Considering dating a Vietnamese woman. Some thoughts / questions...

In VN they can/do put the name " International " school in front of any school, would you consider a chain of schools throughout VN, as being an international school, if it was based in Thailand? They must think it's an " International " school if they have a NES?  Genuine licensed educators, i.e Uni Degree in English, are a rarity here, more likely to be Filipino's, or European TOEFL qualified teachers. They don't care what your Degree is as long as you have one, because that's the law here. Have a look at some of the positions advertised on the net for VN. They only want us to teach English, ( along with VN English teachers ). But occasionally you might see a position for a Math teacher.

Yea, common for schools to masquerade as real accredited International Schools. Even having a degree in English doesnt make someone a licensed educator. They would need an accompanying teaching license (not TEFL/TOEFL) from their state or country. Same with people with other degrees like History, Biology, etc.

You wont find many positions for real International Schools on the net in the general sense. They usually fill their positions from international job fairs, and sites like Search, TIE, etc.

We'll be in enough " trouble " for going " off Topic ."

I am a late 20's early 30's American male. Will probably be heading to The Gulf / ME to teach at an International School next year. I am kind of between a rock and a hard place when it comes to dating women and marriage prospects. I obviously do not plan on meeting any women in the Gulf / ME. Thus I am feeling compelled to try and find a wife in Vietnam or Philippines. From my impressions living in East Asia, Vietnamese are more traditional and trustworthy than Filipinas. I could be wrong, but that is just how I feel from personal experience. None the less, I am still open to them as well.

What would be the best way to go about meeting a Vietnamese girl?

Like with Filipinas, I am sure its paramount to discuss financial expectations before marriage and make sure you are on the same page.

Any guys in a similar situation who went that route? How did things turn out?

Thanks for the replies.

Wish you all the best in your search, but we are not a site specialised in helping members to find girls.

We will never stop repeating ourselves, Expat.com is about Expatriation, and contents on the forum should be about that only.
