• Okay people...don't bash me too hard here (he-he): Since I have been in Hanoi, I have only met the WRONG types of women. Either they don't speak English or they are gold-diggers (thinking I am rich). Where do "upper-class,educated" HN-girls hang out at? I can't be the first foreigner to raise this question!

• I imagine that there is a fair share of non-Vietnamese speaking consumers here that are sometimes in the market to buy large ticket items for their home or work (electronics & such). Is there a reliable “go-to” resource (where the staff relates in decent English & makes your purchase a confident one)? As a new foreigner here, I get a scary feeling whenever I want to buy something expensive (not knowing where to turn to for “advice, & instruction or warranty issues”).

  Wow...I am impressed my ALL these replies. I mostly have give credit what Tango says. Despite my search being sincere, I do in fact get judged as a “western-player”. I suppose the "nose ring, shaved head & black attire & buff-posture" curses me.

  I have shared conversations with the types of woman I am looking for. They all explain that since I stand out in the crowd, if we were seen together, she might be judged in a biased light (by conservatives in the HN community). Sadly, this might be true.

  I shared one short-lived romance with a girl who would only meet me in secret. As perfect as she was, that relationship ended when I would not buy her an iPhone upon my return from the USA. I love it…I am freak AND a sugar daddy (he-he)!

  I have even gone so far as to join online dating websites like http://vietnamcupid.com, http://vietsingle.com & http://docthan.com (all with a profile introduction that was politely translated into Vietnamese). This was a LITTLE helpful.

  Some of you ask me what I mean by “educated”. Perhaps I used the wrong word. I mean a “cultured/upper-class” girl who has been raised from within a family that is self-sufficient in business & open-minded enough to take chances.

  Bla-bla-bla…I sound like every other single guy looking for love (he-he). I know I am just asking for trouble by starting this post. Still, since I have no shame (or limits), I figured I would open up a can of worms & what debate I can unleash!

  Thanks people. This is great. Ya know...where ever I go, I always seem to "light a fire & walk away" (he-he). I am good at getting people's panties in a wad I guess.

  About the hair: Not my choice people. God cursed me with a thinning hair line. It was either shave it all off or look like Bozo The Clown (only American's will get that).

  For those who REALLY want to bash me, look at my profile (when I "did" have hair)!

  Make no mistake Hippo...I am "wierd" (according to some). I do not conform to the norm, I love porn & thrive off the WWW). Damn...I should see a doctor.

  Ya know...there WAS that ONE girl (selling fruit on the street) that gave me a little smile. Maybe I should lower my standards a little (closer to my level...he-he). Hell, she was just as hot as "iPhone-girl" (or the "blue-bloods" I am scouting for). Thanks to everyone for setting me straight. MANAGEMENT...SORRY TO START A FIRE. It was fun though!

  I am not shopping now. I am just curious where foreigners look to when they DO shop. I am talking about high tech things like high-end "home-audio, entertainment-gadgets & quality-computers" (purchases that require a little consultation before the buy).

  Hmmm...It looks like there might be a demand for a new generation of retailers in this area. I guess Hanoi is still developing for the expat/tourist/foreigner crowd, huh? I'll visit where you all suggested though!

  Hmmmm...maybe I have just bought that ONE girl an iPhone. And then their was that pregnant call-girl who got hit up by her LAST foreigner-man (& then bailed). And then their was that OTHER one (but she had an adam's apple & big feet...not sure what was under the hood).Hmmm...what's a lonely-boy to do?...

  Since I have been here, I have been going nuts with all the internet problems here. Oh well. I guess I shouldn't complain as I am a guest here.

  I gave up on "wireless" in HN. Regular cabled connection was bad enough. I just string a long network cable throughout the rooms I am in.

  Oh, this is all quite funny now (and I am sure readers are tired of this string). In closing, I will say this: I have turned full circle. I closed all my internet-dating accounts & plan to be less obvious when out there looking. That's all folks....

  Another scam. Most are from Nigeria & Russia. It's all very entertaining to watch actually. I usually play along with these ads, reply (like a idiot willing to send money), dangle a carrot in front of them & see how anxious & frustrated I can make them.
