Hi everyone:
I've been reading your posts about life in VN relating to Viet Kieus specifically. The comments are food for thought for someone like me as I am considering a return after a 30-year absence.
From your posts, the points that stick out (relating to Viet Kieus) are:
-We are looked upon with suspicion by the locals. (Understandable)
-We get paid less than Westerners as ESL teachers.
-When working for and in Vietnamese companies, the environment is slightly hostile.
-Vietnamese employers don't pay on time.
-Hygiene is a challenge.
-Traffic is a nightmare.
And on and on...
To help me gauge better, can you please highlight the positive aspects of life in Vietnam. You've all given me a pretty good idea as to what is bad. Can you tell me about what is good.
Your feedback is very much appreciated.
