Socialist Republic of Vietnam

VNA - The online magazine ‘Business Insider’ recently published an article written by Investment Strategist Tim Staermose, which gave the author’s impression of Vietnam after an eight day visit to the country. 

 

Peaceful, with reasonable prices and extremely safe, were his main observations. Forty years on from the war with the US , Staermose felt that the country has experienced a great deal of positive changes. 

 

“In the ancient town of Hoi An and the capital city of Hanoi , the local lifestyles are in general very laid back and relaxed. There are numerous excellent cafes and restaurants that offer both local fair and overseas cuisine, and there are everywhere”, said Staermose. 

 

“Although the weather here can be very hot and humid, Hanoi has many lakes and it is actually very pleasant to explore the city on foot”. 

 

 

“That applies if you are young and single, or if you have a young family, like my friends who are based here. For the right kind of person, because of the cost of living here, the quality of life you can enjoy for the money you pay is really very difficult to beat”.-VNA
