My husband came here on a business trip in 1997 and I accompanied him in 1998.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We both immediately fell in love with the charm and charisma of HCMC and wanted to move here right away. We finally made it here after ten years in May 2008. We used Asian Tigers Group for our moving services as they had previously moved us from <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/resources\/destination-guide\/indonesia\/\">Indonesia<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/resources\/destination-guide\/korea\/\">Korea<\/a> and four years later, Korea <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the USA<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was a given that for our next business <a href=\"https:\/\/asiantigersgroup.com\/service\/relocation-management-services\/\">relocation<\/a> we would use Asian Tigers Group <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">move us back to Asia. They also assisted us with our visas and resident cards.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their assistance and introduction to many different Chamber and Networking groups, we have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">met <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so many wonderful friends along the way!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our stay in Vietnam has been exhilarating and filled with thrilling experiences.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beaches in Danang, NhaTrang, Mui Ne, Ho Tram, have beautiful resorts with several popular Golf Courses such as Vin Pearl Golf, Hoianna, The Bluffs, Montgomery Links, Dong Nai, etc.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vietnam is rich in history, with UNESCO world heritage sites.
