I work in HCM for 10 years already .....huhuhu

Yet i still cant speak Viet lol and i got another colleague he was here 15 years also cant speak....really fail expat

10 years ago and now i can say that HCM really different .... still remember the cheap days where fast food is luxury, no Facebook, crappy 3G and i had to keep on realod my phone to make calls back to Malaysia, only 2-3 shopping malls, single lane road. If CNY you gonna cook maggi mee as everything off. Paying and accepting USD instead of VND. Everyday power cut because not enough electricity

Now no more ..all had change

hmm what kind of food ?

I can name you a few place that its expensive ... eat at roadside dirty but for me its nice lol

Com Tam Ba Ghien ....they have 2 place ...one at Phu Nhuan another at Nguyen Tri Phuong

Their pork chop rice can cost you vnd55k for normal or vnd85k for ribs add on egg and the meatloaf vnd75k

Thats like RM13 for a food you eat by the roadside ...sometime got hair in the rice somemore lol but it is delicious

Got a Pho also RM8-10 at Phu Nhuan also not bad.

Tourist eating place Nhu Lan beside Bitexco also not that cheap but quality ok ok la.

If you miss malaysia food can eat Satay House but damn sucks and their price damn expensive.

Just one question ....how does your company deal with your salary payment?

Mine from the old days they try to evade tax then they pay in cash

then government not allow then now we have a useless local bank to bank in useless VND

then a problem with TT salary back to Malaysia ourself

...

Just want to know how does your company pay your salary? TT straight to malaysia bank? I not sure why my company dont want to TT to my Malaysia bank maybe they dont want to lose the TT fee and exchange rate? Not right for the government ?

After my complain now they try to TT using their oversea bank because its a joint stock company so they got oversea business account......then i lose a lot on exchange rate as double conversion

Really headache with this company salary payment now

damn you also same need to lose forex conversion ..... then i make noise towards my company also no use ...then you TT back to Malaysia using HSBC VN?

Yea...my tax also handle by the company

our vietnamese bank account damn useless ...mine is vietcombank ....our bank account local cant transfer money to us but we can transfer to local. We cant bring cash to bank in to our bank account and only the company can bank in salary to us. We cant register their eWallet (airpay, momopay..etc). I think from last month or this month we cant even do e-Fix Deposit ....really crap vietnam banking

Cash method last time can use but then the government dont allow already ...how he get working permit if he continue paid in cash

oh i know Timo ....but Airpay is the best now as Shopee, Foody, Now many having discount on it.

But i use Moca pay by grab is enough ..... collect grab point for more discount

other than that use BigPay ...low conversion

One more question ...have you try to TT the amount larger than your monthly salary ?

I was told by local banks that they dont allow to transfer a sum which is larger than your monthly salary....the banking here really funny

now many Taiwanese and Japanese

ok ......so its not true after all

thanks

Mine also done by company. As far as i know now its kind of strict as it require you to be a professional in that field with at least higher education qualification. Then get letter of good conduct from Malaysia government ...translate most of the document to Vietnamese. Then go to the Malaysia embassy for interview. Then i think thats all

i got mine from jobstreet like 10 years ago ?
