We're Moving to VIETNAM

In this travel vlog series we've moved to Vietnam! We explain the process in getting the cats out of Turkey and into Vietnam. We quickly show you what we traveled with and our AirBnB. Then we move into our new accommodation in Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City. We go out for a late lunch and have some Asia food at a local food court in Vietnam's tallest building Landmark 81. Join us in this series as we showcase our 12 months living in Vietnam. If you have any questions about moving here please comment below, we'd love to hear from you.

Well thank you, awesome to have you back. Wow we might have been living in Turkey 🇹🇷 back then. And we’re just in the process of moving again this week, though only across the city of Ho Chi Minh.

[@oliviabethofort5546]

Noticeably, most of Vietnamese dishes are served along with a heap of fresh vegetables and herbs. This quality is hardly found in many cuisines around the world.

[@girlsontheloose1]

Yes, you are right. So fresh and crisp, such a lovely mix of salty and sweet too.

[@TheRebornofSocialVietSub]

You are right, Vietnamese food was the most healthy food in the world compared to western food. In small portions, the savoriness and sweetness of mắm, fish sauce, and MSG can make you double drink per meal.

[@girlsontheloose1]

Exactly!

[@coffeetogoplease]

Hi! I really love your channel. Have been following you guys for a year now. I'm moving to vietnam myself this september. Amongst othersc, I looked at the building(s) that you've shown in this video. And wondering how its like regarding noise? (from outside / upstairs neighbours etc). Thanks and will keep following your adventures 😁

[@girlsontheloose1]

Thanks for watching and great to hear from you. Most newer apartments have better insulation, older cheaper ones don't. Yes, there can be noise from the street, especially be sure NOT to get a place near a karaoke establishment. They are very noisy.

If and in case you are familiar with Spanish pronunciation of the letter N~, Any Vietnamese words that starts with NH has the similar sound like the Spanish N~, like "Seniorita". Also, any words that stars with PH would pronounce like "F". Enjoy your extended stay in my native homeland, the beautiful Vietnam and the great foods/cuisines.

[@leeclark2953]

My partner met you both a couple days ago at CG. We were wondering how difficult it was to get the cats into VN and what documentation you need? There doesn't seem to be alot of information on how to do this in VN. We have two dogs and will bring them with us at the end of October

[@girlsontheloose1]

Hi Lee, yes I remember meeting you, how lovely! Our cats had all vaccinations as required by Vietnam and we got an export permit from Turkey to leave Turkey and to say the cats were "clean". On arrival in Vietnam the guy at customs just looked at our paperwork and cats and waved us through. I don't think this always happens though and may be different for dogs, especially as I guess your dogs will be in cargo, our cats were in the cabin with us. One of the biggest things to be aware of is booking your pets with your airline and having all the docs the airline requires. Vietnam doesn't really require much, so that part is pretty easy. Good luck!

[@leeclark2953]

Thanks for watching Magdy and we recommend you make the change and come out to Vietnam. However, I can not give advice on whether you can find a job or not as I don't know you nor the labour market here. We suggest you search some job boards and see if your qualifications match what they're looking for. Good luck and let us know if you come over.

[@phanle2870]

Ofcourse, sure you can find a job in a health care center, especially in serveral international hospital for example Viet-France hospital or Vinmec which have the same owner with Landmark 81!

You can check out whatever you have in mind regarding moving to VietNam with the VietNam embassy in Ankara for the best and accurate answer. Also check out with the embassy if you need an equivalent license of practice as an physician. Best wishes.

Pet control in Vietnam doesn't exist, that's why you feel a little bit easy to get your cat in without a question or check out your pet heath care.

Well that was a nice experience for us because we were so tired and the cats just wanted to get out their bags as you can imagine, more than 15 hours in a bag, phew! Anyway, our cats have had all the right vaccinations and treatments so are safe and clean, and we also had the govt paperwork as well :)

[@jinthpimp]

So, I wasted my time watching this lengthy video without a price breakdown. I just saw a weird cat fetish, vegetarian lifestyle and a sum zero. Thanks.

[@girlsontheloose1]

Well firstly, very odd that you feel that way. No. 1 the video was about the move to Vietnam and about 5 minutes of a 37 min video included scenes and/or talk of our cats. Afterall, it's our channel and about our move and our cats were part of that. Many people are interested in taking cats across borders. You'll note that in the comments. Secondly, there wasn't one vegetarian dish in the video, so not sure what you were watching. And thirdly, we didn't feel it was necessary to mention the price, but if you were interested you could look through the comments and/or make your own nice comment and ask. Being unfriendly won't get you far in life.

[@jinthpimp]

@@girlsontheloose1 Thanks for the response. First off expense is insanely important especially pertaining to pets, rent, food when considering moving to a country over seas. Second I do not look at he comments because they did not make a video, hence 2nd hand info that means nothing factually. Third comments were made about being "good" when eating out reflecting a vegetarian lifestyle. Third I was not being unfriendly, just pointing out you left out obvious gaps in information viewers would like to know. So those looking for simple facts that you could have mentioned, you did not - so you wasted time. Just STATE, the cost to move my cat from A to B, or cost this much to live here. THAT is what most people are looking for.

[@girlsontheloose1]

@@jinthpimp well it's not bc you're the only person who has said this. You might like to put your time into our more recent video Rent Guide as there and right now we are mentioning prices. Also another guide on renting we did a while back that also mentions prices renting in Vietnam.
