Favoring foreigners
===================================

Last month, I went to a food court in Diamond Plaza and ordered some roll dishes. When I returned to my seat, a group of Korean tourists entered. Waiting for 20 minutes, I still hadn’t got served. However, when I looked at the Korean guests’ table, dishes continued to be laid out in front of them.

I angrily took a receipt and went to the counter, showing a staff there the time I ordered. The staff asked for my sympathy because it was crowded.

“I came when there was no guest. Why didn’t you serve me first?” I asked.

“But they are foreigners,” replied a staff.

“Foreigners?” I raised my voice. “So what? First come, first served. Now you either bring me my dishes or pay me back.”

Five minutes later, my dishes were served.

Another time, I took my child to a water park where guests were asked not to wear shoes or slippers due to hygienic reasons.

When we arrived at a water slide, we saw a foreigner wearing sandals and he was allowed to take the ride.

When I reacted, a staff explained, “Because he is foreigner.”

I guess the staff was too “friendly” to tourists or didn’t know enough English to explain to him the rule.

This kind of “discrimination” even takes place in resorts or upscale restaurants.

Recently, our family stayed in a hotel in Nha Trang. In the morning, we went to the hotel’s restaurant for breakfast and no one greeted or guided us. Behind us, there were two foreigners coming inside the restaurant. Immediately, a manager and a staff said, “Good morning! May I help you sir?”

As Vietnam has opened up to the world, more and more foreigners are coming here to work. Not all of them are bosses, as Vietnamese often think. When I accompany foreign colleagues, some of whom are my subordinates, I am often asked, “Can you explain to your boss that…”

Hi everyone, need help on translation.

I sent a SMS to a VB for greeting/ask her well-being, etc. She replied below:
VB : Cam dong lam em mung huc.

Anyone know what is the mung huc???

No, it is not. The sentence ended with hi hi. If it is sad, the sentence will end with huhu.

vb: tao bt may xl, nhung lo yeu may nen tao moi de may xl voi tao. Nhung ma bg tao ko thich de may xl voi tao nua. Tao tinh ngu roi, ko can ngu mo nua dau.

love someone and being love by someone is different.u only wants to be loved but no love anyone.Singapore guys can only be loved but dun love anyone.


giai quyet bau tam su-the whole sentence meaning that she means noting to u,u only wants her to satisfy ur sexual needs only.


tao tinh ngu roi,ko muon ngu mo nua dau-i wake up already,dun want to dream anymore.


tinh toan voi bx tung luc di an,tung mon do lat vat-meaning u r very calculative about money matters even for those normal daily spendings.


chia tay som,bot dau kho-break off early to stop unhappiness

This article is rich in lobangs. I've taken down the addresses

Most interesting is the thought that VN sex workers also understand the laws of economics
