Sounds like he is in good hands though and you will get plenty of feedback on his progress? Now you can concentrate on some mother daughter bonding :) . Hugs to all of you and hello to dad and mom for us. Well I guess it is congratulations? Sounds like he is in good hands though and you will get plenty of feedback on his progress?

What a wonderful blog! What a great inspiration you are to the rest of the mothers out there to open the world up to our children! I don't know if you remember me it had been almost 20 years ago! Your x and my hubby Matthew were scootering together. Anyway, I am now your VT! Please email me and we will catch up. Thanks! Janelle Teresa!

While we are not there anymore, we do plan to return. My daughter wants to get through her 8th grade year and then we'll head back as a duo instead of trio. I will get in contact via email and we'll talk specifics, but know that it will be difficult and totally worth all of it. Life is complex there, but of all the things we have ever done, living in Vietnam was the most life-enriching and completely changed the way my children see the world. For that, I couldn't be more proud. Elizabeth,

I've endured major home repairs in the past and know how unsettling they can be. I was excited to discover a blog by a single parent living in Vietnam. I'm a single mom with a 14 year old son who's (both of us) seriously contemplating starting a new life in Vietnam. Not just moving to work for a while and experience an exotic culture, but start a new life. I'm trying to get my ducks in a row to move to (most lively) HCMC in September. After much careful detailed research, of all the Southeast Asian countries studied, Vietnam called to both my heart and mind. I lived several years ago for some months in India and therefore have experience how I can adapt to a very different culture. In fact I'm looking forward to the change. I've been scanning blogs searching for descriptions of life in HCMC and other cities in Vietnam. Is HCMC the best choice to maximize both work for me and school opportunities for my son? How does the local culture differ from Hanoi and other cities? Can we tolerate the pollution? Will be survive the pollution? There are 3 serious issues I've read about thus far: deadly traffic, pollution and water quality. One can always drink bottled water but the other two can't be avoided. Where are the international schools located? I know their addresses, but that means nothing to me. I want to locate an inexpensive apartment with relatively easy access to work and school? I'll be teaching, at least initially. It sounds live transportation around the city has a significant effect on daily quality of life, so I want to make sure that the main routes to school and work are 'relatively' manageable. These really are my top concerns. Regarding where we live: I don't want to completely surround myself with western ex-pats, yet don't want to send my son into instant culture shock either. I'm sure there are options that are a compromise. Any observations, practical advice, cautions, encouragements or otherwise are welcome. Thank you.
