Vietnam “A great place to live and teach!”

Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam, it covers an area of over 2,000 square km and has a population of around 5 million. The city is located between the Mekong Delta and South Vietnam, 50km inland from the South China Sea.

Previously known as Saigon, HCMC is the business center of the country. The whole city is vibrant and full of character. Everywhere you turn you will see street vendors, office workers, businessmen and thousands of bicycles. Hip new cafes and bars, high rise office buildings and hotels, colorful shops, vibrant markets, and traditional temples and pagodas - you will find it all in HCMC.

The most popular location for tourists is District 1 in the center of the city. There you will find many hotels, restaurants, shops and Internet cafes.

Vietnam is truly a wonderful place, full of very friendly people. The cost of living is extremely low and the teaching pay is surprisingly high for SE Asia ($8 to $15 US dollars per hour).

Why?

• A wealth of indoor and outdoor activities
• HCMC is fast becoming a vibrant mix of cultures with a distinctly Vietnamese flavor and not yet overshadowed by western influences
• Great food, great people, great sights and sounds
• Opportunities to both teach for a competitive salary, or to work as a volunteer within the local community
