She told me this over the phone (daily teleconference) While working, she gets to know 2 guys (1 Taiwanese and 1 Viet Kieu). These 2 guys are interested in her and are willing to help her in money terms.

The Taiwanese is working in HCMC and willing to give her family US$20,000 if she can marry her. He is also very willing to help her out if she requested. However my baxa says she rejected he offer as there are terms attached. This Taiwanese knows her brother need a laptop and he offers to buy one for her brother, she rejected as well. So I bought a laptop for her brother by paying monthly installment. She is very happy that I can help this time. She knows that I pay by monthly installment, she tells me to deduct from the monthly allowance I give her.

The Viet Kieu just got to know my baxa 2 weeks ago. Now he is back in USA. He is willing to be friend with my baxa now and would like to develop the relationship further in the future is compatible. He asked for her yahoo account, but my baxa say no time to chat with him, as she is busy working to earn money for family. He offers to help my baxa by sending by sending money monthly. My baxa tells me she is willing to take the money from him. She assures me that she only love me but want more help to assist her family.

Since day 1 I know, I have been telling her that I do not have a lot of money, so she never ask much from me. Now baxa want take money from the Viet Kieu. I lan lan have to accept the fact. SBF bro, how would you response to this?

So this is my very personal experience about LIES and MONEY with Vietnamese.
1) If you want the truth, you will have to accept it when told. If you think you cannot accept the truth, don’t bother to ask too much. It will only hurt.
2) If you have money to give, just give and don’t think that you are conned. If you have no money to give, just accept the fact that your baxa / girlfriend will get it somewhere, somehow.
3) If you cannot accept the fact that this is the situation that most poor Vietnamese are in, don’t start a relationship with one.

Cheers,

Still love my baxa a lot no matter how much I cheong in Sillypore JC/GL viet scene.

Bro, i know you for so many years since secondary school days. After reading your post, i have to say i am worried for you. So don't mind me kapo a bit to point out somethings i find suspicious. I have been around the Viet scene since 2002 and have my fair share of the nightlife in HCMC. I know u love your ba xa very much, but no matter what, i find the situation she describes about the taiwanese man and US vietkieu very suspicious. I don't want to say too much about this, but please be careful.
