Anyways, from what i know, seems most expats here are married with children. Perhaps the small segment that you were referring to, are fairweather tourists who make seasonal trips. And from my experience, you must be really a ladies man Tuyen coz Japanese and Korean chicks are not that much into Asian looking dudes especially in foreign lands. This is a fact that my Japanese and Korean female friends attest.
FTV is pretty cool. Just too many poseurs and kids. Somehow, i do miss the Parisian and Singaporean club scene. Good music at least...
Bros out there, any place i could head to catch good music like those you get in places like MOS?

Korean are the biggest expat group in Vietnam and there is a whole lot of them in the clubs almost everyday. Jap singles work in hotels on their japan desk and likewise, are a party bunch.
Just wanna share the concept of "kuta cowboys" , a well known social behaviour in Bali. All the jap, korean, aussies and now russian chicks 1st priority are the kuta beach boys when they are in bali. The ang mohs and other south east asian boys are 2nd rated. 2 times, me and my pal bought drinks for the jap girls only to find that the jap girls will move to the local bali boys and then buy them drinks instead! Haha...if you look it holistically, we were like buying the bali boys drinks. The last time i went back, we did a ta team and now, everytime we are at double 6 in bali, both locals and singaporeans end up happy! In Vietnam, it is the same except that they are more inclined towards more cosmo background rather than the local viet boys. Hence, this theory of Asian man for jap & korean girls is definetly possible. I was just in Muine this weekend and me and my hongkong buddy had us a korean fanfare at their own rooms. 2 korean girls from saigon taking a break there as well. Looks like with luck , timing and breaking the mindset , the impossible is really possible.
If you want to meet a korean chick, try out the hair saloons, they hang out there. There is 1 at pastuer beside lim's restuarant 54 pastuer road. The owner is Yuri , a korean and she is fun girl to be out with.
For music, Lush is your best bet for solid club music. Ask Thao, the door bitch which day is good for the genere you like. R&B is usually the best bet(sundays and thursdays) for some bump grinding. She also has the exclusive to all the big parties in town as well. For some nice dancing and soul bassa music , try Cage, 3A Ton Duc Thang. A small alley leads you to it. Try the other 2 places i shared in An Phu, nice joint to pick up people, housewifes especially..really a la desperate housewife espisode.Haha.
Seriously, in Vietnam, go international if you have the time. So many charities workers, school teachers(really hot) all looking for someone to show them a good time. The other untapped market i think is the chinese girls working in the embassy here. I bumped into them at the supermarket the other day, strike up a conversationa n they were lamenting about the lack of good food, eye candy and good conversation.
Oh well....i guess only time will tell.
