Vietnam: Expats

Written byJose Manuel Tesoro

Expatriate Mister Morris lists the reasons why he likes living in Vietnam, among them “a really really nice country club swimming pool nearby that is to die for.” Our Man in Hanoi sighs that in his mind, its people like Mister Morris who are “expats” — and that's why he hates being called an “expat” himself. His commenters sympathize.
