Cost of living is far cheaper, and the quality of life is better! After some basic economic calculations, my standard of living in Saigon is at least 4x more than that of America.So much more ambition here in the youth, and they’re open, friendly, smile a lot, and not pretentious. Here the young kids hustle hard, they all have part time jobs while studying at university, and many have big dreams to either live, study, or work abroad.

I love the youth culture here: Most of the young people are highly motivated, optimistic and positive! The youth culture in America is a bit weird young people try too hard to be cool, look cool, or act cool.I enjoy my morning workouts, and also having small talk with the guys in the park in either Vietnamese or English. I go walk around the park, smile at the beautiful verdant green trees and say hello to the other guys working out at the park. For example when I wake up, and go walk to the park, I already wave and say hello to 5 hotel staff (all super friendly). I like how I can interact with so many people here on a daily level.No desire to buy a new car (it’s easier to taxi and ride Uber/Grab here), and no American fantasy dream of buying a house to distract me (I would prefer living in a hotel over owning a home, because of the complication associated with maintaining a home). I cannot accrue and buy more stuff, because there’s literally no space to put it.

I live in a hotel while in Saigon, which simplifies life. Why? Let me share:Īt marou chocolate in Saigon with Cindy and Jennifer.
