Hello. I am a retired teacher living in Florida but looking for a new adventure. Vietnam has always been a land of mystery for me, and I am interested in living there to see how life moves in that country. As a teacher, I have saved a reasonable amount of money, but would like to live where that money will stretch furthest. I am curious about which sections of Ho Chi Minh City I should live in. Are there rentals near beaches that are affordable? Is it wiser to live closer to the city center? These are just a few opening questions as I plan my move. Any help will be highly appreciated.
