Or, an explanation.
Really, I started this blog a week ago. I pondered, I wrote, I took pictures, and was very clever. What I did not manage to do was start the actual, you know, blog.
So, for the next several posts, bear this in mind. When I refer to, oh, being in California a week ago, this is because when I actually wrote the post, I had only been here a week.
Now that I've been here for two whole weeks, of course, my perspective is ever so much wiser and more refined.
Teaching English in Saigon means stepping into an alternate universe where teachers are well-paid, socially desirable, dissolute hell-raisers--and I'm glamorous, exotic, and well-off. It's also a blank space in terms of my expectations: I speak no Vietnamese, and my knowledge of the culture is limited to pho and Full Metal Jacket. I intend to learn, have fun, and make friends and money--and then write about it all for your reading pleasure. Now with 100% more sass!
