When you start working in Vietnam, it’s completely natural to feel that “things are a bit different from what I’m used to.”
Hai Phong, in particular, has a stronger local character compared to Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Because of this, foreign residents may feel surprised or confused at first.
Traffic conditions, work styles, food, and daily routines can all feel unfamiliar.
When these differences add up, it’s easy to feel that life is a little challenging at the beginning.
But don’t worry.
Once you learn a few practical tips, getting around, working, and daily life will gradually become much easier.
In terms of traffic, the number of motorbikes and frequent honking may feel overwhelming at first.
However, by staying calm, moving slowly, and choosing safe places to cross, most people naturally adapt within a few days.
At work, you may also notice Vietnam’s flexible working style.
A simple habit helps a lot: after meetings, briefly share : “What needs to be done,” “Who is responsible,” and “By when.” Just this makes communication much smoother.
Food is another important part of daily life.
Missing familiar tastes is completely normal when living abroad.
Finding one or two nearby restaurants where you feel comfortable can really help you feel settled.
Still, there will be moments when you wonder, “Who should I ask about this?” or “Is it okay to ask this question?”
そんなときは、どうぞお気軽に私たちに声をかけてください。
