What is a good gift for someone from Vietnam?

Cham weaves… threads, vibrant stories. Tribal Textiles, Chau Doc, a slow dance of color. Looms sing. Silk whispers. Ah, silk… smooth against skin, shimmering secrets.

What is the most profitable business to start?

Profitable ventures? Software reigns supreme. High margins. Scalable.

Real estate? Solid, but capital-intensive. Requires local knowledge. My cousin lost his shirt in 2023.

Ecommerce? Brutal competition. Marketing costs. Logistics nightmares. I tried, failed.

Consulting? Niche expertise critical. Networking crucial. My network? Small.

Digital marketing? Fluctuating. Client dependency. Algorithmic whims.

Fitness coaching? Demand high, but saturation too. Requires certifications. My gym membership expired.

Key factors: Demand. Scalability. Capital requirements. Personal skills.

• High-growth sectors: AI, biotech, sustainable energy (2024 trends).
• Lower barrier to entry: Home services. Freelancing. But lower margins.
• Risk tolerance: High-risk, high-reward ventures exist. Gambling not recommended.

Profitability is relative. Success depends on execution, not just the idea.

Is it cheaper to buy luxury goods in Vietnam?

Vietnam: Luxury land or luxury landfill? Let’s be honest, the allure of cheaper luxury is tempting, like a siren song sung by a very well-dressed, very thrifty mermaid. Lower import taxes play a significant role; it’s like the universe is conspiring to help your shopping addiction.

But hold your horses, darling. While prices might be kinder than in, say, Switzerland (where even the squirrels wear designer scarves), brand, item, and location remain the wild cards. A Chanel bag in Hanoi isn’t automatically a steal. You could still pay a king’s ransom.

Think of it this way: it’s a high-stakes game of luxury roulette. Sometimes you win big, other times, well, you’re left wondering if that discounted Gucci belt was worth the questionable street vendor encounter.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Pros: Potentially lower prices, exciting shopping adventures! (Especially if you like haggling, my personal favorite hobby).
• Cons: Counterfeit market abounds – the risk of buying a fake Hermès scarf is high enough to give you palpitations. Authenticity verification is key. Plus, some brands might actively limit discounts in specific regions.

My sister, bless her heart, scored a phenomenal deal on a Prada bag in Ho Chi Minh City last year. But my cousin, less fortunate, got burned buying a “Rolex” that looked suspiciously like it was crafted from tin foil.
