I also visited the place she and her friend rented to stay. It is a single storey unit in a construction quarter in Q8. She claimed to be about S$100/mth.6 person staying (her bro and ba xa and 3 friends). Although it’s clean, and has water from tap and toilet…which is better than country side. I find the living condition is still CMI…IMHO. I do not know how the poor (my g/f and friends)are able to live in such condition... maybe we have too good life in sillypore..still can have a computer in our own airconditioned room to post forum...

Which province did you visit in the Mekong Delta? My wife is from mekong Delta area too. I agree with you that living conditions in the mekong delta is not too good. They are still very primitive. No proper sanitary facilities, no proper water supply. For bros who do not know, they basically just collect rain water with big clay buckets. The collected water is used for drinking, bathing and every other thing. When i first went to my wife's place several years ago, i was really shocked by the conditions. But its getting used to. After several trips, now i even have a property there. For HCM City, most province people will rent quarters that are quite run down. Main thing is cheap. They basically sleep on the floor and just need a place with toilet. Singaporeans have good life in singapore.
