Charles Schwab Account in Viet by zlisik
Hi, I'll be traveling and living for little while in Vietnam -- I have a Charles Schwab bank account -- does anyone have any experience with using this account in Vietnam? Have you had any issues? I'd only be withdrawing funds -- all my ...
What trouble did you encounter? As long as you notify Schwab that you're traveling to these countries, you should be set. Otherwise, they may temporarily suspend your credit/debit card due to "suspicious activities." Many ATMs in ... Read More

I live here but do all of my banking out of the US through Schwab. As long as you let them know in advance, there will be no problem and they'll reimburse all of your ATM fees. Enjoy! :) Read More
Thanksgiving Turkeys by Frank Malt
There is a butcher shop on LeThi Hong Gam where I usually buy cuts of meat, the quality is good and a clean shop. The woman knows me now and a few days ago asked if I wanted to order a Turkey for US Thanksgiving. I told her I wasn't American but ...
The biggest challenge to getting a decent size turkey roasted is finding the oven big enough to handle the task. But ChoLon has the answer! Many meat vendors have the means to roast pigs, Cha-Siew (Chinese BBQ Roasted Pork) and ducks AS WELL AS ... Read More
Looking for Tabletop-Roleplayers in HCMC (DnD,Pathfinder,WoD,SW) by GuestPoster27
Hi, I´m looking for a group of fellow nerds (and I know my chances are slim on this forum) to get some gaming on. This is just a preliminary survey of interest, things like place, time and other things will be decided if we get enough people ...
Hey! It looks like I have amassed a critical mass for a group (maybe even 2 groups!). If anyone is interested, PM me your email so I can get everyone together in the next day or two :) Read More

Would you be interested in meeting up sometimes this week? I haven't been able to connect with anyone here so far (some people I've talked to but they've since left), and I'm not aware of any Facebook group. I'd love to be able ... Read More

So who's up for a weekly game? I'm here now and I've been looking for people to play with, still. I have all the dice and even some books. Read More
Image Consultant and Personal Stylist
Hi, I've been searching for an affordable image consultant and personal/wardrobe stylist, but I never found anyone (affordable or not). Can anyone give a recommendation? Local stylist preferred, but I'm not picky. Read More

You can use invisible castle, but really a large part of gaming joy is rolling the dice :p Worry not, I have plenty of dice, both polyhedral and fudge. I even have a grid map. I won't be in Vietnam until April 5th, and will likely be busy apartment ... Read More

You should feel right at home with Pathfinder if you're familiar with 3.5. The changes are minor, however, so you'll find yourself caught by surprise by many things. I've recently helped someone with 3.5 background to start with Pathfinder. I own a ... Read More

I lived in Vietnam for 15 years. But that doesn't matter, because the question you ask is a purely financial one and should be made with financial calculations. What you failed to take into account is inflation. Historically inflation in Vietnam ... Read More

Well, it's hard to predict Vietnam's financial situation in 2 years. Assuming that the numbers stay the way they are now, the answer is probably no, depending on where in Vietnam you live. If you want to live a somewhat high-end lifestyle, the ... Read More

I think the biggest difference is that these game are role-playing games, not board games. So while you may play board games and have fun getting to know your friends, you play tabletop RPGs as your character and it's very possible (likely, even) ... Read More

Hah! I figured I would find something on here. I won't be in Vietnam until April, but I'd really like to play as well. I haven't had a chance to play WoD or SW, but I have played and GM Pathfinder (both Society and Adventure Paths) for several years ... Read More
