The flow of traffic in a courteous manner rather equidistant, smooth, with pedestrians crossing through it also without much stop. The traffic sees one and goes around. The traffic is mostly mopeds. Not much road rage.

Vietnam is awesome. Any day in cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City is just like another day for Vietnamese people.

Little do they know that for first-time visitors, that DAY is an exhilarating and a jaw-drop experience.

但他们不会知道，对于第一次来越南的游客来说，绝对是令人兴奋和令人瞠目结舌的经历。

The moment you are taking a stroll on a sidewalk and trying to cross the busy street you are in awe by the sight of it.

Even when taking out your wallet to buy a 'Big Mac.’ The feeling of being a millionaire is great and such a feeling is only when you are in Vietnam.

当你在人行道上漫步，穿过繁忙的街道时，你会对眼前的景象感到敬畏。

当你拿出钱包去买“巨无霸”汉堡时，成为百万富翁的感觉也很棒，这种感觉只有在越南才会有。

Vietnamese use motorcycles to transport anything from pigs, miscellaneous plastic wares and boxes, cardboard boxes, jars, refrigerators, you name it.

There are 45 million registered motorcycles. For a country with a population of 96 million, that's close to one bike for every two people.

越南人用摩托车运一切，猪、各种塑料制品和盒子、纸板箱、罐子、冰箱等等，应有尽有。

登记车牌的摩托车有4500万辆。对于一个拥有9600万人口的国家来说，这几乎相当于每两个人中就有一人拥有一辆摩托车。

When there are catfights between Vietnamese women on the sidewalk it is customary that whoever is left naked is the loser.

My last visit to Ho Chi Minh City is memorable, I would advise all travelers to Southeast Asia to have either Hanoi or HCMC on their bucket list. It was an eye-opener trip and mind-blowing... Trust me.

如果越南女人在人行道上打架，按照习俗，谁的衣服被扒光了谁就是输家。

我在胡志明市的旅行令人难忘，我建议所有去东南亚的游客都把河内或胡志明市列入自己的遗愿清单。这会是一次令你大开眼界的旅行，令人兴奋。相信我。

The food. You can get anything from fancy restaurants to roadside stuff and almost every town has its own specialties.

Street life. People in general eat out a lot thanks to the affordable prices so it’s always lively outside. Think of Hong Kong or Japan if you haven’t been to Vietnam, we’re nowhere near as wealthy but have just as much fun.

食物。从高档餐厅到路边小吃，你可以品尝到一切，几乎每个城镇都有自己的特色美食。

街头生活。由于价格实惠，人们通常会在外面吃饭，所以街上总是很热闹。如果你没去过越南，那就想象一下香港或日本，我们虽然远远没有那么富有，但乐趣分毫不少。

Tons of beaches and tourist spots with many options to fit your budget. At my former workplace most of us went for multiple vacations every year and we are by no means rich. It’s also dead easy to plan a trip; we’ve once arranged a team trip to an island within a week of the idea being floated.

越南有许多海滩和旅游景点，有许多选择可以满足你的预算。我以前公司的大多数同事每年都要休好几次假，但我们一点也不富裕。旅行安排也非常方便，我们曾经在提出想法后的一周内就安排了一个团队去海岛度假。

The job market for the tech sector is in a sweet spot: plenty of opportunities without being too competitive. As such even fresh graduates can get very good offers as long as they are decently competent.

People don’t really care about politics all that much. Sure there are discussions and online flame wars but nobody loses friends over it.

科技行业的就业市场非常景气：有大量的机会，但竞争又不太激烈，所以只要有能力，应届毕业生也可以找到很好的工作。

人们不太关心政治。当然了，也会有讨论和网上的口水仗，但没有人会因此失去朋友。
