Red Dragon in Saigon

These dragon fruits look a bit ugly on the outside, but the inside is still super fresh. At just $0.05/kg (equivalent to $0.025/lbs), you can get around 2.2 lbs for a mere 5 cents! If you guys are traveling near my place, I'll happily hook you up with some for free. ^_^

Appreciate any insights or recommendations!

Here now since last sunday and I've had diarrhea since.

Hello everybody,

Kind of a weird one liner to start this off but unfortunately that's been my life this past week.

On the plane they served some spicy food. Me not being able to handle that, had a taste and let it sit there unfortunately that was enough for my stomach to go haywire. It went a bit normal on Tuesday and I only order Grab from places with a minimum of 4.6 and at least 1k reviews so I know what I get is at least okay for my sensitive European stomach (Dutch)

It's been a week now. Doesn't matter what I eat, where I eat, I have the runs. Today I started on Smecta and the guy at the pharmacy gave me a probiotic as well (L. acidophilus and Bifido. bacterum)

That being said, I'm only here until the 28th and the first week I've been literally couped up in my hotel room with the runs. Anyone got any pointers? I have a VERY sensitive tummy, unfortunately. I'm talking black pepper gives me the runs. At this point I'm also considering to go back home if this issue persists and coming to terms that Vietnam isn't for me, which is quite the shame because I really wanted to like this country. I'm in HCMC, at the moment near D3.

If anyone has any pointers, suggestions, advice, you name it, I'm all ears or in this case, eyes.

I made a Learn Vietnamese iOS app like if ANKI and Duolingo had a baby

I've been living in Vietnam for 3 years now, and I swear I spent about 100 hours in Duolingo then realized I wasn't really learning anything. I made flashcards, and even got a Vietnamese teacher. I come from a tech background, so I started making my own app on how I wanted to learn Vietnamese.... mainly I could dive in to grammar, tones, lessons, or just learn vocab words and skip around or choose whatever wordsets I wanted.

Plus, I live in Saigon and I was tired of learning Northern pronunciations / words when that wasn't the city I lived in, so I focused on entirely southern pronunciation and word choices.

App is here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/learn-vietnamese-saigon/id6760660442

If you end up using it, please DM with what works for you or what you want changed, and I can ship updates to the app store very quickly. There's also a report button on virtually every page in case you see something wrong or a grammar mapping or usage note that could be improved. It's Southern Vietnamese now, but I will be adding more languages very soon.

Thanks!

EDIT: Got some people already, if you have any issues with the code just DM me happy to help.

EDIT 2: WOW!!!! That was... a lot of people who used the code. I had to take it down but hopefully all of you who were able to use it, I'll reach out for feedback. Thanks again, and please by all means if you're looking for an app to learn Saigon Vietnamese, I hope you check it out! You can still do the free trial for a week for those who want to try it out.

Tìm người phiên dịch muốn kiếm thêm thu nhập vào cuối tuần — sinh viên được chào đón

Tôi sẽ tham dự một khóa học tiếng Việt 2 ngày vào cuối tuần này. Tôi đã biết nội dung khóa học rồi; tôi tham dự chủ yếu để nhận chứng chỉ. Vì vậy, tôi cần một người ngồi bên cạnh có thể dịch sang tiếng Anh, nhưng đây không phải là công việc dịch thuật nặng. Chỉ cần dịch các hướng dẫn cơ bản và giúp tôi theo dõi được luồng chung của khóa học là đủ.

Vì lý do đó, tôi đang tìm một sinh viên đang học tiếng Anh, hoặc ai đó tương tự, muốn kiếm thêm một chút tiền vào cuối tuần. Tuy nhiên, cho đến nay tôi vẫn chưa tìm được ai.

Có vẻ như có rất nhiều kênh để tiếp cận mọi người, nhưng trên thực tế chúng không hoạt động. Ví dụ, có rất nhiều nhóm Facebook với thành viên là người Việt, nhưng các bài đăng hoặc không bao giờ được duyệt hoặc đôi khi bị từ chối tự động. Tôi thậm chí đã thử đăng bài với những từ ngữ đơn giản nhất có thể và không thêm bất kỳ thông tin liên lạc nào, nhưng những bài đó vẫn không được duyệt hoặc bị từ chối ngay lập tức. Tôi tự hỏi liệu có vấn đề gì với tài khoản của mình không, nên đã nhờ người bạn Việt Nam đăng thay, nhưng họ cũng không đăng được. Những nhóm này có hàng trăm nghìn thành viên, vậy mà chúng tôi vẫn không thể đăng một thứ đơn giản như vậy.

Vì vậy, đến thời điểm này, tôi vẫn chưa tiếp cận được người mà tôi đang tìm. Tôi cũng chưa thể đăng bài trong bất kỳ nhóm sinh viên nào để nói rằng tôi đang tìm kiếm ai đó. Nếu ai biết tôi có thể sử dụng kênh nào hoặc làm thế nào để tiếp cận được người phù hợp, tôi thực sự rất biết ơn.
