Let your girlfriend know that you are interested in moving to Vietnam and becoming an expatriate. Ask her about employment, where to live, what kind of housing you could expect. Gauge her reaction to this news. In a country with economic hardships, where women receive strikingly unequal treatment, it's natural to find some women who will seek any outlet out in order to improve their lives. If your girlfriend is sincere and family oriented, it's less likely that she would want to move thousands of miles from her entire family without some serious thought and consideration. She might even be happy that you would be willing to move for her.
Visit her as much as possible and do not even think of marrying this woman until you've known her at least 2-3 years or more. Also be realistic about yourself and this relationship. Are you significantly older than her? Do you two share any real interests at all? Does she seem urgent in pressing a commitment or marriage? Do you have problems meeting/dating women in your own country? How did you meet her?
If it feels too good to be true, or if she's claiming she needs a small loan for her sickly mother in the hospital, your best bet is to walk away.

Why were europeans willing to pay a lotfor products from Asia?
In the Middle Ages the world was a stinky place. Streets were dirty with garbage, animal feces, mud, and all sorts of things. People didn't take baths and didn't wash clothing. The food was over cooked, mushy, rotten, and didn't have much flavor. The products from Asia were things that helped with some of these things. Spices helped make the food better tasting, perfumes made people smell better, and silks were more comfortable to wear compared to the scratchy wool or linens. New foods also introduced to Europe.
