Many foreigners have come to Nha Trang and chosen this beautiful beach city to stay and settle down. We are going to tell about such some stories.
. Where loves start
Four years ago, Anton Novoselov, 33, formerly a Russian naval soldier traveled to Nha Trang on a 2-week trip. However, he liked the city so much that he decided to stay and live here. Then, he opened Checkpoint Restaurant at 27 Nguyen Thien Thuat Street, Nha Trang selling Russian food for those who love Russian cuisine and Russian culture. “I love Nha Trang very much. It’s sunny and warm all year and people here are very friendly”, said Anton. Happily, he met and fell in love with Dzyuba Elena, a Russian girl from Vladivostok. Both of them love Nha Trang and consider it as their second hometown. They also revealed that more and more their countrymen came to Nha Trang for tourism as well as business. The couple also often take them to interesting spots in Nha Trang.
Tara Laughlin, an English owner of Guava, 34F Nguyen Thien Thuat Street, Nha Trang, also met her love in Nha Trang and they planned to make their home in this land.
Nha Trang is also the starting place for love story of Raju Nair Kuru, financial manager of Sunrise Nha Trang Beach Hotel. Ten year ago, the Indian man came to Nha Trang to work for Ana Mandara Resort after traveling over many countries. Soon, he felt love for a Vietnamese girl and got married with her. “People pay money to travel to Nha Trang, why I don’t stay here. Nha Trang has given me a lot”, he proudly said.
. And how they live?
Visiting a French couple Geùrard Lomorlette and Pierrette Lomorlette in the suburban commune Vinh Thai, Nha Trang one day, I witnessed how the foreigners lived here. Their villa lies in the middle of a 3,000 sq.m. garden with green trees and beside a yellow rice field, making up a picturesque scenery. Mrs. Pierrette Lomorlette reminded, “I left Vietnam for France in 1955 when I was nine. In 1986, my mother and I returned to Vietnam. Since then, every two years, my husband and I traveled to the country. In a trans-Vietnam trip, we visited Nha Trang. Our love for the beautiful beach city came by chance but deeply. And in 2002, we moved to Nha Trang to live to enjoy the peace and warm climate here”.

And then, they take care of chickens and vegetable plants like real rural people. Their life is very peaceful. “Since moving here, my health improves very much. I want to live in Nha Trang till the end of my life”, Geùrard Lomorlette confided.
