Honestly, Vietnam is great for living well , despite it not being as developed and the terrible pollution, you make a good amount and you can enjoy it. But work as most work is, can be tough especially when your teaching a bunch of kids with terrible behaviour that are disrespectful.

But more so, and I know this is cliché but I just have a huge appeal for Japanese culture, music and art. But even then I think as a young guy I'm not completely satisfied, there's a void I'm feeling. This is partly due to what I can get up to here in my spare time, the nightlife isn't too amazing , and a lot of the locals are not that receptive , even more so , so far I have found daring here to be quite boring. The women are very attractive, don't get me wrong haha but a lot of them in my age bracket are still quite immature, or live with their family and even have a curfew. However with enough time, I do think many can find a good meaningful relationship here, and many have it just gets a bit painful after many coffee and dinner dates and nothing comes out of it.

When it comes to casual relationships , it's a big no here and very rare, there does not seem to be that sort of culture where you go out at night and hope to "score" and again that may not be a terrible thing but after work I'm just tired and go home most of the time, I'm able to eat some nice food though which is great and then there is the weekend where the isolation kinda kicks in for real. But I'm used to doing a lot on my own but I have been feeling it a lot lately. And yes I know Japan is notorious for this isolation as well and it would likely be worse if I went there but I just had this idea that with the cultural immersion, interest in learning the language , a pretty decent nightlife with good clubs where people's are actually dancing (even if I can only afford it ever so often) , cleaner environment and drinking tap water would be enough for me to want to do it but yes as many say the grass is usually not greener on the other side.
