cafes vs coworking for video calls in saigon

Cafés: great wifi most of the time, cheap, but noisy and the music volume is random. Power outlets hit or miss.

Coworking: quiet booths, stable AC, meeting rooms. Costs more but my calls stopped getting interrupted by blenders.

My combo: café mornings for focus work, coworking afternoons for calls.

    Same combo. Also have a mobile hotspot as backup, the wifi drops when it storms.

    Upstairs floors of cafés are usually quieter. Go up before you sit down.

    Time zones are the real pain. US calls at 9pm local, so a quiet apartment matters more than the office.

    Ugh yes, the 9pm calls. Glad it's not just me.
