I'm so used to budgeting and for me eating out is already something that makes me feel I'm overspending. I need to change the mentality.

 

Ok, woes is a bit of an exaggeration. Basically basically I've been nomading through the Balkans for a year and got used to buying cereals and fruit for breakfast, eggs with cheese and ham or salads for lunch, and then for dinner I'd cook rice/veggies with some meat/chicken. I'd just eat out maybe on Saturdays as a treat. So I just arrived to Vietnam and when I went to the k-mart nearby, I was completely at a loss. I'm unfamiliar with the products and don't know what to buy. I did buy some cereal for breakfast (it's actually super good, some brand I had never seen), and eggs for lunch (although I couldn't find bread anywhere and they only had the cheese you get in plastic-wrapped slices, not actual cheese like edam, emmental, gouda etc). Now I'm unsure if to keep my lunch and breakfast routine as they were and just get dinner by grab delivery, or if to actually buy some noodles and veggies from the supermarket and try cooking dinner. I'm actually unsure because it doesn't seem certain that I will save any money by doing so, and I certainly won't be able to cook asian food better than the restaurants.

Any opinions/experiences about this?

Some people seem to be saying that using this is illegal. Do you know anything about it?

Yeah that's another option. Thanks for suggesting. I've been traveling in Europe so far so I've not had this dilemma before.

Perfect. I will try it.

 

Do you think it's worth it? Have anyone that been there been asked for it lately? Also I'm planning to get safety wing insurance, should I get it before I go there? Do they ask about it at immigration? Any other important advice before going?

Appreciated in advance. By the way if anyone is in Saigon and wants to hang out feel free to dm me. I have an apartment there for a month and then I may stay another month or go to danang, depends on how I feel about it.

I felt safer in Tirana than any western big city, and I'm a guy.

Same experience. Super safe and from what I could gather, women there lived their lives completely unpreoccupied.

Heroku doesn't have free accounts anymore I think. At least my free account apps were killed a few months ago.
