- Hi there!
I’m a student from China. I’m going to travel in Vietnam for about one month from August this summer vacations. It will be my first time going abroad and I’m really looking forward to it!!
However, my university asks me to come back before 8.15 to participate in summer camp, or I can’t earn practice credits for the second year in university. So to speak…
Of course that I don’t want to give up the trip! So I talked to my professors and they agreed that it’s also acceptable if I do some kinds of practice outside school.
But the premise is that I need to show my professors a document about the organization, agency or some places where I do my practice. (It’s like a Documentary evidence for my practice about one month. I know it’s sort of cheating, but pleaseee, who didn’t do any crazy things in his school time!! lol)
So, is there anyone who can offer me one?
In return, I’d like to work (actually volunteer) there for about one week. You don't need to pay me. And after that, I also need a practice evaluation from the place where I volunteer.
Let me know if you have any ideas or questions. I would be very grateful to your help!
Have a good day!
Mélodie.
- Chào People of Ho Chi Minh City,
On the 16 June my friend an me are coming to your city. Our plan is to explore Vietnam and bordering countries on motorbike! :D
- Can you recommend me a place, where I can get a good bike (250ccm)?
- Is renting a good idea or are there better alternatives?
- How much can I expect for rent per day?
- Is it possible to cross the border with a rented bike? or maybe this way: How strict are the check points?
- Is it possible to estimate how many kilometeres you can do in average without rushing?
I appreciate every kind of advice !
Cảm ơn rất nhiều & Dankeschön
Felix
Hi Felix,
I am living in Hochiminh City now. However, I do not know much about renting a motorbike. I just can help you some information.
- Can you recommend me a place, where I can get a good bike (250ccm)? -> you can find in district 1, there are many stores there. I you want I can ask my foreign friend about this.
- Is renting a good idea or are there better alternatives? -> if you just have a short trip, renting is a good idea.
- How much can I expect for rent per day? -> I will ask my friend and let you know later.
- Is it possible to cross the border with a rented bike? or maybe this way: How strict are the check points? -> I think it is impossible to cross the border with a rented bike.
Hoai.
Dear Felix,
- You could hire good bike on 253 Đề Thám - Ward Phạm Ngũ Lão - District 1 - HCMC. They have automatic bikes. If you don't like this store , you could choose others on this street. There are a lots of bike hiring store on this street.
- You have to pay 100,000VND/ day = 5USD (at least) and deposit your passport. If you rent for one month, It will be 1 million and 300.000 VND (about 70USD)
- Renting bike is a good idea to explore this country and it will help you experiences local experiences. It is much more easier to move in traffic jam.
- You should not use rent bike to pass border, the store doesn't allow and it is a little complicated because rent bike number is Vietnamese number.
- Driving bike to Cambodia, you need to spend more than 6 hours and it is very hot in this season (42C)
- There are km clock on bike, so you could know how many km you go.
If you wanna more information, just inbox for me.
oooh!if u need help!please contact to me..or catch me on facebook http://www.facebook.com/?ref=tn_tnmn

- Has anybody know anything about Secondary Oatmill? Do you believe in a member without a complete profile? I just got a private message from Oatmill, not through Couchsurfing (?), I am still wondering how he can get in touch through my Yahoo Messenger. He seems to be knowledgeable and know a lot about other CS members. He identified himself as a free worker of some sort. He sounded indignant about some members as though he was seeking fair treatment for a friend of his. Sounded like sort of vigilante justice.
Hey Oatmeal, this is a commmunity of nice Couchsurfers. Don't kick up a rumpus! - Hi fellow CSers,
I'm teaching Vietnamese to some of my friends in Sydney and they are interested in the language a lot.
So they want to find some good books to practice Vietnamese at home.
Are you attending any Vietnamese course atm? or do you know any good Vietnamese text books thats really good to learn by yourself? I just need the titles and author so I may find some in Sydney.
Thanks in advance.
Phuong - I've had my visa renewed once in Phan Thiet and another time at the embassy in Malaysia. Where is somewhere cheap, safe, convenient, etc. in Saigon?
I'll probably get a 6 month tourist visa unless there's a better option.
Oh, and how strict are they about the expiration? Can I get it renewed the day of or a couple days after?
Thanks in advance :D - Hi guys, I am looking for someone to host me for like 4 days and 3 nights or maybe until I could find a house to temporarily stay in Saigon at the end of July.
I also need a room to rent with a friendly price as I will also be looking for English Teaching job or a job at an NGO. I will be starting a new life by living and working in Saigon or maybe in Hanoi if I don't get an opportunity in Saigon.
Can anyone host me? Hit me up! Meetup would also be okay.

- I am a Vietnam girl, but I never take the time to travel in my country. Now I decided to implement it in their journeys through Vietnam
My plan is to meet the flight from Ho Chi Minh to Ha Noi and start from Hanoi
Fly From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh : Stay 4 days ( travel around Hanoi )
From Ha Noi go to Ha Long Bay : Stay 3 days
From Ha Long go to Lang Son : 2 or 3 days
From Lang Son go to Cao Bang : 2 days
From Cao Bang go to Yen Bai : 1 days
From Yen Bai go to Son La (Sapa here) : 3 days
From Son La go to Hoa Binh (with hot springs): 2 days
From Hoa Binh go to Ninh Binh (temples with statues thousand of Buddha): 2 days
This is my travel itinerary of the northern Vietnam. (Plz help me how to go there?, And some experience of my plan)
If you plan to travel through Vietnam we can plan together. Because I feared for my trip ... - Coucou CS-ers
I'm Thông, a 20-year-young man. I officially lost my job two week agos ;( I was teaching Vietnamese to a Malaysian guy but now he quits as he can run his own self-study Vietnamese class.... That's either good news or bad news to me.
Well, I post this thread in the extreme hope of getting a new part-time job because I feel so uncomfortable when using my parents'money.... I did try Craiglist but it did not work at all. There was a man whose name is Robert Greco, he offered me a job (as a Vietnamese teacher and translator) and I was more than happy to accept it. However, on the day we met up, this man just talked nonsense instead of going straight to the business. He then showed me his company, which is actually a "Ghost company"....Phews, luckily, I realized that, laced up my boots, yelled some bad words at him ;P and quickly walked on home...........
Oh oh, I think I should go back, sorry, just got off the subject so far.
Hmm, Do you have any recommendations to me? I'm grateful for any replies.
Thank you so very much !

- Ey,
just arrived in HCMC and I'm looking to rent a bike! I heard a lot of people buy one, but I dont really want to unless it is gonna be necessary.
I want to drive to Hoi An in about 13 days (Mui ne, Dalat, Nha Trang on the way). Anyone know of a place that rents trustworthy bikes and do 1 way trips?

I'm gonna do an internship at the international geman school from the 26th of august till the 27th of september. Unfortunatly, the school can't help me finding a place to live.
I don't think it'll be too hard to do a constant couchsurf in the same city for 5weeks, but on the other hand, paying $15 every night is too much for my budget.
Does anybody have an idea, where to find a cheaper room? Maybe somebody has a free room right now? In exchange for a small amount of money or some housework or something like that?
(If possible, close to:Thao Dien, District 2)

looking forward to experience vietnam,

- Hi Guys,
I am looking for some teachers/students who would be interested in experiencing a new platform to meet new students for personal or group lessons.
It's free and I'm doing it to make life easier for both parts :
- Foreigners who want to learn Vietnamese
- Vietnamese who want to learn English or other languages
All I'd like to get is some feed backs about the site. If you are interested, you can PM me.
Have a nice evening !
Vincent - I and my friend (2 girls) are planning a trip to Can Tho this weekend. Just wondering if anybody wanna join us?
2 day-trip. On Sat, we intend to visit Vườn Cò Bằng Lăng (60km far from Can Tho city), then visit nhà cổ Bình Thủy, chùa Nam Nhã. If have time, we'll go to KDL Mỹ Khánh. At night, we'll have dinner on the boat. On early morning of Sun, we're going to floating market, then visit fruit garden of people there. We'll come back SG in the afternoon.
- So so longtime i left away this site , now i am back ,, Wow ! new shape , new interface ....it looks to make more closer people ,, (more...)
- Okay, I've avoided getting involved in the whole Joey thing so far, but I feel that this needs to be said:
If you want Joey/Oatmeal/Kim/whateverhisnameis to piss off and leave us alone, the very simple solution is to STOP RESPONDING TO HIM WHEN HE POSTS ON HERE. Just ignore him. He is looking for attention and validation, and every time you reply to him or acknowledge him, no matter how well thought your argument, you are giving him the attention he seeks and encouraging him to post again. So stop.
Please guys. I know it's difficult, but it's the only way!
If you still need convincing, read point #4 here: http://bit.ly/1b4nPtc
From the above link:
"He's not expecting agreement or for the community to change based on his feedback. He's looking for that community to attack him. He wants the attention. He can't get love from the group, but he can get hate, and even hate is better than apathy.
Therefore, screaming insults at him only ensures that he'll continue doing what he's doing. If nobody responds to anything he says, he'll simply get bored and go away.
It's so simple, yet incredibly hard to do. Every instinct in your body will scream for you to react, the same instinct that makes the other dogs in a pack attack the one acting like a fucktard. You must resist it.
Before you can even stop to think about what you're going to say, your fingers will be hammering out the perfect combination of letters to "put him in his place." Understand this: if you combined all of the languages from every life form on every developed planet in an infinite number of universes, you would not be able to construct a single sentence that would accomplish this goal.
He's not after an argument. He's after your response. Any response. If you hit that "enter" button, he automatically wins."
This could probably do with being translated into Vietnamese...
U mad, bro?
I always pictured trolls as just angry nerds, but never thought they might literally be mentally ill. I heard through the grape vine that "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" stopped taking medication and Saigon's CS community took the toll. Just in case the grape vine had any truth in its rumors I decided to feed the troll. Worth a shot I guess. But never again :> It's a shame that CS can't block "You-Know-Who's" IP address or something.
Ah well.
Great article btw. In case you haven't already seen this video of how to thwart an internet troll: http://youtu.be/FMEe7JqBgvg
Point taken.
I regret falling for the bait that this army of fake profiles put in front of me. I could see the trap but just couldn't resist. What a mistake that was.
But will ignoring the legion of fakes be enough? Seriously, i'm starting to be more pissed at the couchsurfing admins than at the lame dudes for allowing him/them to come back again and again, with no problem whatsoever.
Ignoring something is all fine and dandy. But when something is stinking your backyard it's hard to ignore the smell. - Hello Guy . How TO DO PARKOUR .!

I need to learn more Vietnamese. Fresco on NTMK has free parking & water. When I go to restaurants, when I see things I don't like, I prefer leaving. I just don't want to be too disrespectful. That is why I try avoiding trying out new cafes or restaurants. But I got to try more places. There are so many cafes in this city. I am not sure if I can try them all.
Highland Coffee is not too bad. Any places with free parking, water, and wifi. It is also a question of how much food and drinks cost. I also do not like paying taxes at places. I usually go where there are no visual taxes.
I will continue to learn more Vietnamese, so I can better read the signs & ask around. I will try to share my discoveries with others. I am open to suggestions, questions, advice, hints.

http://facebook.com/OriginalOatmeal - I live in Ho Chi Minh City (HCM), Vietnam (VN). I have been in Vietnam for the last 6 months, since the 29th of November of 2012. I am living in Saigon, right now. I first came to Vietnam via the Hanoi airport on a 3-months multiple-entry tourist visa. I extended my visa in HCM, since my visa was expiring on the 22nd of February, 2013. You can find my contact information at
http://OriginalOatmeal.WordPress.com
I am planning on staying in Vietnam for the next few years.
I gave my passport to a Vietnamese person who better make me a new visa. This time, I am not going for a multiple-entry visa. I asked for a 3-months single-entry tourist C2 (or something) visa. I hope they can go over the Cambodia border on my behalf, so I do not have to spend around 20 hours going to Cambodia and back. Some say that you have to go over the border yourself, while others claim that you can pay somebody else to do it for me. My 1st extension of my 1st ever visa does expire on the 22nd of May, 2013. They say I can buy a new 3 months visa, plus 3 more additional months (extension), plus the border stamp into my U.S. passport book, for almost $150 USD. That is almost 3.000.000 VND. I am learning about how visas, passports, and the other things work.
I was born and raised in Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon, United States. I attended 4 different colleges over 5 years in New York, West Virginia, & Oregon. I graduated from the Word Of Life Bible Institute in New York. I attended the Appalachian Bible College in West Virginia. I worked for the Salvation Army for 9 months in Hawaii as a missionary. I worked for 5 different years as a counselor at camps in New York, California, Oregon, and Hawaii. I have worked around 5 or more years in different states as a dishwasher, and in maintenance, landscaping, housekeeping, laundry, food prep, bakery. I have worked in a traveling children ministry team for 2 years around New York. I have worked in many ministry teams with different churches and ministries in different states. Been on mission trips in Idaho, Quebec, & Hawaii. I have worked at an after-school program, at a basketball camp as a counselor, as a basketball manager, as a freelance film-maker, editor, web builder, actor, inventor, song-writer.

@Heyde: Some of us are the real witness for what he has done. We all experienced spending time with him, and what could we have back? Nothing for sure! If you spend more time with him on here, you will find that he is really such a spammer, and a jerk (for sure a jerk!). I know something about the story between him and his gf in Vietnam. And I also know the reason why he has to move to Binh Thanh and stay there. And we are so tired of him... We also don't want him to spoil our community anymore...
I hope that will be enough for you to understand about our problem. You can look down to the lower posts to see how he spams around...
haha! when you asked him email, he needs like an hour to create a new email to you:)) haha, it is easy for us to not answer any acct have no profile. he is too stupid to creat a diffferent profile for his acct. we know that because he report everything in his blog and yell at why people treat him like that. haha
Trâm Phạm, I'm not Joey. You say that you do know Joey. I just do not know why you want to black-mail him. I do not understand why you are seeking to get this man fired from his job. I don't understand why you are seeking to destroy his life. They say that Vietnamese people are generous, but this is quite the opposite.
@smirking: i know, I just wanted to be helpful. he told me a lot pity story about him. I thought he was a pity man so I decided to help him, but now, too late to relize that he was so sick, crazy, bad guy! so that, I will write a post about him! looking for a lawyer to kick him out of my country if I can!
People should care about everybody. That is what the Bible says. Love thy neighbors. Much more than that, love thy enemies. It is my business. We are not here to just care about family and our boy friends. We are to care about making this world a better place. Tram, I take what you are saying to me as an insult & that hurts.
Kim, Joey, whatever your real name is...
I've been reading your posts for a few weeks now and i thought it was better to not write anything back, to just ignore you, hoping you would go away.
But you don't ever shut up, do you?
I think you are a lying, talent-less loony. You repeat over and over the same information so many times that i bet all of us have memorized it by now. I takes you 5 long paragraphs or more to write what anybody could write in 5 sentences. I bet some could even do it in one.
Repeating that you are an inventor, a singer, a writer, etc, is maybe a way for you to try to make it real. But it doesn't work that way buddy.
You are none of the above.
You are just a nuisance.
Your Visa is currently expired so i hope that will mean the end of your stay in Vietnam. Sadly i don't think it will be the end of your spamming, will it?
Wise up and get the hell out of here. This is my first and last message to you.
Joey, Kim, Bob, Dan, whoever you are.
i saw a post on your blog last night with the title "Adam and Steve", it was a picture of 2 gay couples and the caption says "If gay people can take a bullet for their country, they should be able to take a date to prom", and your comment that you're disagree with the photo.
i have seen you trolling here many times before and i didn't want to say anything about you because it's none of my business. but i've learned that you're not only just a liar, not just disrespectful to the people who helped you but also a homophobic.
you claimed that you're a movies maker, a writer, an inventor, a singer and so on. i have spent years studying cinematography and frankly, your Youtube videos are lame. and i'm just thinking if you were that good why shouldn't you be in Hollywood instead, but Ho Chi Minh City, and disturbing the peace and friendliness of our community on CouchSurfing. now every posts they've made are all about you. believe me Joey/Kim/Bob/Dan, it was not because you have white skin like you would always say - you are not the only white skin person here, there are 320,000 of them and counting living all over Vietnam; it was not because we are communistic and socialistic, you have no idea about socialism; it was mostly because you're an annoyance.
and last but not least, if you're still saying it's Adam and Steve not Adam and Eve about gay people, you better Adam and Leave.
@cindy Pham . Shame is yours. Why should you judge others in such an unfair way? What has Joey done to other Couchsurfers in Saigon? Nothing, he's just a guy with sincere intention to stay and benefit the community. He may of shown some off-beat behavior, but does it really matters. You have a lot of homeless insane people on streets, some people piss in tree stumps or into walls along some main streets; which is more decent than Joey's acting, isn't it? So please stop that band wagon bully against a lonely guy!
