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 .

BE CAREFUL when you walk on the street in Vietnam.

There is  motorbike culture in Vietnam. I mean most of vietnamese people drive motorbike. The traffic jam always happen. Because compared to other countries, the provision of infrastructure is not satisfactory. Because there is no subway. So when they commit to the company, they use car or bus,mostly motorbike. Vietnam is developing fast nowadays but it is  not enough yet. When you walk on the street in Vietnam, please be careful. There are so much motorbikes. Specifically commuting time is so dangerous to across street there. The time is between 7am and 9am. And between 5pm and 7pm. No one cares about somebody else there. So be careful and just concentrate when yo are on the road in Vietnam.

National Day in Vietnam

Today is holiday in Vietnam. On 2 September  is National Day there. It is actually a big holiday in Vietnam. I can see many Vietnamese national frag on a street, even on top of the car. Today I can feel a sort of different atmosphere here. There are just 6 holidays for one year in Vietnam. And today is last holiday in 2018 so  most of Vietnamese people seem like excited. Due to big holiday , the gym is closed even my favourite restaurant is also closed. In Japan , there are approximate 16  holidays,compared with that feel like much few holidays in Vietnam. I don’t know whether Japanese holidays are many or Vietnamese holidays are few… The French restaurant near may house is opening today as usual. The restaurant is French so I guess they  don’t care about Vietnamese holiday. However the server who is working there is Vietnamese. They seem like don’t want to work only today. To be honest, I have never learned about history of world ser...
