What do expats in Vietnam appreciate most about the local culture?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they appreciate the most about the local culture in Vietnam. They wrote...
"I love this place. The people are just wonderful, teh food is amazing, everything is super cheap, there is a dynamism about the place and it is great to be a part of a country that is growing rapidly," said another expat in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
"There's always something happening or something to see in Ho Chi Minh City that takes you by surprise. You don't know what you're going to see when you leave the apartment. A lot of entrepeneurs here, who have a positive attitude and we appreciate that alot, having moved from the doom and gloom and miserable attitude in Europe. Also we feel safe in the city and we're able to drive around independently on our scooter - something that can't be said of every city in south east asia," wrote a member who made the move to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
