* Accomodation : there r a lot of rent house you can find here. the cost is depend on what you want about house. dist 2, dist 7 is a luxury area for expat. dist 1 is a centre of hochiminh city, you can find the luxury apartment in dist 1 with rent price about 900 - 1000 usd. or you can find lower price in Phu nhuan dist., dist 3 ......
* Public transportation: motobike is the best choice in hochiminh city. taxi cost is so high , about 20.000 vnd/km. petro price is about 22.000 vnd
* Foods price is about 40.000 vnd
Finally, you will like to live in Viet nam coz you spend less than you earn
Have a good decision!

Difficult to get a job as you need to get a work permit, which requires that you have certified degrees or qualifications now. Or at least 5 years work experience in particular field.
