Any information about the dangers from these groups in Vietnam? I could not find any information pertaining to Vietnam on the passport site in the USA while they did have information on several other countries.

Working in Vietnam by Revolutionary
I will likely be moving to Vietnam in the next couple years and have some questions about working there? What hoops do foreigners have to ump through to legally work in Vietnam. I already have a job where I can work anywhere I have access to the ...

3g would not do me any good. I have to have a steady connection at least 2 meg down and 2 up....4-5 down would be better but not essential. What do you mean by the term internet sharks? The hours I would be working would be between 5 am and 3 pm ... Read More

how to manage rats problem by ArteoVN
Rats getting into the yard from the street and visiting all the ground floor of the house. Anybody had to deal with this problem? Anybody used ultrasound pest repellers and found them efficient? if yes, please recommend the ones you used and where ...

First off, rats are actually quite social creatures but they do not go around talking to their best buds about rat traps and poisons in the area. They are smart and if they survive an encounter with your cats they are likely not to come back around ... Read More
