Singapore seemed a little to squeaky-clean and expensive, so I did the same thing, but in Vietnam instead. Internet infrastructure here isn't great but other than that I haven't regretted it for a second. The U.S. and Europe just seem so boring now when I go back.
- seri 15y agoI'm Vietnamese, so I get a little curious here. Would you mind sharing what you particuarly like about Vietnam? And which city are you living in?
- cageface 15y agoI'm in Nha Trang. I love the food, the friendly people, the beautiful beaches and the countryside. It's also very cheap to live here so I have a lot of personal runway to work on my own projects before I have to consider getting a real job again or consulting for somebody else. It's a perfect place for a little hacker sabbatical.

- vpdn 15y ago> Internet infrastructure here isn't great I was in Vietnam last year for a longer trip (worked remotely for a client in Germany). I found the internet to be working extremely well in Saigon, so it might just be your region. For two weeks I worked off Phu Quoc Island. A few times, we had power outage on the island, yet I was able to go online through my 3g connection. Pretty amazing change compared to the last time I visited he country four years back to visit my grand family.
- cageface 15y agoI haven't tried 3G here yet. WIFI in hotels is generally very slow and unreliable here. Now that I have my own DSL line things are better. It's not always fast enough for video chat but for routine use it's fine.
