My Life in Viet Nam

Ho Chi Minh is a city in Southern Vietnam, famous for the pivotal role it played in the Vietnam War. It's also known for its French colonial landmarks, including Notre Dame Cathedral, which was made entirely of materials imported from France, the the 19th-Century Post Office.  Food stalls line the city's streets, especially around the bustling market.

Ho Chi Minh's nightlife scene varies from one district to another, although venues that play live music close soon after midnight due to Vietnam's rather strict laws.  If you're looking to party in style, District 1's rooftop bars and swanky nightclubs stay open until 3:00 or later, offering excellent service, dance tunes, stylish ambiance, well-dressed crowds, and panaromic views of the vibrant city and beyond.

It is hard to be a Vietnamese student.  They must focus on learning and also still find a part time job to earn enough money to take care of themselves.  In Vietnam there are many schools: universities, international schools, et cetera.  In the past, many Vietnamese parents tried hard to get their children into American schools, or schools in another foreign country.  But these days, there are so many international schools in Vietnam that this is no longer necessary.

If you come to live in Vietnam, you can have a very good  life.  Have you ever considered taking advantage of Indochina's developing job market and start working in Vietnam?  You can work in business, or as an accountant, or in IT, etc...You can live and work overseas. In Vietnam, you can find a job easier than in America.  And in Vietnam, the cost of living is very cheap.  There is a lot of different kinds of food in Vietnam.

But the most important thing is that Vietnamese people are very friendly.  They always welcome foreigners who come to Vietnam.  If you live or work in Vietnam, you will have a simple life and you will have a lot of free time to spend with your family.  The pace of life in Vietnam is much slower than in America.

Actually, if you decided to come to Vietnam, I would be very glad to meet you.  We could meet in Bui Vien Street.  We could drink some beers, eat some Vietnamese food, and just look around at all the people and traffic on the street.  We could listen to music, and share our experiences, or discuss some things about life or our work.
