About prices in Vietnam


Today I am going to talk about Money in Vietnam.
Prices in Vietnam is reasonable for me　.
I mean the cost of living in Vietnam is actually cheap for Japanese.
We can live with just 10$ in one day in Vietnam.
I usually spend money less than 10$ in one day.

Example( This is my ordinal life in Vietnam)
Breakfast: Avocado smoothy 1$
A cup of coffee : 2$
Lunch: at Local restaurant 1$
A cup of tea:    2$
Dinner: at Local restaurant 2$

Total cost is 8$.

That is entirely cheaper than Japan.

Another example.
A bottle of water : 20¢
A beer : 1$
A meal at local restaurant : 2$
A cup of coffee at cafeteria :2$
The starting taxi fee　: 60¢

etc…
That’s why I love Vietnam.

Next i am going to mention about  Vietnamese people’s salary.
The average Vietnamese people’s salary is 300$~500$　in a month.
Even a person who are manager position in a company. 
The person’s salary is about 1000$ in a month.

The average Japanese people’s salary is more than 2500$ ~..
So I feel it is actually cheap compare with Japanese people’s salaries.

One of my vietnamese friend told me
" It is really really expensive for Vietnamese people to have a cup of coffee at Starbucks.”




I am seriously wondering why most of Vietnamese people have iPhone which is new model. I mean iPhone8 or iPhone X.

I guess  it is not easy for them to get iPhone from them salary.
Because the price of iPhone is more than1000$.
It means iPhone is expensive than them salary. It is about more than 3 times of them salary. But they have it.

Even for Japanese people, it is not easy to pay money for iPhone.
Hoever most of Vietnamese people have it. Especially young people.
When i chill at cafeteria,i can see that 90% of Vietnamese people have new iPhone.
Mmm, I am really curious about that.
One of my Vietnamese friend told me
“Having iPhone is actually important for Vietnamese people.
That can prove that I’m not poor like that . That’s why they have it.
They save money for iPhone.”

I am convinced about that a little bit.
If someone knows about that.
Please let me know exactly reason.
How most of Vietnamese people can get new model iPhone which is more about 3times expensive than them average salary.

Thank you so much for reading today .

How do I life in Vietnam

I usually wake up 8am. Then I drink avocado smoothie near my house. It is my breakfast. That is just 30000VDN(1$). It is really reasonable and good for health. Then i go to cafeteria by walk. I work here from 9am to 12pm with my macbook. A cup of tea and coffee are also cheap. Today i ordered a milk tea. It was just 30000VDN(1 $) . (Cheap Cheap :) ) In Vietnam, Coffee is really famous and popular.  There is huge coffee culture in Vietnam. Especially “Vietnamese coffee “ is awesome. Basically Vietnamese coffee is mixed Black coffee and condensed milk. The taste is sweet and bitter a bit. If you try drinking it, you would become addicted. When you visit Vietnam, please try it just once. Most of vietnamese cafeteria have it. At lunch time I went to Japanese restaurant. Today I had  “ Udon”. Udon is one of the traditional Japanese food .  It is kind of noodle. I also ate Bowl of rice. It was 5$. Most of Japanese restaurant’...

I am going to re-start my blog about Vietnam!

Hello. I am going to re-start my English blog from today. I am going to mention about Vietnamese information on this web site. For example, about food, restaurant, traffic, living cost, and Vietnamese people whatever. Because I had been living there for 8 months so I have a lot of information and experience about Vietnam. Now I am in Tokyo,Japan. I had started living Vietnam from May 2018, and I came back Japan in January 2019. I had helped my uncle’s business there.The business is Trading. More specifically, producing something(hat, shoes, T-shirt etc…)in Vietnam after that export them to Japan to sell. Why do we produce something in Vietnam? It is really simple. One of the big reason is Producing Cost is really reasonable in Vietnam. That’s why we produce in Vietnam. I did looking for factory, estimating cost, checking product, translating contraction document from English to Japanese whatever. I can speak English but cannot speak Vietnamese....

How to look for room in Vietnam

Today i am going to tell you about how to look for room in Vietnam. That is not hard. First of all, i can suggest you livening in “Nguyen Thi Minh Khai” This is the name of the street where I live. There are many foreigners and many house for foreigners. We can see many papers on the house door which were written “room for rent”. If you find it , just call to the number and you can check the room. When you talk to the owner , you should ask about monthly rent fee, deposit,electric bill, laundry and cleaning etc.. If you check all of them and you could accept them , you can contract . In Vietnam, most of places employ cleaning worker.  So we don’t need to clean my room by myself. In case of my room they clean my room up 2 times in a week.  And them service is pretty good. I am satisfied with them service. The average room monthly rent price is between 250$ ~ 400$ except electric bill. My room rent fee is 3...
