Hello, I am Haili's mother who has been living in Nha Trang for 6 years. Nha Trang is a resort famous for its warm weather and beautiful sea, but life here is not simply filled with romance.

Here, I experience a life where romance and reality, growth and learning coexist.

I felt and learned a lot while doing so. Today, I would like to share my first-hand experience while living in Nha Trang and the lessons I gained from it.

I hope this video will be of some help to you. When I first came to Nha Trang, this place really seemed like a perfect paradise.

Warm weather, pretty sea colors, and a relaxed atmosphere. Arriving after a cold winter in Korea, my first impression of this place left an unforgettable impression on me.

When I open the window every morning, I see the blue sky, emerald sea, and gentle breeze. It was a comfort in itself.

The feeling of escaping from the crowded city and becoming one with nature made me feel like I had entered a new world. At first, everything was new and special.

Tropical fruits that are hard to find in Korea, lively markets, and simple smiles of local people were impressive. It was fruit at the market.

Thinking, walking along the beach, spending leisurely time in cafes, I thought that this is true happiness.

When I first settled in Nha Trang, my life was simplicity itself. I didn't have to worry about clothes, the gaze of people around me, or social responsibility. I had the freedom of not having to be tied down to anything.

I enjoyed buying fruits and seafood at the market every morning, cooking and eating them briefly. I listened to the sound of the sea while contemplating on the beach, and ended it by looking at the sky full of stars.

This simple life. How soothing this is. It was a time of enlightenment. I was able to purchase tropical fruits such as mango, durian, dragon fruit, and fresh seafood at low prices.

The little conversations I had while negotiating prices with locals were a little fun in my daily life. However, the simple life in the beginning did not last long.

From the time I started doing this, I started to become more realistic. Problems started to come one by one. Many people think that there will be no competition in a resort like Nha Trang.

However, there is a small society here too, and there are roles and responsibilities to be played within it. As I started my business, I began to feel a greater and greater sense of responsibility and reality. I felt the weight In the beginning, I was very excited about the new challenge, but as time went by, practical difficulties arose.

Staff management, income issues, unscheduled crises, etc., were problems that could not be solved with romance alone.

However, I learned a lot from this family. I moved to Nha Trang. The biggest concern for me was Hail, who was 7 years old, and I was very worried about how to solve the educational problem.

Hail came to Nha Trang without learning English at all.

At first, everything seemed unfamiliar, but it was a small village in Nha Trang. When I started attending an international school, things changed little by little.

Tuition was about 700,000 won per month, which was a burden, but I was satisfied watching Hail grow while living with children of various races in a small school.

Hail adapted faster than expected with his friends. We enjoyed school life together, and as time went by, our English skills improved noticeably.

Now, she is so good at English that I am surprised. Hail's growth became the driving force that helped me overcome the fear of the unfamiliar environment that I felt here in Nha Trang.

Nha Trang is known as a peaceful city. However, the noise problem is a reality that cannot be overlooked. When I first started living in an apartment here, one of the biggest stresses was the noise problem.

The noise here is on a slightly different level from the inter-floor noise commonly experienced in Korea. Inter-floor noise in Nha Trang is mainly caused by thumping, footsteps, or furniture being dragged, but The noise level in Nha Trang is a bit different.

For example, the karaoke noise catches people and has been doing this for 4 hours now, using a microphone inside the house.

The sound of karaoke resonates throughout the neighborhood without hesitation. On the weekends, it felt like the entire apartment had been turned into a karaoke room.

I think they did it even more during the Corona period because there was no work. And in the case of the house next door to us, the piano was played until 12 noon until 1 o'clock in the morning. I could hear sounds.

The sound of children singing and children talking. Sometimes it continues day and night. And the sound of shouting 'motaibah' from the seafood store outside continues even after midnight.

The passion and energy was amazing, but it wasn't easy to sleep at first. In my neighborhood, a lot of Russians live in apartments, and sometimes they enjoy parties with loud music, and the beats make them feel like they're in the middle of a club.

There were times when I couldn't sleep to that extent.

I also experienced this early in the morning yesterday. I woke up again in the early morning to the sound of the dog barking next door.

All of this noise was not just unbearable, it became another big challenge in living here. At first, all this noise overwhelmed me. There were days when I was nervous and had trouble sleeping because of the noise that continued all day long.

But over time, I gradually got used to it. The sound of karaoke was no longer annoying, and the sound of toasts in bars was understood as a part of my own culture.

They say we are animals of adaptation, and I realized that through my life in Nha Trang. Would you say that the noises that were painful at first have now become accepted as part of daily life and have become background sounds that can be naturally let go?

I realized that adaptation is an amazing ability to overcome human discomfort and find a new balance in the environment. Because of all this noise, life in Nha Trang may not be simply romantic.

However, through this experience, even in the challenges of the external environment, the inner self can be found. I learned how to find peace.

Noise has now become a part of my daily life that I have become accustomed to here. Korean food is not just food that fills the stomach; it is a connection that reminds me of home and puts my mind at ease.

Ingredients in Nha Trang are really cheap, but foreigners can live there. Housing prices in apartments are often more expensive than in Korea.

Mangoes, seafood, vegetables, etc., are cheap and fresh. It was a pleasure to shop for groceries at the market.

Conversely, apartments are similar to or more expensive than Korean housing prices. The irony of cheap ingredients and high housing prices is here. It was a unique aspect of life.

Vietnam is a country with a really high percentage of the population in their 20s and 30s. Vietnamese young people work really hard.

Most of the employees I worked with were sincere and had a strong sense of responsibility, but they also want a better environment and want to grow. I have seen many times that simply working hard is not enough.

They also know that it is not enough. Their desire for growth has also impressed me at times.

Nha Trang is known as an affordable city, but it is not easy without a stable income. Our family of three lives on at least 2 million won per month, excluding tuition. You have to have some degree to live a basic life.

Considering monthly rent, utility bills, eating out expenses, etc., financial stability is essential. It is difficult to continue living with romance alone.

Nha Trang is a city where romance and reality coexist. Here, I can't live without romance alone. I learned that life cannot be filled.

Life is a journey to find the balance between romance and reality. Here, I am learning that balance. I honestly shared what I felt while living in Nha Trang.

Life here, famous for its warm weather and beautiful sea, was perfect at first. It felt like despair, but as time passed, I realized that it was a place where romance and reality coexisted.

Nha Trang was not just a vacation spot for me. This is the place that taught me how to find a balance between freedom and responsibility, romance and reality.

My life is becoming stronger little by little through the amazing human power of adaptation, challenges in unfamiliar environments, and growth within them.

Spending time here, especially with my child, has probably been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Every time I see Hairi, who didn't speak a word of English, adapt well to school and now speak English more fluently than I do, I am convinced that I made the right choice.

Even in an unfamiliar environment, my child showed signs of learning and growing faster than me. Seeing such a child gave me great strength and courage.

Life here gives me this message: Life always gives us the opportunity to escape from the familiar and grow in unfamiliar places, and in the process, discover our true self.

Coming here in search of romance, I learned reality, felt responsibility, and at the same time realized what the true beauty of life is.

All of these experiences make Nha Trang a special place. I hope that there comes a time in your life where you find your own balance between romance and reality.

Romance moves us forward, and reality makes us stronger. Only when you find your own meaning among them will you be able to feel true satisfaction in life.

I hope that everything I learned here will be a little inspiration to you, and thank you so much for watching until the end.

In the next video, I will once again share an honest story about an honest topic I want to share. Please subscribe and like.
