Vietnam is notoriously opaque to outsiders. This is a community where you can ask questions, and hopefully get answers.

For example, where to buy a thing, how to attend a wedding, living and working here, what food to eat, and whatever else you might want to know.

Don't ask how to commit crimes though. That will get you banned.

Don't be worried that there aren't many posts yet. I check in here and will answer -- maybe others will too, eventually.

I immigrated to Vietnam in ~2012, started a software company in HCMC, got married here, etc.

So mostly I know this city very well, and also a few things about paperwork, laws, and taxes. Also where to eat, things to avoid, and how to do all the things that tourists do. I can also answer questions about daily life, culture, what the workplace is like, and so on.

I read and speak Vietnamese poorly. I get by, but don't expect me to translate anything super well.

I also know my way around Da Nang, Phan Thiet, Vung Tau, and Hoi An somewhat.

No worries! There's not really any traffic right now, so feel free to just ask random stuff if you're curious.
