Hello everyone,
First I'd like to say this is an amazing website full of useful information. I've been reading it everyday since I discovered it.
I'm looking for adventure, so I'm planning on moving to Vietnam next year. Everybody is talking about Saigon and how great it is for expats, but I'm wondering, are there other cities just as good?
Saigon seems great, but it seems to be the most expensive city with many tourists and high prices. I'm looking for:
- Low cost living: I don't need fancy stuff, I can be fine with an average lifestyle.
- Not looking to work locally, as I don't need it
- A place with enough English or French speaking people to make some friends ( I speak both)
- A place with a low rate of crime
I don't go to the restaurant often, club often and I'm not a big spender, all I need is access to the Internet and a gym with barbells.
So in your opinion, what would be the best city for me? Saigon, Hanoi, Da nang...
Thanks and looking forward to meet some of you there.
