Brudders who dabble with Viet wife issues, be aware... the basic Viet thinking is that they should gang up to cheat foreigners...(especially Singaporeans)... I am not saying that Vietnamese are all CHEATS... but there are many saying and generally agreed among themselves that this is the norm... could be because of their history that they have been always bullied by various foreigners (French, Chinese and Americans) and this is their first time in history for the past 30 years still peaceful with no war on their homeground.

So in this case-study, if u dun know ur "wife" too long and too well, she could have collaborated with her sis to "swallow" that sum of money together then later split among themselves.

I have a Singaporean friend, in Vietnam for 15 years already and speaks Vietnamese as well as local, able to read and write perfect Vietnamese with the vowels.. etc. He also fall prey into this sort of thing, with his legally married wife in Vietnam. Until today he still not convinced he has been cheated by his own wife which he has just recently divorced.

So beware....

Basically, when ur Viet wife says buy house/land in Vietnam is good investment.. and convince u to part with ur hard-earned money for a very good investment opportunity, u should think of all kinds of reasons to refuse or delay... nothing good will come out of this... let me explain..

#1 if ur wife is a good wife
=================
U buy house, buy land, under both ur names... many years later, price appreciates, can sell and both u and ur wife can enjoy the earnings together.. but tat is many years later...

#2 if ur wife is a cheat
==============
She will use some tears jerking story to tell u that the money has been spent before it was used to buy the land/house because of various reasons.. such as her mother kenna cancer.. father kenna robbed on the way to bank, brother have serious accident and need surgery money, and sister cheated her.. etc.

#3 if ur wife is good now... but some year later she changed
======================================
Maybe run away with another viet bf etc... U will have zero chance to get the land/house/money back! Its vietnam and no one will help u get anything back! She would have ways to pay-off someone and now the title-deed will not have ur name anymore!

So while so many of you thinking urs is a special case #1... well, think again!

bro,i agree with u,btw my wife use her own money earn in singapore working as a sale assistant to buy the small land,i use my saving to borrow her but i bluff her and say that i help her borrow from bank and she must return me every month cos i need to return bank.she keep to her promise and return bit by bit every month.as what u say is truth,i always take some pre cautious when dealing with them but on the same time treat them sincerly as your wife or girlfriend.
