The expat community is huge, and I would say the morale is typically really good. - Jul 2024
Overall expat community is very large and active! Pretty much everyone here loves it - many expats have been here for close to a decade! - Sep 2021
Largish community. Great variety, from students to English teachers to businesspeople. Morale in the community is generally high. I get the feeling that most people are in Vietnam by conscious choice, and have specific goals. There are lots of activities organized by the expat community, and many opportunities to interact with Vietnamese people as well. - Jul 2019
Really big - lots of sub-groups in different areas of the city. The morale totally depends on what you are doing and how long you have been here. For most, this place loses its charm after year 4 or 5. People complain but not as much as they used to. It's nicer here now. - Mar 2016
