sometimes friends of my bro's wife will also ask me or my family to help them bring utems back. we will always open up to see the content if the baggage is big.

i guess most of us have the same policy as not to help others check in items if we do not know the content.

If bring money, must count in front of her friend to prevent dispute. My friend got one time helped one girl in front of his queue check in one big box. Very dangerous I told him, no open up the box and check and she is a stranger. Better not lah

In an office, if we are working with Vietnamese ladies, do they (like some PRC colleagues), they push their work to us. After we complete their work, they claim the credit for themselves? Thank you for your answers.

haha i think depends on individual. my girl will never buy anything expensive even if i am paying. unless she likes it really really much. i dun think viet pple really mind fakes.

when encountered like that, I just told them, I can't check in any luggage. is true, because I never want to pay extra for checked in luggage, hand carry up to 7kg (tiger) or 10kg (jetstar) should be enough. i remembered one of my trips which was almost 2 weeks, also hand carry a small bag that is less than 7kg.

Sometimes when i fly with my wife, there will be some vietnamese with super overloaded bags and they will request to check in the bags under our name. I always refuse. Vietnamese worldwide are well known to do things against the law, that's the reason why they are not very welcome in most part of the world.

best policy...this is safe guard...this is not selfish...

operational cost to set aside?

i can't remember clearly, but i know the takeover fee was more than 8k SGD roi, plus the renovation, purchase of equipments, electronics etc, should be over 30k SGD. This is considered small amount to those viet kieu who spent over 300k USD to set up cafe in vietnam

i suspect my wife of my 2 babies of stealing from me and my mum.
I lost $$ and my mum lost some gold jewelry

ilovedoggie · #**10211** 02-08-2011, 10:39 PM

bros... need help here. my girl just mentioned to me about marriage. i only know her for about 2 months. we had been through quite a few emotional and sentimental challenges. but long story cut short... i would like to know the legals behind such issue. let's say we got married in vietnam and we stayed in singapore. and what if we got divorced? will i have to split my property in singapore with her?

just to ask some questions here... don't flame me please... im quite sure some other bros would like to know it. i hope i can get to know her for longer time before we get married.

Good thread/info from all. Indeed always start with something affordable eg calling cards as test - move on to higher grounds (more valuable things) gradually. Support would be for whole family and extended families until give up. No different from the Thais / Filipinos .

Always nice to help but not baggages. May get into trouble at checkpoints if illegal eg. concealed drugs / weapons etc. Very risky for Thailand and Philippines - cases of long jail terms before.

Thanks for your Upz. Just return U. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

as long as she is legally married to you...she is protected by women charter and shall have equal or bigger share of your property if can be proven right...

sad to hear that. you can try putting some image capturing device at home instead of suspecting. its very tiring thing to do...

i think this also applies even if just having a customary wedding without signing any paper work.
