Vietnam is world renowned for their delectable cuisine, pristine coastlines, and of course the beauty of their women. But trying to decide which city to live in can be tough. As a foreigner touching down on Vietnam, its hard not to feel like a kid in a candy store with so many options on where to stay in Vietnam.
In fact, in the last few decades, money has been pouring into the city mainly from Japan and Korea. What this means is that out of all the cities in Vietnam, you can expect to find the highest concentration of hot Vietnamese girls here and more will continue to pour into the city, seeking better opportunities. In addition to this, Ho Chi Minh City is the most foreigner friendly city out of all the cities in Vietnam due to the previous French and American presence here.
Despite the city being the most expensive city in all of Vietnam, cost of living for a foreigner is relatively cheap. A huge difference! Your biggest expense by far will be accommodations here.

Then head over to Bui Vien street. Then head over to Phu My Hung. Looking to relax and escape the afternoon heat? Go inside one of the thousands of air conditioned cafes here in the city. New shopping malls are springing up every year, and a new subway line is on course for opening next year which will greatly help alleviate the atrocious traffic congestion here in the city.
Everywhere you go, delicious food is readily available for cheap prices. There is an expat scene here in the city, mainly focused in the areas of district 2 or district 7. To further deter you from staying away from those areas, food prices tend to be a lot higher in those districts too. A banh mi sandwich that you could buy for around 15k in a local district will cost upwards of 30k vnd in those neighborhoods.
