Thanks for the feedback. When you say standard of living are you referring to the average Vietnamese person or that of a foreigner who goes over? If you are a foreigner going over there with some money it is easy to find a good place to stay, good food etc. Plus if you are going to tourist locations such as Ho Chi Minh or Da Nang I’m sure you can find 5 star of everything if that fits your budget.

For the average Vietnames person however money is not that big of a deal. They live in very average houses and go month to month without a worry about saving or buying this or that. Of course there are exceptions to this but in general this is what I observed.
