The most useful application in Vietnam - Grab

The very first, what should be done, when you are out of the plane in Vietnam, other than buying a local SIM cards – installing the application for travel around the city.

Why is it profitable, than travel on a motorcycle with a random grandfather, a crossroads. – Price initially visible, everything is calculated and even when I catch the driver grab from the street, I ask him to make you want me to address through the grab and immediately show me sum, so then we had no discrepancies, surprises and aggression, which is out of frustration.

Why am I writing, that many remain without work? – Many of the older generation of drivers are still trying to watch passers-by at the crossroads, They offer a ride, shout, bibikayut, but in fact, for 7 years, things have changed dramatically and now the lion's share of orders for the trip arrives via the Internet, smartphones, apps. A grandfather sad smoking on the corner. even time, было, I asked the driver, who lived with his family at the crossroads, how it happened, and why he can not make money on housing for their three children and a pregnant wife. Он сказал, his phone is broken / missing and now a corner he raises 50-150 thousand VND per day.

The list of must-have applications for life in Vietnam

From my brief experience Vietnam accommodation, I can highlight a few apps, which use.

• Facebook messenger – to, he captured the world, Vietnam certainly. Everyone has, new acquaintances ask your facebook, one does not get out from there.
• Zalo (Salo or Yalo) – local messenger, which is also very popular among the people. But Fbuke think maybe more people.
• Kriptovalyutny purse – because, so easy, you money Vietnamese (If it works here) does not withdraw from the country. Western Union transfers are only for transfers from abroad. Therefore, two options, or you are looking for compatriots, Vietnamese who need cash and do not need a clearing in a bank in your home. Or are looking for that in facebook, who do not need cryptocurrency, and his house, who needs. To the second version, I have not got, but I ponder over it.

That's all for today, Radio Saigon is disabled and goes to eat Bhamo with kofiem. Download useful applications, move around the city cheaply or for free, communicate, send money (I)! Have a nice day.
