How do I meet people in Vietnam?
When we asked people living in Vietnam about club and activities where newcomers can meet others, they responded...
"Depends on interests of course. UNIS (United nations international school) is out of town but offers courses to everyone, including language classes. L'Espace (French) Goethe (German) and other national organisations offer courses, exhibitions and events. Cinematheque offers "arthouse" films for members. Hanoi Opera House offers wonderful performances, very reasonably priced tickets so enjoy. for other information on events/organisations google Hanoi Infoshare and New Hanoian," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Hanoi, Vietnam.
"Expats in Vietnam often join social clubs or activities such as running, art, or language classes. Open Mic nights, trivia nights, live music events and craft beer festivals are other popular social activities. Expats are also known to congregate at bars, cafes and restaurants in cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Many expats living in Vietnam use online forums, meetup websites and apps to meet other foreigners, as well as attending networking events and conferences organized by expat organizations. Finally, many expats teach English in Vietnam; these people often meet other fellow teachers in their schools, or in pubs and restaurants near their place of work," commented one expat who made the move to Vietnam.
