we book a 14 seat bus for 3 days. We had 8 pples . It cost us 4.2M. The driver stay in Can Tho so we need not to pay for driver foods. To me it consider cheap cos when we divide the cost, it about $70 per couple only for 3 days

Good deal. If u still have the car rental contact, can PM to me pls?
4.2M is for entire 3 days or per day?
Thanks.

Very nice - thank you.
The same thing in China - and how too many have totally forgotten what the Lunar New Year SHOULD mean.
Especially sad/disgusting that too many parents just totally exploit their daughters.

Yes, in China too many times it's even a worse situation.
Families with more than one child are usually only from the poor rural areas (One-child policy), and the daughter is usually the elder sibling. Parents pressure their daughters to build a house - which the son "needs" - and will get - in order to get married.

And even if a girl is an only child, village peer pressure on the parents will also result in the daughter being made to build a house, send home at least half of her income, come home during CNY with gifts not only for her immediate family, but also the furthest flung relatives - which means just about everybody in their village!

Things like this why a LOT of girls (I'd even estimate a majority) become WG's.
