π»π³ THE SIDE OF WESTERN EXPATS IN VIETNAM THE ALGORITHM WON’T SHOW YOU
The negative gets the algorithm.
When a Western foreigner in Vietnam does something stupid, disrespectful, or criminal, it gets shared everywhere. And because those stories get clicks, it can create the impression that this represents Western expats as a whole.
It doesn't.
Look at what happened recently in MΕ©i NΓ©.
More than 100 people came together to clean up the beaches after large amounts of ocean waste washed ashore. Local residents, police, military personnel, youth volunteers, tourists — and Western foreigners living in MΕ©i NΓ© — all joined together to clean up the coastline.
That's something worth remembering.
There are plenty of Western expats living in Vietnam who aren't there just to take from the country. They're learning the culture, respecting the people, building businesses, teaching, volunteering, helping their communities and contributing to the society that has welcomed them as guests.
Yes, some Western foreigners behave badly. But they're a small minority.
The internet just has a way of making the worst examples look like the majority because outrage gets clicks.
There is another side to Western expat life in Vietnam — people who respect the country, love the people and genuinely try to make the communities they're living in a little better.
Brush Your Teeth.
