WhyNa:Thank you for the updates, can we have more when you have time to write. Apart from learning to ride a bike and learning their language, is there any other thing to do while waiting for school resumption ?. Is there any historical sites in Hanoi, I know Asians love preserving their historical sites. What about their healthcare ?. Your contract of employment, does it cover your health needs and do you pay for health insurance ? On a lighter note, let me ask you, what I should have asked Google, do they have a monolithic culture and language. Thank you. 2 Likes |

Soknown: Yes there are lots of historical sites here. I'm not really into those things but maybe one of these days, I'll visit some of them. Vietnam is also known for it's tourist centers so there's always always an influx of westerners here on a daily. many have decided to stay back, others spend a couple of days or weeks. The Tay Ho area is their abode. Just like idi-araba in lagos or Ama awusa in owerri. There are lots of things to do and learn here. It all depends on what interests you I haven't had a reason to visit the hospital and I pray I don't anytime soon. Yes most schools have health insurance as one of the benefiits. Just ask your employer or read the contract. Yes. to the best of my knowledge, they have a monolithic culture and language. It may be too soon to deduce this anyway but I'll say yes. religion wise, I think there's about 3. Extra: They love massages here. There is a massage palour on almost every corner...even those that come with happy endings Edit: They actually aren't monolithic. There are about 52 ethnic groups but majority are known as the Viets. They account for more than half of the population. 41 Likes 1 Share |

Some more updates..... Internet is free here. Your room comes with internet. When you're in a public place, say a gym or restaurant, you can request for wifi password. Some write it and paste on the wall. I no longer download movies, I just watch online and there's no interuption. I've said it before that things are cheap here. Was going to upload some pictures with prices but some people deem it fit to ban me anyhow ontop something I'm not being paid for. One year gym subsription is as low as 28k naira. A very big fish, those very big ones they sell specially in lagos is just about 700 naira here. 10 big eggs is about 300 naira. Things are sold per kg here. Remember to price Lagos style. If the price be like say e too much, then it's too much. Walk away to the next store and sure enough it would be cheaper. There are the honest ones who tell you straight up the price. Some would try to rip you off especially those mamas. Things are cheaper in the market than the supermarket so try to buy things from the market. Some things are cheaper in the supermarket plus there's no language barrier and prices are fixed and you have a variety of options. Ask ask ask for help when you are in malls and need to buy a product but don't know the section or can't read the labels. Or when you need to find out something. Some of them speak little English. I always start with "Do you speak English" They are always willing to help. If you don't find one who can speak English, use google tranlate. They will willingly type back and assist you Their food is really nice. Never say never, try it out and you'll find out that 95% of the time, you'll enjoy it. You could spend a month trying out different types of food here. At least for the next one week after you arrive here, you'll be eating out so get ready to try new dishes and use chopsticks. I got the hang of it on the 3rd day. Now I have one fork and 4 chopsticks There are lots of street food sellers here and they are cheaper and tastier too. there's also KFC and the likes if you don't want to go local Pork is their main protein here but there's also beef which is a little expensive. But there's fish which I already told you guys is cheap and there's chicken. Fruiits are in abundance here and different types too. I've counted up to 10 and they don't seem to be seasonal. They also have lots of vegetables here. Someone asked if Hanoi is developed. Yes Hanoi is developed. It's the Capital city. So is Ho Chi Minh, Da nang (This is the beach city), Hai Phong, Lao Cai. Ha long, These are the ones I can say for now. Houses come fully furnished here too. The degree of the furnishing sometimes determine how expensive. Like does it have a washing machin, TV, rice cooker, pots and plates, etc. If you're the type that doesn't eat sticky rice, you might have a little problem here as that's the way their rice is. Still looking for the ones they said they export to Naija. The one I currently use isn't too bad. It just needs to be cooked on low heaat with little water. Just like their rice, their noodle takes just 1 or 2 minutes to cook if not, akamu straight up! Like you'll stand there and rice don done. Not the Naija one you cook forever. Their detergent/liquid soap is foamy. Thank God I used some to wash my undies and socks before using it in the washing machine. I for don resemble Mr. Bean with lots of foam coming out of the washing machine and me looking confused SN: Learning to ride a bike is kinda difficult. I'm finding it hard keeping my balance. I tend to tilt to one side and feel like the bike is about to fall. Any ideas/advice? Edit: My bike is automatic 71 Likes 8 Shares |
