  cultural difference
  language difference(they don't speak english well)
  travel expenses(airplane ticket to go to vietnam, USA, France, Germany, etc...)
  International telephone calls every day

  the culture difference i think still ok, for me the main thing is distance.
  
  someone (from this forum incidentally, dunno if he posts anymore) asked me, would u rather know in ur heart that both are truly and mutually in love and this love spans across thousands of kilometres OR be (physically) together but never knowing wat the other party feels?
  
  u know wat my ans was? i want the good from BOTH parts.. the love, and the proximity. u know why? becos i CAN have both.
  
  i'm just being fair to myself, and to the other party, whoever she may be.

  Absolutely not. For example, I am overseas, and BGR never works for me, so there.

  LoL... men@arms u're pessimistic sia.
  
  Actually at firsti saw this thread title i thot it was about Long Distance Relationship, i.e. your Singaporean bf or gf is going overseas for long period of time, will the relationship still work?
  
  Chey, then become foreigner bf/gf.... thought wat.
  Btw, i noticed it's quite a taboo for Chinese to come back home wif caucasian bf/gf. WOnder why. Bet your mama sure got warn u before never to bring home ang moh bf/gf or she'll disown u, rite?
