Hi there! Anyone from the lovely UK here? :)

Welcome to Expat-blog, Andrew

For general info about Vietnam, go through the "Life in Vietnam guide".

To be in touch with British nationals in Vietnam, view the British expatriates network in Hanoi.

Hey Andrew,
There's a big and exciting Expat network in Hanoi so no worries! I'm 25 myself and moved here to Hanoi about a year ago. You can always get started teaching English, the salary is equal to and usually better than most other jobs for Vietnamese, so you'll get by just fine. Check out my blog and my "sites" list for lots of great info. and other expat's experiences living in Vietnam.

Hope to see you around!

p.s.-You don't have to know Vietnamese to have a good time here, but...you should learn! Vietnamese people are more than ready to help any time

Hi guys,
My name is Graeme and am from the U.K also. Planning on a new adventure in Vietnam early next year so getting to know expats is important.

I currently live in Bangkok where I teach English conversation.

If you want to meet up that would be great!

I am new in Ha Noi, also. The people is very friendly, and they like foreigners, so enjoy your life here , no worry

Hey Andrew,

You should have absolutely NO problem in Hanoi, provided that you're from England (sorry I'm not being racist here). Everyone will fall in love with you haha. Jobs aren't rare either especially if you have a degree in anything. Otherwise just go teach English lol.

I go back to Hanoi every once in a while and it's a really unique city. Hope you'll like it

There are a lot of lakes, there are 2 the famousest lakes is Hoan Kiem lake and The west lake. You can go and visit Hanoi ancient street. It's a Ideal location for you. There are a lot of foreigners living in there. You can be not too difficult when live in there.

Hi,

Just wanted to say hello to you all .

A little more about me. Well, my name is Andrew and I am planning to move (hopefully) to Hanoi or Hai Phong in the near future mainly because of my girlfriend.  At the moment, I am petrified of moving to a foreign country as I can't speak Vietnamese (at the moment, but learning). I am still young'ish but I am up for the challenge.  I am hoping to use this forum mainly to find out the lifestyle in Vietnam and job opportunities before I make a very BIG commitment.

Thank you for reading my rant and I look forward in using this forum

Andrew
