Pros & Cons of Living In Vietnam?

Pros:

-A lot of cheap stuff and nice people

-Nice weather

Cons:

-Communist, if they were gone it would be better just like the fall of Berlin Wall...

I've been working and staying in Vietnam for 7 years. Currently back to my own country. As a foreigner and personal point of view:-

PROs:-

If you are a bachelor, the first initial years would be an enjoyable period if you are from a developed country. There are so many things to experience eg crossing the road with so many bikes driving around, the living environment where houses are close to each other, the vietnamese foods, the drinking pubs with friendly staff, the differences between south/central/north vietnam etc etc.

CONs:-

Communication issues with Vietnamese as they seems to have their own set of thinking, hence could be tough to really blend in with them, even for foreigner husband and vietnamese wife. After a while, staying in vietnam on a longer period could create stress as you will be no longer enjoying those initial years of enjoyment as the working environment/government bureaucracy/people/bikes/pollution doesn't seems to improve much..

Anyway, do try and I'm sure it will be a great experience....

I lived in Vietnam for six months for an internship.

THE PROS: the Sun, friendly and smiling people, the price of life which is really really really really cheap, amazing food, crazy parties, beautyfull girls, beautyfull nature, a huge culture to discover.

THE CONS: There will always be a wall between vietnamese pple and foreigners, you are never really integrated.

For my opinion Vietnam is a great place to live.

Pro: beautiful scenery, wonderful people, one of the few peoples that know their heritage.

Con: "big brother" (communism) is always watching, freedom of religion, lack of opportunity for foreigners, only one language

Pros: nice country, cost of living is cheap, friendly.

Cons: No freedom of speech, corruption in every level of government, pollute, crime in big city
