"Expat housing is higher, from $800 for an unfurnished apartment and from $1500 for a small house," said another expat in Hanoi, Vietnam.
"Housing cost is much lower than in Europe; my house rental (include my office) is 150 US$, electricity, water and gas and cable TV is around 150 US$; food cost me about 400 US$ / month. I don't eat meat a lot; price for pork for instance, doubled since 1 year ago. 1 night partying cost me around 100 US$ (Whiskey or cognac, soft drinks and tip for the waitress)," wrote a member who made the move to Phan Thiet, Vietnam.
