did you know a cup of beer is cheaper
than a water bottle in vietnam if this
reason hasn't convinced you that vietnam
is a great place to travel and live let
me tell you 10 other reasons why you
should move to vietnam
1. low cost of living the cost of living
in vietnam is fairly cheap compared to
other countries the average price for a
one bedroom apartment in the city like
hanoi is about 200 to 500
depending on the location quality and
the services that come with the room
you can also enjoy delicious street food
for less than one dollar and a regular
meal ranges from two dollars to five
dollars
even when you go out to eat the value
added tax is included and you are not
required to tip in vietnam unless you
want to
besides affordable food and
accommodation is super cheap to get
around the city too
there are a lot of ride sharing apps out
there such as scrap gojack b etc and you
expect to pay around five dollars for
every 10 kilometers
the best thing that i have yet mentioned
is how affordable the services in
vietnam are you can enjoy a relaxing
massage session and only have to pay
around eight to twenty dollars and a
full set nail service for ladies it's
around ten dollars five times cheaper
than the us

monthly costs of living in vietnam in

number two motorbike culture
there are currently around 50 million
motorcycles in vietnam making it the
country with the fourth highest number
of motorcycles in the world
most of the foreigners who live in
vietnam said that they love the freedom
to hop on motorbikes and go wherever
they want is a vehicle of choice for
most vietnamese people since it can
easily go through traffic by lane
splitting during rush hour and is very
affordable you can rent a motorbike for
50 to 75 dollars per month and expect to
spend 10 on gas monthly by just riding
around the city
also if you have any problems with your
bikes mechanic shops are everywhere in
vietnam and sometimes the locals fix it
for you for free that's how friendly
vietnamese people are
talking about people vietnamese are not
only hospitable but they are extra
caring if you come to a restaurant in
vietnam don't be surprised if they give
you extra meat because vietnamese people

generous students are hardworking and
