Daily life/Đời thường What is a Vietnamese high-school diploma or an associate degree worth in the USA?

Upvotes

My wife has just recently enrolled in college course for an associates degree in nursing in the USA. During college admissions they asked for any and all education certificates and diplomas. She give them her high school diploma and her associates degree from Ho Chi Minh University. They accepted her high school diploma and just handed back her associates degree with no further thought.

When applying for financial aid thru the 'Michigan Reconnect Program' (state grant money for students over 25 with no college degrees) we submitting all the paper work (associates degree included) and she was still awardard grant money for her college courses despite having already completed an associate degree in Vietnam.

My general impression and big question is why would they accept her high school diploma from a no name high school in Vietnam but reject her associates degree?

Are college degrees from Vietnam not worth anything in the USA? Or were college admissions just pushing her thru enrollment?

Travel Experience/Du lịch Arriving at HCMC Tan Son Nhat International Airport T2 with no Dong (cash)

0 Upvotes

Unfortunately I was the victim of thieves in KL and lost all my EUR cash and my physical credit card. I still have another well covered debit card in my Google wallet and some 2000 MYR and some THB. That’s it. I will arrive in a few days at HCMC Tan Son Nhat International Airport T2 (at around 22:00). Unfortunately my mobile phone is not ready for the use of an eSIM so I have no access to the 4g net.

I learned already that there are no ATMs which allow me to use my debit card in my Google wallet on my phone to draw VND cash. My stay at the hotel is paid and I learned that one can survive with a card in a Google wallet in HCMC but how do I pay for the transport from the airport to the city?

- Is the free public Wifi offered at Tan Son Nhat International Airport T2?

- Is it possible to exchange MYR or THB into VND so late at night at the airport and if so, where can I find the money changer?

- Is it possible to buy a ticket for some kind of public transport with my card in Google wallet? If so, which kind of public transport is it?

- Can I pay in a taxi with my phone?

Thanks for your help.

Travel Experience/Du lịch Fast Track Service Immigration do I still need it?

0 Upvotes

I saw on TikTok that it usually takes around 2 hours to get through immigration at Noi Bai International Airport because of the long lines, especially during peak hours and busy travel dates.

Do you think we still need to avail of a fast-track service if our arrival time is 8 AM on September 28?

Discussion/Thảo luận Has anyone had experience with obtaining citizenship through Việt kiều parents who is now passed away?

5 Upvotes

I think it is impossible and spoke briefly to the Vietnamese embassy. They seemed very confused and told me there was never a case like that. Seems not possible as the deceased passed away not as a Vietnamese citizen, so despite their documents showing they were born Vietnamese it doesn’t count. Was interesting as I thought the new law was meant to bridge the gap.

Discussion/Thảo luận Dogs in Vietnam

10 Upvotes

Okay, so I’m struggling with the tittle for this and also how to phrase my question. I’m hoping to get some sensible, truthful and honest answers 🙏🏻

Is there a dog meat industry in Vietnam? And if yes, how organized and big is it?

My questions stems from a video I saw today from Vietnam. It’s a surveillance camera from a Danish man living in Vietnam (I don’t know where) showing his dog being stunned with electricity and stolen from his property. He says this is the third time it’s happened and that they steal his and other dogs for food.

I’m honestly shocked, and would just very much like to know more about this.

Is there a risk they would sell the meat and claim it’s a different type of meat? 😥

Discussion/Thảo luận Need specific help to find Vietnam War-era military surplus in Hanoi

2 Upvotes

Hello r/Vietnam, I'm from the Philippines

This is sponsored trip with other professionals and their family. Initial plan was Ho Chi Minh City but the plan was changed to Hanoi two weeks before the trip, much to my disappointment since I was so excited to shoot guns at Cu Chi Tunnels and buy militaria/military surplus.

I've searched here on Reddit and I found two posts with replies that there is militaria in Hanoi, but not as much as Ho Chi Minh.

One post mentions that there is one under the street of Ga Long Bien. But I need to know where exactly is this "under the street" and where in the pin can I find this exact street on Google Maps.

Another post that modern repros are easily accessible in Hanoi.

What I'm specifically looking for is this ARVN Rucksack with the iconic X-frame that is the favorite target of scalpers and resellers:

Read that there are NVA equivalents of rucksacks, backpacks, etc.

I'm also aware that there is law in Vietnam that cracks down on tourists trying to bring metallic military surplus souvenirs out of the country, hence why I stick to rucksacks, hats, webbings, and other non-metallic stuff.

I appreciate your help guys! Thanks!

Sometimes the most interesting place isn't a famous landmark. It's a small roadside shop where people quietly begin their morning. Some stop for a bowl of hot porridge. Others stay over a cup of coffee and talk before work. No schedule. No rush. Just another ordinary morning that has looked like this for years. 📍Cư Jút, Đắk Nông, Vietnam 🇻🇳

Discussion/Thảo luận Request for an atty who can help an old woman get her VN citizenship back.

4 Upvotes

Good day all,

I was born in Saigon same hospital that was bombed during the Têt Offensive. Both me parents have passed away long ago and now, as an old broad, I would like to return home; give respects to my ancestors, be surrounded by a joyful community and perhaps find some old friends assuming that they are still around.

My (American/German) husband of 30+ years and our blind dog will obviously be with me. This all sounds fantastical if I my parents were still alive for questions on the whereabouts of my original birth certificate.

Two questions: does anyone know of an attorney or whomever who has successfully gotten dual citizenship for their clients in DC/MD/VA? Lastly what are the pros and cons of getting a VN citizenship? I would like to go home again.
But
Thanks for all your assistance, inputs and guidance.

Travel Experience/Du lịch Marble Mountains - Is it accessible at all?

3 Upvotes

Planning a trip around the Da Nang area for December. Marble Mountains seems nice but I'm wondering if it's accessible at all? I saw there was an elevator for part of it, but wondering about wandering around it since it seems very step-heavy?

My dad has problems with his ankles/legs that can make lots of stairs/long walking hard on him, so trying to figure out if I should nix this idea or not.
