Picking up chicks in Vietnam is easy

I keep hearing this statement over and over again from my expat/vk friends and I think there is some truth to it. It is easy to pick up chicks in Vietnam. But the chicks are:

-gold-digging

-white boy specialists

-naive  (from the village speaking 0 word of English…)

-ugly (busted teeth, fizzy hair, no ass, skin and bones,etc)

Try to pick up a chick who is gorgeous and smart.  Then you tell me whether it is easy or not.

Cost of living

A year and a half ago coffee was 6K,  sugarcane juice was 5K, gas was 16K and scooter parking fee at Lush was 10K. Now it is 8K,7K   (8K as of Jan 4th 2012), 20K and 20K. WTF Saigon?
