Du Khách Mỹ: SỐNG Ở VIỆT NAM GIÚP TÔI NHẬN RA MẶT TRÁI của NƯỚC MỸ!

Hello everyone Recently the online community has been buzzing with excitement over a truly fascinating video From a YouTuber named Jared in the United States after leaving the country for two years After six months of living in Da Nang Jared went online and shared an emotional story He presented a list of 18 points and confidently asserted that life in Vietnam is better than in the United States in every way So what caused a person born and raised in the world's leading superpower Just how impressive does Vietnam appear in the eyes of a Westerner At the start of the video Jared dives straight into the most pressing and devastating issue facing modern American society: extreme stress He described life in the world's leading digital power as being like a meat grinder They were trapped in a harsh ratio 95 to 5 means you must exhaust every ounce of your strength sell your very soul to work consuming up to 95% of your precious life time And only a mere 5% of that fleeting time is left for breathing and savoring Americans are suffocated 24/7 by financial pressure mounting bills and credit card debt because everything from housing and healthcare to services is ridiculously expensive Whenever Jared abruptly left everything behind to move to Brazil and later settle in Vietnam he carried a wound that never fully healed Here that grim statistic is completely overturned Vietnamese society operates on a different rhythm where people work simply to survive but not just living to work In Vietnam people dedicate much of their time to enhancing their quality of life and nurturing relationships Jared realized he could earn a modest income online by doing very little work yet they enjoy a lifestyle befitting the elite traveling constantly dining at restaurants every day and gathering with friends whenever they please This environmental change helped him eliminate nearly 100% of his stress The silent killer claiming millions of American lives each year Second the shock of rising living costs Jared made a comparison so striking that any Western citizen hearing it would have to confront their own hypocrisy While still living in Orlando Florida Jared had to pay a staggering $2 400 per month—about 60 million VND—just for rent just to rent a two-bedroom apartment Not to mention the dozens of additional expenses attached such as electricity water and garbage disposal fees What about Da Nang then He's enjoying a sleek modern fully furnished studio apartment And cleaning services for just $375 a month around 9 million VND In fact a friend of his even found a similar studio for only $230 a month Accommodation costs dropping by over 80% is not just a mathematical figure—it's the key that unlocks the door to freedom Once no longer haunted each month by the specter of rent people truly experience freedom The third issue mentioned is transportation In the United States a car isn't just a vehicle—it's a pair of legs Without a car you can't get to work or go shopping Owning a car however is a financial burden Monthly installment payments sky-high insurance premiums maintenance fees road tolls Arriving in Da Nang the weight lifted off our shoulders and we could finally breathe easy Here ride-hailing systems like Grab are overly perfect and ridiculously cheap Each Grab car or motorcycle ride costs between 1 and 1 75 dollars Jared chuckled saying it was hard to spend more than two dollars on a ride here He can make 3 to 4 trips per day With a personal driver who picks you up at your door the monthly cost is barely a rounding error compared to maintaining a car in the U S Moreover the freedom of riding a scooter one's own is equally thrilling Rent a powerful 155cc scooter for just $65 a month Fueled by a 3-dollar fill-up the car had been driven nonstop from mountain to sea for two whole weeks An incredibly brilliant economic puzzle Wednesday On cuisine Jared shared that in the U S eating at restaurants every day would be a luxury and expensive In Vietnam that is the breath of life Food here is 50 to 75 percent cheaper than in the United States Yet their quality freshness and variety utterly surpass those of industrial fast-food bananas Jared Chumcho said a local steaming hot meal costs only $2 to $3 If you'd like to treat yourself to a fancy elegant restaurant it'll only cost you 4 to 5 dollars The drinks here are equally heavenly Vietnamese coffee rich and robust costs just under a dollar Hundreds of milk tea and fresh tropical fruit teas as well as herbal hot teas range only from one to two dollars In Vietnam you don't need to pay to enjoy good food Thú Nam is the collapse of the culture of arbitrary fees This is a key difference in social thinking that Jared emphasizes greatly America is the pinnacle of capitalism where every square meter of land and every experience is commercialized Enter the national park buy a ticket head to the beach pay up Walking into a bar or nightclub on the weekend you'required to pay an entrance fee of between thirty and fifty dollars just to step through the door excluding the cost of drinks purchased inside Jared genuinely experienced a positive cultural shock while in Vietnam Most recreational spaces are largely open-plan He had visited some of the busiest nightclubs in Da Nang Beach bars scenic spots temples and shrines—wherever you go just show your ID and walk straight in Admission is completely free You only pay for the drink you actually consume Jared exclaimed joyfully How wonderful it is to know you can go anywhere without getting ripped off by those annoying fees the moment you step outside Free parking privileges everywhere coupled with no entry fees is the freedom to park without worry Anyone who has lived in the U S or Europe is haunted by the parking meter countdowns Parking spots with fee-based systems overhead or risk being towed if you accidentally park even a few minutes out of line In Vietnam from parking right up against a sea wall or a fence to parking on sidewalks in front of shops all the way to public parking areas Almost everywhere is free or costs just a small amount—between 5 000 and 10 000 rupiah Less than fifty cents for the parking attendant—a rare comfort in today's world Saturday is the warm heart of Vietnamese culture Beyond material concerns it evokes the deepest emotional resonance for the Vietnamese people He insisted that in his entire life he had never been to a place where the people were so warm hospitable open-hearted and respectful toward others In the West respect for privacy can sometimes turn into cold detachment with people passing one another like ghosts Yet in Vietnam the warmth of village kinship and community bonds remain deeply cherished Gerard said that while he was riding his motorcycle through residential areas Just slow down and local residents will offer a hesitant half-smiling wave greeting the unfamiliar visitor Vietnamese social culture revolves around family and friend groups especially evident in the times Gerard has visited A tall foreigner stranger completely unknown was suddenly called over by groups of Vietnamese men drinking beer on the sidewalk Hey friend come on over come on over to the beer village join us for a bite His generosity carefree spirit and warmth completely won Gerard's heart making him truly fall in love with the country 8 A healthy lifestyle in essence is about moving beyond obsessive fixation on extreme physical appearance Speaking about sports culture Gerard who is training at a gym in Da Nang pointed out an interesting difference In the U S gyms are filled with extreme fitness fanatics people obsessed with achieving six-pack abs ding away in the gym for four hours every day stuffing 5 000 calories of supplements into their stomac Just to achieve massive natural muscle mass In Vietnam people pursue a more balanced philosophy of health They go to the gym play badminton and run to keep their bodies toned flexible and strong from within In particular Gerard emphasized a crucial truth: in Vietnam obesity is nearly nonexistent—he's traveled far and wide yet he's never encountered it You don't see people severely obese struggling to move around like in the U S If someone is overweight they're typically only 9 to 14 pounds over The reason lies in the Vietnamese people's excellent traditional diet Despite consuming a lot of rice meals are always abundant with fresh vegetables Various refreshing soups with fresh proteins such as chicken fish and pork Vietnamese people don't have the habit of mindlessly consuming highly processed sugary packaged foods like Americans do Saturday a missed shot from the health carpet Following the above a blocked shot the defender's leg as the culprit leading to declining health among Americans Fast-food drive-thru chains a drive-thru style of eating where you can order food without leaving your car In the U S you just drive down a street You pass by 20 indulgent drive-thru spots serving up crispy fried delights It fosters a lazy and harmful lifestyle In Vietnam the true drive-thru model does not exist If you want to take it away you have to park your car and walk inside But even better Vietnam has the world's best food delivery network You don't need to eat frozen hamburgers—just $3 for the meal and less than $1 for shipping Technology drivers will bring you a steaming bowl of beef pho right to your doorstep A fragrant grilled rice box with a hint of floral aroma These meals are handcrafted using fresh daily ingredients On the tenth point the disparity in healthcare systems This is the most painful lesson in Jared's story Once a seasoned health insurance broker in the United States he knew all too well the corruption and cruelty embedded within the system In Cao Hoa even a healthy individual must pay between 1 400 and 1 500 dollars per month for insurance But cruelly enough when you're sick or injured the insurance company will look for ways to deny payment or you'd still have to bear enormous out-of-pocket expenses Paying for treatment or surgery in the U S out of your own pocket A single medical emergency can push a middle-class family into financial ruin Jared's medical experiences in Vietnam were truly eye-opening Just last week he suffered a severe injury to his neck and shoulder He went to a modern private hospital in Da Nang on his own Here he was examined by a doctor prescribed a few X-rays and a detailed ultrasound and began a treatment plan consisting of six physical therapy sessions Specialized rehabilitation services What is the total bill for all those international standard services Just about 300 dollars roughly 7.5 million VND He happily reached into his own pocket to pay without having to argue with any insurance company To top it off his girlfriend has just had a minor surgery The private hospital had anesthesiologist present and everything went perfectly with the total cost coming to around 400 dollars A ridiculously low price for someone coming from the United States Number 11 an invaluable privilege that doesn't require waiting Affordable prices high quality and state-of-the-art equipment are not enough What truly enables Vietnamese healthcare to completely outperform Western nations is Even among European countries with strong public health systems the pace has been swift In the West healthcare systems have become overwhelmed Scheduling an appointment with a specialist or securing a referral can take several weeks to a few months In Vietnam Jared stepped into the hospital lobby And just five minutes later he was sitting across from the doctor The patient was examined immediately and paid the fee and undergo clinical procedures the same day without enduring long exhausting waits This speed and flexibility Provides patients with absolute peace of mind Item 12 the increased presence of police on foot In the United States images of police cars equipped with flashing lights gliding lazily through neighborhoods are commonplace Fully armed inspectors always create an atmosphere of suffocating tension and constant vigilance Drivers are constantly anxious about being hit by vehicles He rarely sees police officers driving around aimlessly looking for violations to ticket Every couple of weeks He suddenly saw a traffic police officer holding a baton directing traffic at the intersection He observed that Because society here is overly secure the authorities don't need to rely on harsh surveillance mechanisms or public intimidation through violence The authorities allow people to freely carry out their work grounded in the belief that individuals will voluntarily comply with the law The social atmosphere thus became extremely relaxed and harmonious with no one feeling threatened Clause 13 Absolute safety society — Giadis does not use the conventional term "safety " but instead employs the phrase "infinite safety " To compare Vietnam with his own homeland He admitted that everywhere has good and bad people and occasionally there are still theft incidents but serious crimes threatening life such as armed robbery street mugging or car thef and completely absent This sense of safety is confirmed by his daily routines Sherrod and his girlfriend frequently ride motorcycles slipping into narrow alleys deep in the night silent and still In America one might mistake it for a dark alley They might have to pay with their lives But in Da Nang the most terrifying thing awaiting them in the dark alley was a bright welcoming smile and the friendly waves from locals sitting to cool off on their front porches You can stroll anywhere you like at any time of day or night free from a single care in the world Fourteenth a place where peace is untouched by the scent of gunpowder This is the moment Sherrod's tone toward his own homeland turns sharp and bitter He stated that gun violence is one of the three core reasons that drove him to flee the United States and swore never to return He painted a horrifying reality The United States consumes 23 million firearms annually On average each person owns four firearms and the country must bear the burden of over a million Taking the lives of countless innocent people — in schools in supermarkets America remains the world's leading arms supplier for gangs in Mexico and the Caribbean In stark contrast to that wave of violence Vietnam is an absolute paradise of peace The possession of weapons is strictly prohibited by the state Citizens walking the streets need not live in constant fear Parents no longer need to worry constantly about their children's safety when they go to school The absence of firearms is a great blessing that Vietnamese society currently enjoys Article 15 Chaotic noise Thanks to the relief from financial pressure social security and the absence of weapons Vietnamese people's mindset here has been remarkably peaceful Having lived here for six months already He passed through countless neighborhoods without knowing it Jared had never once heard anyone shouting angrily Shouting insults face-to-face on the street In America psychological frustration easily turns into violent altercations due to traffic accidents or random violent attacks But Vietnamese people are different they don't become so stressed that they consider suicide Harming others is wrong The purpose of life here is very simple: work eat and drink enjoy oneself and make friends All conflicts can be resolved with an apology or a casual smile Item 16 The meticulous attention to detail from the grandest to the smallest elements completely refutes Western media stereotypes developing countries with limited resources Gerard insists that Da Nang is the cleanest place he has ever visited The level of cleanliness here It isn't just found on the central avenues cleaned by street sweepers but weaves through every alleyway reaching even the tiniest most hidden corners I greatly admire the strong sense of community among Vietnamese people Everyone not only cleans up in front of their own homes bu and they even swept the entire neighborhood together Absolutely no images of careless drivers tossing trash Emerging from the flying car's window they descended onto the city street as if in a foreign land Article 17 National pride igniting the flame and sacred unity Gerard felt deep sorrow Looking back at the current decline in national pride in the United States one is instead overwhelmed by the deep patriotism found in Vietnam and the spirit of national pride burns brightly everywhere Walking along the streets red flags with golden stars They always proudly fly the red flag with golden stars The locals here love wearing shirts with the red-and-gold flag and those printed with "Vietnam" in Vietnamese as a proud assertion of roots especially during major national events or when the national football team is playing A whole nation coming together as one embracing each other and singing passionately in the streets Patriotism in Vietnam is a truly beautiful force of positive energy pure and deeply connected—something many Western multicultural nations desperately crave The final point a society deeply entrenched with political isolation Finally Gerard points out a form of liberation No one brings politics into the debate but American society today is torn apart by deep political polarization The Democratic Party opposes the Republican Party The greens are bitterly against the reds The debates You're trash my kid's the best Intruding into the very heart of every family's dining table Driving wedges between friends and relatives Yet in Vietnam such harmful division does not exist People are content and cheerful living under consistent state governance with no one resorting to politics to harbor hatred toward one another They spent that time building their business caring for their family and enjoying peaceful life in Thai Binh closing the emotionally powerful video Gerard looked straight into the camera and spoke with complete sincerity: After six months here I have to say Moving to Vietnam is vastly vastly better way to live your life—everything simply outshines everywhere else I can't even begin to describe it Even just one thing in America that I miss or think works better there— you realize tha Although the state maintains very tight control people nonetheless feel a sense of absolute freedom the entrepreneurial spirit in Vietnam is thriving In every corner even a regular police officer with a modest salary can live in great comfort enjoying delicious food and fine clothing and may generously provide abundant care for loved ones Dear friends the story of Charles's eighteen points ot merely the praise of a foreign guest but truly a giant mirror e very priceless values we once took for granted having lived within them so long that we came to see them as absolute certainty when our children come home late from school is the peace of an evening stroll without fear of stray bullets flying around It's the warmth of a neighbor asking after your well-being a healthcare system that doesn't strip patients of their dignity the simple things that mean so much s once again a luxurious paradise that countless citizens from the world's wealthiest nations are desperately seeking Hold your head high no more Cherish every peaceful moment And proudly shout two words: Vietnam We are fortunate to have been born and to live in one of the most humane safe and livable places on this planet
