Vietnam cost of living posts enrage the internet. Every FOB YTer does the obligatory "Living in Da Nang on $500/month" video. The replies are always the same: "Impossible." "Way too much." People think they’ll step off a plane and live like a local for years. What they leave out: → Short stays mean tourist pricing on everything → Eating clean isn’t local pricing → The “like a local” lifestyle wears thin on most Westerners → Western comforts always creep back Stay 90 days minimum before judging. Budget 2x what the videos tell you. Don't sign a year lease in week one.





just moved into my new spot for a few weeks here in vietnam 🇻🇳 place stays small but more than enough to lock in. view from window is really cool, rooftop pool on top of building looks even better (i’ll show you that one later) little game for fun: drop your guess for monthly rent of this apartment in comments. closest answer wins a pixelated gift from me :) hint: you’d cry if you knew what same place costs in any western capital.
