"Expats in Vietnam often appreciate the hospitality and warmth of the local people, as well as the cultural diversity that exists in this diverse country. The national cuisine and traditional dishes, such as Pho and Banh Mi, are also frequently enjoyed by expats living in Vietnam. The affordability of living in Vietnam is also appreciated by many expats, as well as the vibrant city life and the prevalence of outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking and exploring the rural landscape. The sheer natural beauty of the country, from its mountain and coastal regions to its cultural heritage, is also celebrated by expats in Vietnam," said a member in Vietnam.
