He used to work in South Korea under the Employment Permit System (EPS) program. When we met he told me he had just moved to the island in search of a long-term job. Phuong belongs to the first generation of Vietnamese guest workers who went to South Korea. He worked hard but also thanks to a good South Korean won-dong exchange rate at the time he managed to save nearly VND1 billion (US$42,650) after four years and 10 months, the duration allowed under the E9 work visa. On returning home to Dong Thap Province in the Mekong Delta in 2015, he cleaned up his father's garden, bought a pickup truck and set up a farm to raise cows. But within a few months some disease killed most of his cows and left the rest debilitated, and Phuong even had to sell the truck to pay off debts.

Foreigners in Vietnam are joining the discussion via Facebook comments on just how good Vietnamese food is, and where it ranks on the world stage, following a slew of tourism articles recently published by Tuoi Tre News . In his piece titled “ A foreigner’s thoughts on how much it costs to be a tourist in Vietnam ,” Liam Langan pointed out there’s really no one-size-fits-all approach to spending money at a tourist in Vietnam, and that where you choose to eat makes a massive difference in the size of your bill. Langan specifically compared a $300 fine dining experience to a street dish that fed two for just $5. Other foreigners in Vietnam were quick to agree with Langan. “I think the great thing about Saigon is that you can live off $5 or $6 a day and still have a decent time. Or, flash the cash, spend $50 or $100 and eat like a king,” said Leigh Doughty, a foreigner currently in Vietnam. A bowl of hủ tiếu noodles is served at a stall in District 1, Ho Chi … [Read more...] about Fact or fiction: “Vietnamese street food is always good”
