How about looking in there local newspaper or on the internet. I know newspapers always have classified ads trying to rent out apartments, so I would start by looking there.

If you are going to rent you should get someone local to find it for you, unless you can read or speak VN. Landlords in Vn are atrocious, they want everything their way.You can look at Craigslist VN, Mua Ban, Nhadatcuaban and so on.

I guess food in Vietnam is really edible Timmy unless you want to know if it is unique in any way? If you are a frequent visitor there, then you should know people around the city that might be able to help you. Are you planning to retire in Vietnam in any case?

cwemoy, why not just provide answers?

FOODS OF THE VIETNAMESE

Plain rice (com trang) is at the center of the Vietnamese diet. Steamed rice is part of almost every meal. The Vietnamese prefer long-grain white rice, as opposed to the short-grain rice more common in Chinese cooking. Rice is also transformed into other common ingredients such as rice wine, rice vinegar, rice noodles, and rice paper wrappers for spring rolls.

Rice is also used to make noodles. There are four main types of rice noodles used in Vietnamese cooking. Banh pho are the wide white noodles used in the quintessential Vietnamese soup, pho. Bun noodles (also called rice vermicelli) look like long white strings when cooked. Banh hoi are a thinner version of bun noodles. In addition, there are dried glass, or cellophane, noodles (mien or bun tao) made from mung bean starch.
