  • In this video, I discuss living as a Black expat in Vietnam during the Covid-19 pandemic, and I compare it to when I lived in Thailand as a Black expat. I also share some wild stories from my day-to-day life living in Vietnam.

    You had the entire room laughing when you was sharing your story. You said 'pass' , I'm good, when you was going through the food options. when you showed us the guard on the outside of the room. They don't play with Covid-19. 🤣🤣One Love❤Thanks for sharing♥

    When you're abroad, intelligence and appearance are crucial, particularly when you only ever see someone on television or in a movie Take care and God bless

    Seems like they were just being very careful. It's as much for your protection as theirs. I can relate though to being in one room for two weeks. That would be pretty hard to handle.

    Michelin Guide in Vietnam maybe a difficult task to do because there are just sooo many restaurants, so many street foods, and so many different regional specialty foods from North to South. 😊 There are just endless choices of foods in Vietnam 😊😋❤

    Is it easy to find work in Vietnam as an American?

    • @FreedomofPhotography
      @FreedomofPhotography  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The Vietnamese company, or any foreign company, has to prove they can't find local talent to fill the position. That's when they reach out to foreign, specialized candidates; I am one of those specialized candidates who couldn't be found within Vietnam. So, if you're looking to work and live for an extended time outside your home country, make sure it's in a specialized field. These opportunities are more readily available in developing countries like LATAM (Latin America), APAC (Asia Pacific Region), and parts of Africa and Oceania. As an American, it's difficult to get a work visa in Europe.

    Which would be best? Hanoi or Ho chi minh ? For culture, learning the language, food and dating(for a black male)?

    • @FreedomofPhotography
      @FreedomofPhotography  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The food is better in the south. The culture is better in the north. Dating is plentiful all over the country. Stick to the bigger cities if you don't speak Vietnamese.

      Saigon (HCMC) is a great place to visit, especially for younger people.
      Hanoi is a great place to visit, especially for older people.
      But Da Nang is the hidden Paradise if you want to _Live_ in Vietnam.
      Trust me.

    Vietnam is a country that does not have the concept of deeply distinguishing between people's ethnic background, religion, or political views. On the other hand, they perceive behavior according to age, or gender, or marital status
