MODERATORS
I lived in Hanoi Vietnam for just over a year, but that was 15 years ago. It was incredible. It's a lovely place with lovely people and amazing food. It's not without it's problems (no freedom of press/speach, relatively poor air quality, etc.), but overall it was a nice place to live.
Did you ever work there?
I worked there, yes.
Seems nice, would you ever recommend it over places like Egypt turkey or South Africa?
I've never been to Turkey or South Africa, and I've only ever been to an airport in Egypt so that's not a fair assessment.
I can say, however, that my overall worldview makes those places unappealing to me compared to Southeast Asia.
