Small house is cosy. Roadside food is delicious. Travel by motorbike is more convenient in VN.
I will not mind lving simply in VN as long as I earn my sg salary.  |
bro. Its difficult for me to explain to you about this `face value' of vietnamese with foreigner husband. Go stay with your gf in Vietnam in that `simple life' for 6 months or more continuously. In the eyes of vietnamese, or normal vietnamese, a foreigner shouldn't live their way. We singaporeans have been living a good life and we feel its nothing wrong to live the normal viet way, but for the normal vietnamese who has never live a good life before, a foreigner living that sort of life for a long time is `disgraceful'. visiting and staying long term is totally different.
