To me, Hanoi is the future of the startup world:

- surprisingly libertarian pro-buisness environment

- super low cost of living

- supportive of expats working for american incorperated companies

- easy visas

- wonderful culture

- great dating life

- safe if you don’t go looking for trouble

- instead of having to qualify for goverment benefits, the goverment controls prices for nessecities for everyone.

- rapidly improving political environment/infrastructure

- very little online censorship compared to China

- China adjacent but resists Chinese influence
