How can we get a medicine in Vietnam


I have gotten sick recently.It was my first time to get sick in my Vietnam life.I had a headache, a runny nose and a high fever.I didn’t have any medicine so I should have gotten it.
But I couldn’t move from a bed for a few days. Finally I got well a little bit yesterday so I went to a pharmacy.There are pharmacies in Ho Chi Minh on a street.


In my case, I cannot speak Vietnamese fluently. I can speak just English.They can not speak English so it is hard to communicate each other.For that reason I had searched a medicine for a my symptoms on a internet(google) and had  taken screenshot before I went there.


I showed them a pic then they gave me a medicine which I needed.I bought  4 pieces and the price was just 5000VDN(20cent). It is just 5 cent each of one medicine.I re-acknowledged that oh, i am in Vietnam like that in that moment.


The medicine was like this pic. Red and yellow.I can suggest you it when you get sick in Vietnam.
The name is “Decolgen”. It helped me getting better definitely.Today I am totally fine.The good points of Vietnamese medicine are strong and reasonable.

Thank you for reading today.

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...

Today I invested to my body about 120$ in Vietnam.

Today I woke up around 7 am. Then I was off to cafeteria near my house.There are a few cafeterias within the range of 1km from my house.It is really convenience for me.I don’t want to stay my house except when I sleep at home at night because when I am in my room, I get sleepy definitely. These are street pics where are on my way when I get to cafeteria. 8:30 conversation with my business partner by call. I was working from 8 to 11am. I really like this cafeteria. They has a relaxed atmosphere, so I can concentrate to work and study. At 11 am, I felt hungry so I went to get a smoothie. This is my normal breakfast.Avocado smoothie 20000VDN(1$). This is really reasonable,right? After that, I worked out at the gym. Today I trained the back and arms💪 I can suggest you that you should go to the gym at lunch time if you can, because there are just few people. So it is easy to use machine. No stressful.However today parking space was terrible. Too m...

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 Japanes...
