TQ Dannysg for highlighting the traffic matter. True, the traffic is terrible and seriously, you are not advise to drive on your own because the driving culture of the VN is totally different from the rest of the world. Imagine, in Hanoi the populated is around 7-8 million but the motorbikes or scooters are about 4-5 million!!! As for food, try to cook yourself if possible. It will save you a great deal of money. Have a good journey and keep your mind open and it maybe not as bad as I have said.dannysg wrote:The language barrier is a huge disadvantage for an expat to look for cheap accommodation and food. Another thing is the traffic, Vietnam traffic is one of the most dangerous in the world, so keep in mind that you always have to be extremely careful when you are on the street. After living there for some time, try to make friends with the local. Most of the working professionals can speak basic English. You will have more chance to look for more affordable accommodation and nicer food. All the best to your journey to Vietnam. I am sure you will have a lot of valuable experiences
