Living in Vietnam …

When people come to Vietnam and want to experience all the great things they hear … food, cheap apartments, traffic, beaches, seafood …

In 3 – 5 months, the honeymoon period is over. You become a local and worry like everyone else as a Vietnamese. As a 2nd gen I worried as much or more than a local.

The news is China, China, China. What are the terms? What the Fortune 500 companies are doing in the World? Where to upskill for the future?

The visitors come here turn fast into Vietnamese thinking and mentality as the crushing world weighs them down. Vietnam being in development stages lacks this and that.

Internet is good, Cell service is great! But lack of diversity compared to USA and Canada and world tech and cheap tech is hard to come by regularly.

…

So yes. You got to be an expert. That is all you can really focus on. Being an expert in your field if you want to thrive as a individual.

…

But this is a cool thinking game … If Vietnamese are the people you turn into while in Vietnam (An Giang/Funan) … What do I turn into living in Oshawa? Iroquois.

So the people selling you your coffee at the local coffee shop are Iroquois acting ‘Commonwealth/White British’ … they don’t like everyone who isn’t Iroquois really. But welcome them to maintain the infrastructure.
