richer this happens. 20 years ago mainland Chinese and Russians were uncommon tourists, now they are commonly seen. In the next decade you will see more African and Indian tourists as these are the last places that are still poor as fuck shitholes. Many people want to come visit Vietnam. Vietjet has very cheap flights to India. I took one flight from Hanoi to New Delhi. Literally didn't have a single viet on the plane as no same Vietnamese person wants to visit India. I can only guess how bad the financial drain is on India as any Indian with money wants to gtfo and practically zero foreigners want to visit India.

>my primary concern is just cheapness?
Cambodia is more expensive than both Vietnam and Thailand. Sure you might find an apartment for slightly cheaper rent but the electricity bills are lmao 3x as much and quality-value takes a massive nose dive.

When $200 gets you a prime apartment in Sathon or $150 in Suthep, why even bother trying to save an extra $20 bucks in an impoverished shithole?

your inb4 is literally the answer, perhaps with some variation, but I will expand on it below.

>I've never known how to just approach a chick because she's hot.
for this I'd say approach the situation not (just) because she's hot. that's too much pressure potentially. "just" be a CURIOUS/social/outgoing guy; curiousity highly important. approach it from an angle of learning from and connecting with others in your environment.
could you look up where the pizza place is on Gmaps yourself in isolation? sure, but why not throw out this to a girl as the crosswalk or nearby instead:

"excuse me, do you speak english?
*begin to gauge her reaction* [is it positive/negative/an ignore/bright eyed/etc]

-> in japan if she says no, I just tell her in japanese that japanese is OK and I have a nihongo question.
If you don't know the language, just say sorry/ok. eject; it's ok. easy.

-> if she says yes or "a little bit", you could say "i'm looking to eat lunch and the pizza place is around here, do you know it?"

In PUA terms (don't get bogged down in this), these are situational openers.

A girl leaving the gym the other day, I just made eye contact and asked "did you have a good workout?" -> gauge receptivity -> decide whether or not to continue conversation or just leave it at that.

One key I would say is I never let a woman just take over my mental state if she's a bitch, ignores, brushes me off, etc. You just have to be able to be rock solid no matter what. Go up with good tonality and intonation and know that if she freaks out about it, it's her deficiency/problem if you're just being a guy engaging in (regrettable, but not bad/criminal) male behavior. You gotta be OK "bothering" women (not harassing). they can handle an approach. you can handle it too. leave/eject if she's not interested. don't be overly persistent with strangers.
>>
>>2654575
continued: depending on the country, you'll eat a lot of shit with cold approach (you'll eat a lot anywhere, but some places like Japan it'll be a TON), but just think of the dudes in like...Shinjuku, Tokyo literally spam approaching women to be a prostitute/porn star. they're way more aggro and don't give a fuck lol

or more mundanely, people "approaching" you to sell a condo, get a donation for a charity, or literally just beg.

take some of their energy and pair it with knowing you are at least putting out a better offer to women than that. you are, right?

So how hard is it to learn Vietnamese anyway? Difficult I bet
>>
>>2654718
It's a hard language, yeah. I got here last July and I finished Duolingo months ago (this is a great resource for building a foundation of vocabulary and grammar, no matter what the haters say) and I've been practicing with the women I've dated here, and a bit with the old lady at my usual coffee shop, and some of my Vietnamese coworkers, and I still can't understand shit unless it's really slowed down for me, and my own speech is also still very slow and awkward. The tones are a real bitch and there are some tricky diphthong and even triphthong vowel sounds. Still, I have been slowly but steadily making progress, and I'm planning on sticking around, so I will keep trying. It's fun and rewarding if you enjoy languages, but it's no wonder to me that many westerners who move here find it to daunting to even try.
>>
>>2654718
>>2654948
I'll add to this that the grammar is actually pretty easy. Much easier than, for example, French, even though of course everything else about French is easier for an English speaker than Vietnamese is.
>>
>>2654718

It's easy just use duolingo. Like most Asian languages, the grammar is super simple. You just have to practice your tones.

>>
>>2655153
We’re still here. A majority of the good English teaching jobs, especially at universities that pay well, are with native English speakers
>>
>>2655153
>easy money
I'm a white native speaker and an English teacher in Vietnam but I wouldn't call it easy money.
>>
>>2655185
Guessing that you’re teaching kids? I’ve heard that can be pretty hellish
>>
>>2655197
Yeah I'm teaching kids. Most of my classes are pretty cool. I only took this job because I couldn't figure out where to get a job teaching adults, and I expected to hate it because I thought I just didn't like kids, but desu they've grown on me. A lot of them are just too sweet not to like. I'm no closer to wanting my own, but that's a different matter. Secondary (middle school age) kids can get bent though.
Anyway, what I meant was just that teaching, itself, isn't easy. It takes some skill and effort to do well.
>>
>>2655199
I think it’s just so different teaching them to adults. Granted I’ve never taught kids before, but I think it would wear on most people. Also I think the pay is lower (40-50 mil a month at most?) so that is kind of demotivating

How are you making under $1,500 a month? Unless you’re working part time or something or don’t have a CELTA
>>
>>2655233
I do have a CELTA. I work for one of the major chains and they just kinda underpay as it turns out. I took the job because I was promised lots of support as a newfag but that was basically a lie. I mostly like the job but I think I'd be better off doing it for someone else.
>>
>>2655235
Yeah you should definitely look at other places. Wall Street English or places like that typically pay close to $2,000 to start and it’s fairly easy
>>

>Why do expats get depressed in SEA so much? I’m talking about non-diaspora expats.

A few reasons

1. Lowered standard of living (because they're in a third world country)

2. They can't speak the local language, thus cutting themselves from befriending 95% of the population

3. They date a tiny pool of sluts (2% of the population) that ride the expat cocks. Locals speak english well, but the sluts working at the girly bars sure can.

4. The male expat often comes to SEA country alone, with no friends or family for support. Contrast to the Vietnamese immigrant that goes to America brings his whole family to live.

5. Western expats are often losers, rejects, and divorcees, that need to seek greener pasture. The Chad stays in his home country, makes his 6 figures salary, has beautiful wife, kids and home.

7. Lowered income. A doctor in America makes 6 figures, but the same American dollar would make pittance in Vietnam. An expat is relatively rich compare to a Vietnamese local, but still poor to an American who decides to have a career IN America.

And so many more reasons....
>>
>>2655654
When you read expat forums (like Saigon Expat or Hanoi Massive Facebook group), Western expats complain about Vietnamese culture, corruption, dirty trash, and air pollution. They keep crying and complaining until they're blue in the face, but they'll never leave Vietnam because these losers have nowhere else to go
>>

how to spot a bitter local?
he is totally obsessed with muh money and wageslaving
he has been told that it's the ultimate purpose of life and he can't comprehend that other people might have different priorities in life since that completely goes against his NPC "culture"
westerners wanting to maximize their wealth will not come to live to a poor third world country in first place, they either stay in the west or go to a country such as Singapore

my previous question still stands: why are you so obsessed with expats?

for some reason local trolls are never banned or their messages deleted

SEA countries attract two specific types of "expats":

1. The old white male: He's on a pension, divorced, and tired. He wants to drink beer and engage in short-term encounters with sex workers. The old white male often complains about the weather, trash, bad customer service, SEA culture, and "corruption" in SEA countries. They're terminally online, complaining on Facebook groups and in Vietnamese news comment sections.

2. Degen English teacher: Often in their 20s, but can be in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. They were losers back home, so they took a dead-end job teaching English to little kids. They have no skills other than speaking and writing the language they grew up with. The Degen English teacher eventually becomes the old white male if he stays in SEA long enough.

Okay, so when a white guy ditches his friends, family, girlfriend, and job to move to a third-world rice-farming country, it's kinda fishy, right? Like, there are hardly any legit reasons for him to just up and leave everything behind. That's why white dudes living in Southeast Asia can be pretty sus.
>>
>>2655673
Complexities of taxes. Example if they have any derivatives/equities they actively trade or if there business has one of the SEP-IRA or Simple IRA plans. Certain estates can also be more complicated to deal with. Typically you wanna deal with an in-person tax accountant when such things happens.

They also have family in the states so they stay with cousins/children for 3-5 months before heading back.

why are you constantly obsessed about a "white guy"? did he stole your girl?

>any legit reasons
yes that's the bugman NPC culture, you need to get permission from the extended family before doing anything in YOUR life. another weird part is thinking that you can do changes in your life only once, after that no further changes are possible, viet girls also tend to think like this which is frustrating

in reality a white guy has lot of options: he can always go back to his country, or another country, or get a new degree/career later in life, unlike Asia there is no age limit for studying. some are just bored with their work in the west and want to have a gap year or two. There is also a thing called Internet that allows you to keep in touch with your friends and you can easily visit your country if you wish since you have money

wageslaving doesn't make sense in Vietnam since wages are horrible and hours are long (unless you're an english teacher) but there are plenty of western expats in Thailand who have way better life than they could have in the west. Gross pay is way lower, difference in net pay is already much smaller thanks to low income taxes in Thailand, and purchasing power is great.

>So how hard is it to learn Vietnamese anyway?
Really fucking hard.
It's a mono-syllable language, so the same three letter word will have several different pronunciations based on it's tonal structure. Of course, this doesn't take into account regional differences in tones and vocabulary.
Imagine if you will this scenario where you go to a coffee shop and order a coffee:
>Chao em, Anh muon mua cafe
>(Hey younger person, I ((an older male around your brother's age)) want to buy a coffee
>Do you want a large or a small
>The word for large is lớn (rising tone)
>The word for can is lon (neutral tone)
>The word for pussy in some parts of the country is lon (falling tone)
Naturally, there's hundreds of regional slang words for bad words, you'll learn this from your vietnamese friends after learning thank you, excuse me, and fuck your mother.
>I want to order a large pussy coffee
>Uproarious laughter
>Noodles dropped
