How to like Vietnam after 15 years

Advice (ie pub talk) last night from an expat of 15 years and counting in Vietnam.

To paraphrase:

“It’s okay to not like everything or to approve of everything.  Compartmentalise.  I like this. I don’t like that.

“Just because there are parts you don’t like, or don’t approve of, or you wish would change – it doesn’t mean you have to decide to dislike everything.”
