New lonesome French boy in Hanoi !

Bonjour Cedric,

To start with, The French community top Hanoi's share of expats !
[moderated: no free ads please]

The 'Hanoian' does not speak French, it is the language that the grand fathers knew. But Everyone is eager to know English. Although few speak it. Try your luck with anyone you meet. People are friendly. Facebook is banned in the country, those who can use it do so by proxy, so I doubt many will get to you via Facebook. Good Luck !

Salut Cedric,

Je m'appelle Lesley et je vis a Ha Noi depuis 1 an et demi. Mes deux amis (vietnamiens francophones) et moi vivont dans une maison et nous avons une chambre de libre, as-tu besoin d'un logement ? On peut te la louer pour seulement 50 dollars la semaine (factures non incluses). Elle se trouve a 10mins en scoot du Vieux Quartier, ideal pour sortir.

Sinon si tu as besoin de renseignements n'hesite pas !

Lesley

Hi Lesley > you should please write in English in this English speaking forum. Thank you

Well somebody is asleep at the wheel then because literally everyone I know here (Saigon) is on fb. Proxy? We're all just using our regular internet connections (maybe things are different in Hanoi?)...

We have no problem with facebook. We can surf on PC, lap and mobifone everywhere.
