Got my 2nd bout of food poisoning in a month. Last one resolved overnight now I'm coughing up mucus and have night sweats so bad the whole bed is soaked. 3 days+ now I'm nervous

Looked it up and the night sweats thing means it could be tuberculosis. Fuck if I have to die in this third world shithole because Viets can't cover their mouths or engage in basic hygiene

Could be an undercooked burger from Burger Bros in Da Nang or it could be getting coughed on by sickly Viets/Koreans in the elevators. The hotel buffet had 'off' chicken but I spit it out immediately. I've heard hotel buffets are the worst because apparently Vietnamese don't throw old meat away if it's refrigerated.

I'm American so this whole thing feels like Moctezuma's revenge on steroids. Fortunately I travel with hardcore medicine for shit like this. With each wave of diarrhea my stomach feels better but the cough isn't budging.

I don't trust doctors in America let alone Vietnam where half the medications in the pharmacies are fake/diluted. I have bought antibiotics here for other things and they didn't do anything. I brought the exact same type of antibiotics with me and they worked within a day.

You can look it up online. There are horrifying stories where many people died in Vietnam because of fake antibiotics. It's either a sugar pill or worse (and unfortunately more common), it's a blend of cheaper drugs and who knows how they might combine together.

White parents actively encourage their children into becoming trannies. Asian parents tell their kids to study hard and become doctors, lawyers, engineers. White parents tell their kids "follow your passion". They study liberal arts and become life-long Starbucks employees.

Karaoke is part of Vietnamese culture. But KTVs are as well, just like in China.
The idea is you go with a few fellow business men after signing a contract so you can enjoy yourself and get dirt on each other.
The girls are not just whores, they're entertainers
Anyways if you don't want to deal with saying no, you could go to iCOOL
>>
>>2673573
I don't know how entertaining those girls can be outside of sex when nobody in the country speaks English. They may be hostesses for the rich Vietnamese guys that were there but to us tourists all they could be is prostitutes. Like seriously, 99% of the people we interacted with didn't speak a lick of English.
It felt weird because when we were in Cambodia a lot of people spoke pretty decently.

Of course they'd hate the country that kicked them out for being race traitors and of course they'll keep dick riding the country that let's them live off of welfare.
>>
>>2673794
Anon its actually the opposite. South Koreans do plastic surgery to look like Hapas and Latinos who live in the Philippines.

South Korea has the highest plastic surgery rates in the world. Also, Vietnamese from Vietnam are also pro American, not just Vietnamese in America. The Vietnamese hate China more than America and so look at America as a useful counterbalance against China. In Vietnam there's a saying: "We fought against America for 10 years, the French for 100 years, and against China for 1000 years."

I could sell my paid off ranch and home here in Central Texas and after taxes and costs be holding around $1.3 million. I'm 51, wife is 43 and we have a 3 year old son. We have about $112k in savings and investments that return around $25k to $30k a year depending on performance. We pick up languages fast and my wife is already fluent in French, with a little effort I could be as well. I'm half Japanese and Dutch genetically, wife is German and Crow Native American. We make friends easily and are down with our friends when needed. How cushy would it be for us? Do Vietnamese men enjoy hunting trips into the jungle and fishing trips in the nearby oceans? If so, I'm set... Dad did two tours in Vietnam, got his records and diaries. I would love to check out the places he was during that.

Idk what hunting trips you would do in Vietnam, I would assume most big game is protected, fishing I can see work.

$25k-$30k assuming the trinity study is more than enough but it the Visa runs and not being able to buy land that will fuck you in the long-term.

You're 51, what are you doing on 4chins? This board is full of incels.

Anyways to answer your question, Vietnam doesn't have long-term visa for tourism. They can deny you at the border anytime. Better stick to Thailand's elite visa since you have the money.

Thailand is 1000x better than Vietnam. There is a REASON why there are more tourists in Thailand than Vietnam.

I have never been to vietnam, never taught english and never been to a vietnamese teaching centre (obviously)
just shocked to hear they are hiring ESL teachers when there are tons of white native english speakers (without degree) who are barred from teaching there
personally I have a TEFL cert. but haven't put it to use because the only places worth teaching require a degree but I am a tradie

YOLA might be a decent option. My girlfriend works for them as a Vietnamese teacher and it seems like they're well run and business is good. Might not be a huge upgrade over your current situation but it should be a more professional environment and you would get more PD and support.

ACET has better pay and good managers. They're hands off but will help you if you ask for it. And if you actually suck shit they'll work with you to create a plan to improve rather than fire you. Hours are unpredictable though because the timetablers are retarded and they insist on changing teachers every 5-8 weeks. No little munchkins as the classes are all teen and adult.

BC is another option. Again higher salary and nice schools overall but there's a ridiculous amount of middle mangers and they're all insufferable, incompetent cunts. Also kinda hard to get the job since they do talent pool recruiting.

Other options would be pursuing higher education, like a DELTA or DipTESOL. They're tough courses but affordable and you'll definitely know you're shit afterwards. Afterwards you can make 700k or more per hour at the above centers or 800k+ at RMIT.
>>
>>2675893
Would definitely recommend RMIT even if you have just a BA and CELTA. $30+ an hour is pretty nice.
>>
>>2675893
>>2675964
Yeah I'm fucking trash right now you guys. I know I can be better but I just need actual hands on development. I get some people can just figure shit out on their own but not me. I doubt a place like ACET would hire me or RMIT would hire me now. Apollo's pay is shit compared to what you guys are talking but that's not even my concern at this point.

Mixed bag.
Most were in the process of trying to get a business off the ground, but not as much as in Bali where literally everyone's story is "I decided to stop my 9-5, took all of my money, and came to Canggu to start a business/expand my brand"
A lot of it feels like playing pretend desu, they have business meetings in My An cafes where they "network". Most of them are usually gone within the month. I went to some of their networking events to see what it was all about and it was turbo cringe, but I kept going to them because it was the best place to pick up Russian marketing chicks. There's a whole subset of expats who make bank by providing services to the transient digital nomad crowd. Those that actually work don't fuck around with pretend-business and you mostly run into them in the evening when they are done for the day, or it's people who lazily manage passive income streams (me)
As far as degeneracy is concerned, the absolute most degenerate were the korean salarymen on vacation, but you can spot pretty much anyone doing the powerwalk of shame away from a VIP massage place.

making $100K after taxes and basic living expenses or having $100K gross income? that's a huge difference

$100K gross income in major US cities will give you way lower quality of life than earning $2k per month in Vietnam, especially if you're a white man

making $100K after taxes and basic living expenses is $250K+ gross, I doubt many are earning that amount

the problem is while you're working for $2k a month in vietnam, your peer keeps making more money and snowballing their net worth, i've known many who come to the states and work hard, they then go back home and have a western stream of income and will live like kings and queens until they die, also they are of viet descent so they can just straight up buy land instead of falling for the condo scam.

$2k a month doesn't even get you a decent car in SEA since they have double import.

I know people say dating has changed in VN, but they say that everywhere. I'd like to believe VN is still great for finding wife material. easily had one that got away back in 2019. I was simply too young and broke for my current family quest now

im a lowly janitor making a measly $50m/year in America. I live in a van to avoid rent and sell my ass for crack. Its not much but its enough to buy a grain of rice.

I am hoping to have lots of sex with brown women and lose my meagre assets after my new wife gets the green card. Will 3 billion savings be enough ??

Gosh... I'm so pathetic. Being this poor. I can't imagine what even poorer people must feel like.

idk, make yourself more attractive. I had two relationships, with a Ukrainian and a Mexican girl and I didn't speak either of their languages but I was dedicated to make it happen.

1 million dollars a year? Dream on, you'll spend that much in the first few months. Vietnam is a very expensive country.
