It is a lot of change, and scarier than shit to be doing it all by myself. I have to admit - it's a very solitary, lonely road that I'm traveling on right now. I don't know that many people can really understand how challenging it is everyday; new career, new country, new home (well - no home yet - still living out of a suitcase). Keep sending positive vibes my way as I need all the help I can get!! Laisan - you are right...that did give me an uplifting laugh! Hope to meet you in person soon over coffee! Sherry Lynn,

You're right, its a LOT of change to process in a short period. But I don't believe its a waste, no matter what you decide to do in the long run. If you had never done this you would always be wondering and dreaming about doing this - traveling, teaching. So now you ARE doing it, and even if in the end you decide teaching is not for you, at least you have found out something further about yourself. But....I think you already know you enjoy teaching. There's many ways to teach, so you may have to try different venues before you find the one that's right for you. In the meantime. once you get through this initial shock I think it will be fun to hear about Vietnam becoming your "home"... Hugs, Lynn Sherry,

Like you I also moved from the business world into teaching. For me the move was more than vindicated. Best thing I could ever have done. Teaching's a blast. Keep blogging and I'll keep reading. backpackingteacher Am really enjoying your reading your blog as you come to terms with life in Saigon.
