What do people like (and dislike) about Hanoi?

"Expats and digital nomads generally like the low cost of living in Hanoi, as it allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. They appreciate the vibrant street food scene, which offers a wide variety of delicious and affordable dishes. The rich culture and history of Hanoi also attract expats, who enjoy exploring the city's ancient temples, museums, and historical sites. The friendly and welcoming nature of the local people is another aspect that expats and digital nomads appreciate. They also enjoy the bustling nightlife, with numerous bars, clubs, and live music venues to choose from. The city's growing expat community provides opportunities for networking and making new friends. However, there are also some aspects of living in Hanoi that expats and digital nomads may dislike. The chaotic traffic and poor air quality can be overwhelming, especially for those who are not used to living in a densely populated city. The language barrier can also be challenging, as not all locals speak English, making everyday tasks like shopping or navigating public transportation more difficult. The hot and humid climate may be uncomfortable for some, particularly during the summer months. Additionally, the lack of green spaces and parks in the city can make it difficult to find a quiet place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle. Lastly, while the internet speed in Hanoi has improved in recent years, it may still be slower and less reliable than what some digital nomads are accustomed to, which can be frustrating for those who rely on a stable connection for work," commented one expat who made the move to Hanoi, Vietnam.
