Vietnamese people are so nice, even in the city. I was surveying new neighborhoods and started chatting with a guy walking on the road near me. Next thing you know he called several family members over to meet me and answer my questions and invited me to see his house. Turns out I did a TV episode on his family’s home province. Another guy in another neighborhood brought me in and gave me a full 30+ minute tour of his house, and all his construction contacts and intel. Turns out he’s an IT outsourcing company owner. And this past weekend, another guy in another neighborhood invited me in to show me his house and give intel on the neighborhood. Turns out he’s a retired ship captain of a huge Vietnamese petro ship. He said the pay should be nice right now with the oil supply issues. Turns out he and my grandpa come from the same hometown. Then a woman and her Korean husband in another house gave me some intel. And recently I was sitting on the floor with 4 maids (there’s an “Uber for maids” app where you can book on demand) and we were all discussing about life and dreams and gossip in Vietnamese. It was so cute actually. One of the maid’s husbands came to pick her up in a Grab uniform. We joked it’s the ultimate sharing economy power couple of Vietnam. Super wholesome, as always.
