I have been in Vietnam now for exactly one month, time certainly passes quickly.  In that time I have found a place to live, bought a motor bike (110cc of pure speed) named Oscar, began Vietnamese lessons, been to the doctor four times, eaten food that I have no idea what it is and got lost on too many occasions to count.

The people at work are great and have been very welcoming.  We all go out for lunch together every day and then we come back and have a 30min nap.  I get my washing done for me and food is pretty cheap so I eat out every day and I get a massage every couple of weeks.  Some would probably say that I have a tough life:).

Now that I am settled in I have my first guests arriving tomorrow, my brother and his girl friend from Malaysia.  Can’t wait to take them around and show off Ho Chi Minh City.

Remember, my door is always open to anyone who wants to come over for a visit.
