Anyway, are there anybody out there who can give me some advice on what to do when i am in vietnam i.e. how to choose a bride? after all since they can't speak english/mandarin, they only way to choose is just based on their looks which to me is not a good or only way to judge....??

Going to match makers is one way of getting vietnamese bride. But recent few years saw the erosion of standards among the agencies. Most of the agencies get their source of gals from almost similiar sources in Vietnam. How to look out in a bride is often the most difficult part. Most man who paid to get a bride will always want a young and pretty bride, but to my experience, most young and pretty are the most unstable. These young gals would have had bfs in their own province and is just hoping to get a better life for themselves and their family by marrying a foreigner.
With the expectation that foreigners are rich and will love them more, they readily accept any proposal from the agents. Most of these gals will be equipped with basic mandarin when they arrive in Singapore. Singapore to them will look like a palace with modern buildings etc. The gals will feel lonely when they first arrive and couple with most singaporean man need to work long hours, leaving their lonely new bride at home. If they get to know other vietamese gals near their home, they will start to compare. Things will start to get a bit nasty when they start to ask for money from you. They will think that Singaporeans are rich and giving their family some money to build houses is simple. But to most singaporeans, a few thousand USD is not easy to get.
So there are lots of things to expect when getting a gal from the agencies.
