A sunny afternoon, on the Gold Coast, in Australia, enjoying lunch with friends, gazing out, at the sparkling blue waters of the pacific ocean, from the elevated deck of Nobby's surf club, the last thing on my mind, was living in Vietnam.
Some three years later, I cannot see myself leaving.
Teaching English in Vietnam, and having the pleasure, of spending time, with what I consider to be, the friendliest people on earth, the utter poverty, yet, the joy on the faces of the children, the simple pleasure they experience rolling a bycycle tyre around with a stick, being invited, to sit, well, not really sit, squat, on the tiny plastic stools, and chat, share a beer, is all part of my life now, and I would not have it any other way.
Vietnam grabs you, and doesn't let you go.
My life changed, after completing my TESOL training in HCMC, and then moving on to teach English in Phan Thiet. A city on the coast, a little over 4 hours north of Saigon. The many experiences there, and the friends I made, stay with me always.
Vietnam !
