Reminds me: something odd about this forum -- there's no threads. Here we are posting in Vietnam, which on most forums would be a general section, and then individual threads on different specific topics would be posted within it. Here everything about Vietnam gets put into this one giant thread. It ends up being chat-style back and forth, not really relevant to most people coming to read. I just mention it because it makes finding useable info a really time-consuming task. I have to say, for me, it's a big drawback of this site. Vietnam should have its own section, and we should be able to start individual specific threads within it. It'd make finding info a lot easier.

We'd also be able to have something like a 'stickie' that could contain the kind of info pepole come here to ask again and again and again (which is obviously annoying to some here) like where are the GF hotels, which clubs are good, hair salons, etc etc.

This IS a thread on the city of HCM, there is a couple of others on Hanoi, Danang...etc but not as active as this one, the forum itself is either SBF or sub-forum as in International Field Reports, what you are asking for is a thread within a thread, which may not be realistic as it will spilt up this SBF forum into too many minor threads with not much participation in them to keep it updated regularly.

The idea of making a sticky within this thread is more realistic & achievable, this you will have to PM Sammy himself but I sincerely doubt he will respond given the amount of moderation work he got himself into....

You will realise that its kind of dry in any forums, SBF or otherwise, if nobody comes in to interject the daily posts with chit-chat and dry humor, however I do admit its kinda irritating to those outside the circle whom just wants to look for information.

However always remember those so-called "irritating" chit-chat posts (my definition, not yours) frequently includes information and updates which VERY freqently those forumners whom are not a frequent poster in this thread will seldom bother to contribute.... they simply ask for information, say thanks (some even do not even bother to say thanks) and than disappear into thin air, maybe to materialised few months later asking for other information...

Of cos there will always be the odd person out but this are the minority, seldom the norm...

The very old original SBF forum had the true air of sharing, you would seldom find flaming, just plain old unselfish sharing of information with no strings attached, but I am just reminising about the glorious past, new generations breeds new behaviour, we just have to move & adjust....

Cheerios....SS08 ^_^

Can you explain in simple english?? I "catch no ball" leh

When I first come to this thread, I have the same feeling as many others here. Many chit-chatting...

However, the chit-chatting is the reason why many come back to this thread to post again and answer questions and doubts. The chit-chatting also create or enhance "friendship"

Ask yourself, 1 stranger PM or Post for a "get-together", will you really go and meet him? My guess will be more "NO" than "YES". You dont get anything for helping and might end-up paying for helping others. The person you help might just disappear in your life thereafter. Worse, there are many people who just come in and post for a "get-together", even we are going on dutch, the so-called seniors will go broke easily for just helping people.

For those new-comers to this post, I would suggest, spend sometime read out a bit, try to get to know the "Seniors" by "Chit-Chatting". It will be useful for the Virgin Trip to Saigon.

Yeah I realize it's probably not feasible to go that way, to having the ability to start threads -- the forum software might not even be able to do it. I don't think it'd kill off the chit-chat -- it's obvious that the majority of members come here to participate in that. If there were separate threads, then at least one of them would consist of mainly that. The only difference is that people would be able to post questions or other topics outside of that chat thread. We basically have that chat thread now, and only that.

I think you actually mis-defined my definition -- it's not the chat itself that's irritating, but the job of going thru it all when looking for info. I know, that's not exactly clear. I mean, I can see obviously that people here are enjoying each others' company, and that that's a good thing and the reason those guys come here. It's just that from a selfish viewpoint (mine, maybe only mine, or maybe not, who knows), when I need to go thru it all, as yes an outsider from that chat and the in-jokes, that job can get tedious.

I really do think that if there were threads, I mean the ability for users to create threads, it would result in the same amount of chat, but also MORE chat that'd just be more focused on a specific topic. So more focus basically, and even more chat -- because the topics would inspire fresh thoughts on those particular topics. As it is here, a topic tends to die off more quickly because it gets lost in the long long thread. It doesn't get seen by most, only the ones who come often or are careful to check the thread carefully going back.

What I see in other forums is that a specific topic will start, it'll get a bit hot for awhile, up to about 30 posts or so, and then often it will transform into some totally different topic just because other subjects come up in teh course of discussion. And in-jokes and chit chat that has nothing to do with the original topic often take over too.

anyway, just my 2 cents... maybe 3.

My Vietnamese Language is the worst among the people I mixed with. However, I have "Long Hair Dictionary" that is much better than Vdict or many other digital language translator.

Was dragged to Suoi Tien Theme Park out in District 9 over the long weekend.

Aproximatly 20 - 30 min cab ride from D1. Cost is aprox VND150K - VND200K

Entrance Fee is VND 45K

Theme park is similar to Haw Par Villa in Singapore. It talks about the legends of Vietnamese Folk Lore as well as mythology.

It has also an amusement park attached to it. There is also a water park inside. Most of the attractions as well as the rides you have to pay money to "enjoy" it. anywhere from VND10K - VND50K (Depends on the type of ride / attraction.)

Suoi Tien theme park, Saigon-HCMC/ Vietnam

The above web link is to the home page but please take note the info is not updated. Some attractions are no longer available.
