My wife and I have been offered positions working in Vietnam... Bien Hoa to be exact (just northeast of Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon). We are probably going to sign the contracts and accept them tomorrow.

Is it just me or does it sound like Charlie was ripping Blondie's "Call Me!" in that song?

Going to Vietnam will increase our income, lower our expenses, and give us some new scenery...without bombers invading our airspace. Plus, we want to visit Cambodia and love to vacation in Thailand. Both are very close to 'Nam. |

But heck for you it's probably like moving to the suburbs after being in Taipei. |

We signed the contracts and emailed them back tonight. Hopefully everything will go smoothly in the transition.

We got our email from the school confirming our hire, and we were added to the WhatsApp group.
...now we have to sell a ton of crap including a car and scooters, electronics that don't run on 220v, and miscellany that isn't worth shipping. That said, they are giving us $1700 for shipping, so we will ship everything we can. Even if it is towels, it is less to purchase once we land. We have a lot of hoops to jump through to make the move... more than usual because... Vietnam. From everything I read and watch, living there is no different than living anywhere else, but it is a communist country, so the immigration red tape is a bit to wade through.
