Hanoi is an amazing city for teaching English. While the cost of living is quite low, salaries are high for ESL teachers who have taken an advanced TESOL certification course such as TESL Canada, Trinity CertTESOL, or CELTA.

Hanoi’s architectural style resembles various cultures, including ancient Chinese, Parisian French, and even the Soviet era. The Tran Quoc Pagoda, the Museleum of Ho Chi Minh, the Presidential Palace, and the Opera House are emblematic buildings that show a piece of history. On October 2010, the city hit the thousand year-old mark!

Hanoi is a city of different seasons and moods. The springs and falls are extremely pleasant, the summers are too hot and the winters are too dull. Visiting the parks, street markets, and the Halong Bay are inexpensive ways to grasp the flavour and beauty of Hanoi.
