Q: Is Vietnam food same as Chinese, only more healthy?

Noodle soups, rice dishes, etc. Same dishes, but with less oil, more vegetables, less sauce.

I wouldn't say so. There are similarities, the ones you mentioned, but the balance of flavours is quite different different, and the Vietnamese use many more herbs, in a much greater volume, to flavour their food. Sweet sauces for main meals are quite rare, slightly salty broths are more the norm.

You're right about the oil, I find the food here in Vietnam much more healthy than the food I ate in China. Plates of food swimming in oil are very rare.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
