Yoga classes - held at The Lady Club Volunteer work at local orphanages The Vung Tau Beach Club - many expats drink at this bar
People in this town are very conservative and most accept the diversity that expats bring to this town. However the older people seem to be less accepting of expats and if an expat is dressed differently or has pink hair for example they are almost disgusted. So if you dont stand out you will be fine in Vung Tau. Blending in is good

Expat Vietnam: 10 Tips for Living in Vietnam
It's an exciting time to live in Vietnam - with more and more tall buildings crowding the city skylines and rural areas developing rapidly as well. Learning Vietnamese poses a major challenge for most expats, but Vietnam's warm, welcoming people make up for the challenge.
Hi, Thanks for your info. on living in Vung Tau. I have been living in Nicaragua for the last 4 years and have enjoyed the people and the culture. I have stayed away from the larger cities, since I wanted to get to know the people. I have learned to speak Spanish fluently. I am a retired American and would like to experience living in an Asian culture. I have spoken to many people who have visited Vietnam and received many positive reports. Also, I have spent many hours on the Internet trying to find the ideal place to live in Vietnam. Since I have spent about 3 years living in the mountains in Nicaragua, I would like to spend some time “ocean living”. Can you provide me with some idea of what it costs to live in Vung Tau? Since I am alone, I could live in a one-bedroom, or a studio apt. I would like to have a middle-class life style. Would like to know what that would cost on a monthly basis. Thank you in advance for your help. Regards, Jerry Levinson jlevinson2@yahoo.com
guesti wonder about the ethics around expats working in the fossil fuel extraction industries in poor countries..it doesnt work, its screwing up the globe and its about shipping the resources out to the west ( or china) as soon as possible so they can burn all the stuff in the next 50 years.. then leave the locals with nothing..
guestwhy do some many over 50 single and alone men want to live in asian countries??
