Actually I am supposed to go to both the cities for some months but I am not getting paid well in HCMC. So if you can provide me the details about cost of living in HCMC & hanoi, it will be very helpful.<br />My email id is ashwanijain@gmail.comVirgo_The_Perfectionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314392988148567871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8053105828266638793.post-28209127673044808052008-02-23T03:52:00.000+00:002008-02-23T03:52:00.000+00:00"About the BBC and CNN, you can get them quite eas..."About the BBC and CNN, you can get them quite easy.

On the other hand, HCMC offers the kind of loose environment where these loonies can basically do whatever they want with no fear of consequences (other than getting bashed over the head from behind). They can live and act in ways that would never be tolerated at home... the classic definition of a loser.

You are doing exactly what I hope to be doing soon....<BR/><BR/>I can understand the differences in North/South (saving $ vs spending $) partly due to political pressures. Heck, look at North/South Korea.....although probably a bit of a stretch....<BR/><BR/>Keep the reports up and remember as George H. used to say: All Things Must Pass.<BR/><BR/>Nevada SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
