I have been married for the past 5 years, going to the 6th year. I never dare or wanted to spend the TET holidays at my wife's province. Knowing how big is her family, i know that spending the holidays there will burst my wallet. Even when i was stationed there, i spent my TET holidays @ HCM City with my own parents at my house. My wife always suggest spending TET @ her province, i always give lots of excuses.

Yes, their family is very huge and extremely extended. Generally, most of the relatives stay within proximity of each others. They will like take Q-number and each night someone else will come over for dinner to meet you. And guess who pays for the raw material?

And it will last many many dinnerssss.

After that, probably if you still have time, will need to make a long trip to Cities like HCM where all thier many many cousins, nephew, blah blah... who works there and you get to booze heavily and eat seafood heavily..., And guess who are "presume" to pay for it??

But the good thing is that you are most likely to put on weight

Didn't know that my mention of TET led to so much discussion. Basically, HCM City is like DEAD TOWN during TET holidays.

Just like every city is HELL just before tet. The crazy hordes on motorbikes are more crazy than ever, bringing gifts and happy wishes to friends, and buying tet decorations that grow bigger every year. It used to be small branches, then trees, soon people will carry forests on their motorbikes.

On a different note, I am getting anonymous death threats from a vietnamese man now

He claims I am sending messages to his girlfriend, who he is about to marry (in his dreams, probably). I asked him to tell me her name, but he did not want to do that. So I asked him where she lives - he answers "in Cau Giay". Well that's were most young girls in H.N. live, as it happens I am sending many messages to girls there. Then he asks me if I am going out with her, and more...What a joke - he claims he is about to marry a girl, but doesn't know what she is doing with other men ?! Must be a loser.

So my best option is probably to block him on messenger, and forget about him. Then again, crazy vietnamese can be dangerous.
Does anyone have experience in dealing with anonymous death threaths...?
