Hey, I am Vu, female, 25yrs, single, working in real estate biz, funny and out-going. I've been surviving in Ha Noi for more than 7 years, though being a Vietnamese, I am still an expat in Ha Noi.
Contact me and let's have fun :")

Hi moonhjang and Leighhcm,
Really nice to hear something from you hehe.
Actually, I was not born in Ha Noi. I started living and working in Ha Noi 7 years ago since I entered my university in the city. So I think, in some aspects, I am an "expat" in Ha Noi (I often get lost; I regularly buy overcharged things and sometimes Hanoians even ask me "Where are you from, huh, Mars?...).
Anyway, I still enjoy my Ha Noi very much and hope you so!

So in this case, i think the definition "expat" is improper. Weird!!!! Vietnamese is Vietnamese, why do you want to be/to be like "expat"?
