HeyKarencita! I was looking on KZread "Monthly cost of living Vietnam" and came across your video. So interesting! I made similar cost of living videos on Da Nang, Nha Trang, Saigon and Phu Quoc but your point of view is different and very interesting! I forgot to mention some of the things you said but I will keep it in mind for my next videos! Thanks so much for taking your time to create these videos. I know the time and effort it takes. Espero todo este bien en Mexico!!

You guys are fun! Thanks!🤗

Thanks Arturo! It was very very hot and humid when we first got here. Now we're in November it's much milder. It's still warm but we're not sweating all the time any more. Apparently it'll get very cold soon though.

Hi both, well I can certainly see why you have chosen to live in Vietnam, especially your transport costs! I remember Karen being shocked by how much a taxi was in the Uk. Looking forward to David's video on the different places he has taught and his experiences. Actually, someone was asking me today how many countries David has lived in. Im sure Ive forgotten some, I think people would be surprised! Look after each other x

Can Dave be hired to help with English non native teaching process and finding work? Do you use What’s Ap? Also what do you do as a digital nomad?

There is something I wonder about Vietnam... I am born in Hanoi but I am adopted to Sweden. I had thoughts about how the life is there, in case i would ever return. But, how is it to live there? Just thinking about the society and all, the dictation etc. Like, are you allowed to do stuff or is it super strict?

$500/month? That is almost how much you would pay in some of the cheaper areas in the United States, it's way too expensive for that part of the world...

You need a visa, which means that you need to show that you can do a job that the Vietnamese people who are already here can't do. All native English speakers have a skill that most Vietnamese don't so it's easy to get a visa. If you have another skill that most Vietnamese don't have, look for work in that area.

I don't know about the cheapest place in the world but it's certainly the cheapest place I've ever lived. For me at least, our lifestyle seems very comfortable. We could spend less but I think US$1,200/month for an apartment in the city centre, eating out several times a week, and monthly trips away is very reasonable.
