online pros living in Vietnam thread - Page 30

vietcupid is hilarious in their use of props. they charge 29bux/month for an account that can send mesages to girls. so it seems like they have some girls with glam shots that bomb everyone in hopes that a guy pays the 29.

anygirl thats going for a model shoot is not searching on these sites. they are hotter, and have someone already. take a bunch of hags and modelshoot them? wtf?

there is a possiblity the site takes honest girls to the studio and modelshoots them in return for them hammering out the request for friendship. some have 1 or 2 glams that are borderline, and mistakenly added some of their own pics which are hideous.

Yes I do. But i'm not the most motivated writer, and I'm like 6 months behind on my blog. These days I got the grind on the mind, and play some ZOOM instead of writing on my blog when I have internet available....

Route: Europe - Turkey - Georgia - Armenia - Iran - Turkmenistan - Uzbekistan - Tadjikistan - Kyrgystan - Kazakhstan - Russia - Mongolia - China - Vietnam - ???

Just arrived here. Any tips on the food? After China (paradise) it will be an unavoidable dissapointment I'm afraid. But I tried a lot of different stuff, and none of it was really tasty.

Couch, beer and meet offers still welcome.

Also the street food in Hanoi looks promising!

Hi there,

For your verification process with pokerstars, did anyone manage to get called on their cellphone instead of a landline?

Regards,

Somebody post a pic! Discretely of course.

Last few times I went to check it out they said there hasn't been a game in weeks.

I saw posted in the lobby that winnings over 10M VND will be subject to 10% income tax. Does that mean that they withhold 10% from anything you cashout from the game over 10M or is it profits only?

Gents,

Just scanning through this thread. I'll be going to Vietnam in a few months for less than a week and looking into Visas. Currently not in my home country. Is the best approach to use a site like Myvietnamvisa.com?

Any other suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
