Vietnam is a very special country with so much to offer. To make this video balanced, I go over not only the positives of moving to VN, but I also highlight some of the possible drawbacks.

I moved here 2.5 years ago, love it here.. just wished I moved here 15 years ago- just hate the traffic. Live in D12- so much fun, and cost of living- it's amazing- I eat out everyday-could never have done that in USA

[@BigTimeBentley]

nice yeah it's really an amazing place

[@davidj7516]

Thank you for your time and posting. You can now play pickleball in HCMC. That's right. :) I'm 70, are the grandmas looking good? ;) I grew up in Van Nuys, it was a great place in the 50s and 60s. The only thing I worry about is renewing the 90-day visa; leaving, coming back, etc. I'll be there in September 2024.

[@AwakenedEntrepreneurship]

I lived in Da Nang, Vietnam for 1.5 years during the pandemic. It turned out one of the best places to get stuck at that time. I didn't like it at first - all the incessant motorbike beeping drove me nuts. Then I got a better place, 5 minutes from the beach, and lived like a local. Of course, a few months in I didn't want to leave. Then they kicked all of us tourists out - had enough of us he he. I miss Vietnam and will be coming back soon. Made some good friends there. Fond memories...

[@BigTimeBentley]

It's great place to be

[@johnalex5466]

Would like to visit. The way they treated people during plandemic makes me not want to live there.

[@AwakenedEntrepreneurship]

@@johnalex5466 I was lucky to have stayed there till July '21, and that's when all hell broke loose there, as I've heard. But before Covid had really hit, it was the best place to be. It is a very collectivist society, unlike the west, so if you want to be there, gotta take that into account. Overall, I think it's good to stay mobile, keep your eyes and ears open, and be ready to move. I wouldn't want to live permanently anywhere at this point - meaning being too invested in one location.

[@vietnamese80]

Vietnam strives to distribute development evenly. The cost in Vietnam is cheap because the country produces food and agriculture is not a big problem, especially the government eliminates a lot of taxes so that people can freely accumulate and freely choose appropriate social security services. suitable for them

[@TomRivieremusic]

I love Vietnam and the people, the food is great. Beaches landscape. Women are very beautiful.

[@kimpham5508]

I’m glad you’re out there helping the Vietnamese people learn English so they can have a better future

[@BigTimeBentley]

I’m happy to help anyone learn anything I have knowledge about. Currently English is the international language of diplomacy, and as such it’s beneficial for non-native English speakers to learn English. But I derive less satisfaction from the actual ‘helping people learn English’ as I do from helping people grow in general. I’m in a uniquely qualified position to teach English to Vietnamese people as I’m an apt native speaker of English, and I’ve been here long enough to understand the nuanced difficulties that native Vietnamese speakers face when learning English. But overall I’m just happy to help people live a better life in general. If that’s teaching them English, that’s great. If that’s making KZbin videos that encourage people to travel and expand their horizons, that’s fantastic too. I hope that my brief presence here on Earth can bring as much joy and happiness to others as possible.

Learning English could be a curse to them. When you know english, you’re more susceptible to mainstream brainwashing against everything that is good for you and your country. Hope the Vietnamese will learn english with this in mind. Never trust foreign news

I’ve also had the opportunity to scout out a few coastal towns like đà Nẳng, Phân Thiếc, Nhà Trang, & Quy Nhơn (am a beach person). I chose VT for now due to its proximity to Saigon. it is not that difficult to move here, especially if you can still speak & read the language, and willing to be a minimalist, so you can travel light. I am currently renting a 1 bedroom condo within 10 min walk to the beach, and has a full, direct view of the beach off my 19th floor balcony for less than $300/month, including all utilities, private wifi, & management fee. I’ve managed to pare down my life into 3 suitcases, and the rest are in storage tubs in my sister’s garage back in the US. I have no desire to own any furniture nor pets, so I can have the freedom to solo travel as much or as little as I like.

Been to Vietnam 7 times since 2017. Last trip was 2023. Everything you mentioned was true. One other negative (although it doesn’t bother me) is locals will give you the “tourist” price if you appear western. For example a dollar extra for a beer or a couple of extra dollars for a taxi. Like I said I really don’t care but for some people it’s a big deal.

We prefer cool weather. We wonder if Dalat May be a good choice ? I grew up in Florida and never got used to the awful heat n humidity. We are traveling to many countries over the next 5-10 years, looking for our favorite retirement city. We are traveling between Mexico and Argentina and currently living in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Our total costs here run about $1100/month for both of us all in.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Dalat definitely has cooler, less humid weather. It's a smaller, relatively more isolated town, so if you prefer big city attractions that may be something to consider. With the current cost of rentals being a bit high in Saigon at the moment, $1100 for two people may work but it may be a little bit tight. You could also consider living in Danang which would be cheaper overall. Good luck with your travels and I hope you enjoy yourselves.

this is true. I once got very sick from street about two months after I moved here from food poisoning. But after I recovered from that, I've been fine eating street food

Recently I'm deciding on Danang Vietnam.. Had a great time every time I've been there and super friendly people even 30 or 40 year younger young ladies super nice invite me to dinner.. Love the beach and visited lady Buddha several times gotta have a rented motorbike Or just use grab car ** I do have a disability that requires me to consume larger amounts of dialysis Solution 12 leaders per day.. This it's critical to never run,out So I'm looking for the supplier there but I don't know any drug store that are big.. Any advice Is much appreciated 🙏🙏

[@BigTimeBentley]

Danang is a great place. Very relaxed vibes and friendly people. I don't have any specific advise on dialysis solution.

Damn...you can watch your shirt get sweat soaked in real time as the video progresses. Dry at first. Wet at the end. Thats nuts!

Haha the humidity got me. In fairness I was out there for about an hour and change at noon in the sun

How does Vietnam compares to Bangladesh?

[@joyvee7432]

I feel like i am more in Hanoi than Saigon..since all I want is to travel and eat. I feel like Saigon is a big city that i need to walk around to eat. Unlike in Hanoi you walk outside hostel and food is in every steps

[@mike.t868]

Hi - I'm currently in Saigon doing the online Ninja Teacher course. Would you be open to meeting for coffee some time?

[@BigTimeBentley]

Hope you enjoy the Ninja teacher course! Sure we can do that. My schedule is a bit hectic at the moment but when I have some free time we can meet up.

it sounds impressive he says "cà phê sữa đá" can you hear within it a vowel which English don't use ? it is the one in "sữa" "ưa" = "ươ" = "a vowel which English don't use"

Dấu ngã , nặng và huyền của VN khó nói lắm. Gặp những từ trẹo cả lưỡi thì 1 thử thách đối với người nước ngoài. Cũng giống như cách mình nói ngôn ngữ bản địa của ngta, sẽ có tình trạng đó xảy ra

[@joyvee7432]

I went to Hanoi in 2012 and Vietnam is the country I am longing for to go back again. Maybe 2025. I dont want to go back again in HK, Thailand (been to Phuket and Bangkok), Kuala Lumpur Malaysia twice.

Vietnam is a great place. Hanoi is a cool city

I live in th US and every day I get email scam and teller marker scam and its very annoying. But in the past I get towing scam, taxi scam, car repair scam, and even hotel scam when the hotel host get your debit card number while checking in. And make a separate personal charge using your debit card number online. This happen in the great USA. My lost with US moneys is way more than the Vietnamese Dong that you lost.

Please let me know if french teachers are in demand. I'm in Canada and i will be data scientist next year, is data scientist in demand too? Thank you for your video :)

[@BigTimeBentley]

Glad you liked the video. I really don’t know anything about the data scientist industry. With regards to the demand for French teachers I know there is at least some demand but it is much smaller than the demand for English teachers. But I would look into it more if I were you because I just really don’t have much experience interacting with French teachers or insight into the French language learning market. Good luck to you!

[@drm8164]

@@BigTimeBentley Thank you for your time, enjoy. I think i will join you after my degree, it looks more nicer place to live then Canada. Take care.
