Additional Details

Living in Ho Chi Minh City & Vung Tau

After 30 years under communist rule, Vietnam has its sights firmly fixed on becoming the next Asian Tiger. The pace of growth is phenomenal, but not without its drawbacks. Traffic, pollution and petty theft are the major gripes of resident expatriates. Although minor on an international scale, they do exist and must be taken into account by anyone wishing to spend time here.

Located in the South of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's second city and the country's economic and commercial hub. Despite its population of 5 million people, HCMC, (also known as Saigon), is not large and maintains a small town atmosphere. Extended periods under French rule have left a city of narrow streets and tree-lined boulevards. Dilapidated colonial villas have been taken over by foreign companies and governmental departments and restored to their former glory.

Vung Tau is approximately 120 km southeast of HCMC, at the mouth of the Mekong River. The town has an average temperature of 28°C and a rainy season which, like HCMC, runs from May through to November. There is some 20 km of coastline of soft-sand beaches in the immediate area, although the beaches close to the city aren’t as nice as those further north, away from the city limits.

In past years Vung Tau was known as a laid back sea-side resort, famous for its fresh seafood and proximity to HCMC. These days, however, Vung Tau is better known as the focal point of the burgeoning oil and gas industry and is home to a host of ex-pat oil workers and their families. Amidst the recent development Vung Tau has refurbished and upgraded it’s pleasant, tree lined seaside walk ways, adding to the charms of this peaceful coastal town. It was and continues to be, an ideal retreat for those tired of big city life.

The Vietnamese are extremely warm and friendly people. Westerners are welcomed and integration into the community is commonplace. Teachers are particularly highly regarded and well respected by the Vietnamese.

General
Practically everything is available in Ho Chi Minh City. Costs vary from with those of the West, but as a general rule of thumb, everyday products are cheaper, especially if produced in Vietnam
