Football (soccer) in Vietnam by 1312j

Vietnamese football is simply high enthusiasm, low skill. We blame the shit out of our national team but still gather to see them play every time and the cycles repeat. We do watch our National League but we are also willing to stay late at night ... Read More

If you have no TEFL, it is more like 30/70, not 50/50, that you can find a job upon arrival. I think you have 2 options: Finding a job before you come here or going to a smaller but fast developing city (Binh Duong for example) Read More
