Today I was enjoying a nice cafe latte courtesy of a dear reader (thanks John!) and reading one of the English language news papers The Nation. There was an interesting story called “Love In the Land of the Second Visa”. It’s about the temptations faced by Vietnamese expat men who return to Vietnam for visits.
First I want to mention a couple of the funny quotes from the story. The first one was this:
The problem is, Vietnamese women are getting prettier and prettier.
which was said by the owner of a bar when he was interviewed about the men who come in when they are on holiday.
Then there was the Vietnamese woman in San Jose who said that
All the girls in Vietnam are aggressive. They attack!
She is pretty angry because she lost her husband to one of those “love guerillas” a few years ago.
The title of the story in the paper includes this phrase they call “second visa” which is what the men call getting permission from their wives or girlfriends to make a trip to Vietnam. According to the story, everybody knows the situation, that there are loads of young attractive Vietnamese girls who aggressively pursue any Vietnamese expat man or foreign man who visits the country. They say it is because Vietnamese men who live in Vietnam have few opportunities for good jobs and good money so the girls all want an expat or foreigner.
The country is 70% people under age 35 so the percentage of young people is very large. And with all those young girls getting prettier and prettier they have a big problem, hehe. They probably all don’t look like Elly Tran Ha (photo above) but I don’t really know, maybe lots of them are just as hot.

**sigh** Is it just me, or does anyone else think about grabbing a water hose when they look at that picture of Elly in her little t-shirt??

Maybe I should ask for a transfer to our Vietnam office for couple of years. =)

I heard Vietnamese women don’t really like white men, generally.
Maybe they like the Vietnamese-Americans, though, because some of them can probably speak the language well enough and don’t look foreign.
I’ve met a few Vietnamese girls in different places and it’s true, they can be really, really beautiful. Just like Thai women can be beautiful.
But Vietnamese girls have their own unique look.

Interesting problem – a country losing one gender because of real or perceived reasons to leave. I wonder if any of the economists include such factors in their models?
Women getting prettier and prettier – that’s an even more interesting issue to investigate.

I’m sure a lot of people would like to see Elly in a wet t-shirt or even less. But as far as I know she has kept well covered. The skimpiest shots I’ve seen are the ones she did for Mars magazine.
