-Thirta- - i know it's crazy but ... here it is:
Anyone wants to join me for wee trip to Đà Lạt (Da Lat), tonight? Honestly, I've been here (SG) for 4 days and I've just decided to make this trip like 30 minutes ago.
I'm looking for a bus right now (probably use Mai Linh service) and I will get the last bus tonight (23:00 as this website says http://tongdaidatve.vn/thong-tin-ve-ve/ve-xe-khach/bang-gia-ve-mai-linh.html) and it will arrive Đà Lạt (Da Lat) in early morning (around 6am). I know a hostel which are good and cheap (as my friends recommends it :D)
I know it's a crazy idea, making a trip in a short time like this and plus this will be my first time in Da Lat as well ... but what the hell.
:) - Hi Couchsurfers!
I want to ask you a favour: I'm preparing a surprise to my girlfriend, whose birthday is near, and unfortunately i won't be there this year, so i asked her places of the world that she want to visit, and prepare a video with greetings for her B-day from this places. And about places that she told me, she mentioned Vietnam, and well, i want to ask if there some couchsurfer that want to help me taking a picture of a typical landscape of this great place, Ho Chi Minh City, with a flag or a paper with a greeting that could say something like: "Happy Birthday Anna!" and the name of the place. (of course, with the couchsurfing appearing and greeting her. So i would be lifetime thankful if there couchsurfers that would like to help me with this.
So if someone wants to help me to make this surprise, you can write me at the mail cnalarco@gmail.com and send the picture.

- I need to get a 3 month multi entry visa in Saigon - any recommendations for cheapest / best places that do it? thx... (please list price if you know it).
(I currently have a 3 month single entry I got in China)
The official price for the muliple entry visa is 95$ (recent stamp in my passport, last year it was almost half). I can pm you a contact who does extensions, but the price is not below 120$ (haven't talked to her for a few months, but I don't believe it's gotten cheaper). Some guys in Dave's ESL forum (VN section) could maybe name cheaper options.
Andy - please PM or email details thanks - nick@five10.co.uk

Hello peeps,
I know this is really cheeky but I had a bad experience with post before. I have a small item in England that I want to be delivered here. Is anyone from England travelling to HCMC that would be so kind as to bring it here for me? It would be amazing if it could get here quickly in the safe hands of an awesome person. I'll pay you handsomely and the item can be delivered to your house in England before you depart.... It's all legal ;) Also depends how much space you have in your luggage....down with the postal service...people power!- 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.
I am teaching English all over Saigon, Vietnam.
Contact me if you want to meet me. I can teach you English. I can teach you anything you want to learn. You can ask me questions. I love making friends. We can bike. We can play games. We can play basketball. There are so many things we could do. Find me on Facebook with my email address:

Hey Dannyboy,
why don't you marry Joey or Bob or Kim? They seem to be eager to stay in Vietnam as well!
Oh wait a second ... Joey = Dan = Bob = Kim Freeman ?!??!?!?!
Why do we suddenly have so many weird profiles recently on CS Saigon? And why are those profiles related to one of Oatmeals posts? Mysterious, mysterious...
Please folks, fill out your profile completely and make an effort to get some references and if possible someone who vouches for you. A completely empty profile is kinda suspicious, especially with people like Joey/Dan, etc. haunting the world wide web!
Heyde, whatever your experience with Joey (or whatever his name is) might be (positive or negative), it is definitely NOT OKAY for a member of this website to create FAKE PROFILES. It is undermining the safety of other members and there are clear regulations for that!!!
And it is also NOT OKAY for members to spam the forums. And with all due respect, there can be very little doubt that he is spamming the forum. And the number of people he is annoying with his immature behaviour is by all means growing every second!
@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. - You have heard about Vietnamese coffee. I mean the real one, not just fake flavour around the city. It is also my love and pride about VN. My CS friend and I will go for a peaceful morning on Sunday to drink coffee on the street named Ton Duc Thang. Just drink, talk and watch the street. Again, if you like, you can join us. My number
01677720431(Hien) - Hi~

Probably I will take in 6th aug and 14th aug - Hey guys, I will be travelling to Saigon this weekend from Thurs night till Sun (30/5-2/6) but still have no ideas what to do there. Is there anyone interested in joining me for a beer or wandering around the city? I almost got no friends in Saigon so would love to make some. Looking forward to hearing from you guys :)

Hi Tra kim, I saw your post and thought I'd let you know about our small English language school/cafe. We haven't been open long but start Lessons from next week. We are also a cafe with native English speakers available for conversation. It is a great way to practice. We are open from 12 pm until 10 pm. We are in district 3. The address is in our profile.
- Ultimate Frisbee isn't very popular in Vietnam but they do have a consistent group of welcoming people to play with! If you want an alternative to meeting people that doesn't revolve around alcohol then stop on by. There are games almost every day.
