notice that recently many has the intention of settle down in Vietnam

of cos language and culture are 2 big issues u will face

but i can tell something base on my own experience

residing permantly in Vietnam is not the same as coming here mthly for a few days trip.

and many think that living in Hcmc is cheap..well,it is cheap provided u live and eat like a normal Vietnamese.

it will not be cheap if u gonna stay here with a Sinkie lifestyle as luxury items are generally more expensive in Hcmc.

for those that has intention of residing permantly in Hcmc..think best is try staying here for at least 3 mths first before having any other plans.
