Hi,
I've accepted a teaching position at a school in HCM so will be heading over at the end of July. The blog has been really really helpful in preparing!
I'm an English teacher from the UK and I've been teaching 7 years. I lived 5 years in Rome and spent the last 5 years in Spain living in Córdoba, Sevilla, San Sebastian and Mallorca. I also lived a few months in Cyprus! I love travelling (",)
Looking forward to arriving and hope to meet new people!

StephenV: just a friendly triggering point that you have only lived in European cities, and Asian society and culture is a heck of a lot different. Still, when in Saigon, do as the Saigonese do, LOL. Happy and peaceful days to you.
