If you plan to stick around in Vietnam then its pretty easy to find long term jobs after EMG, but I find a lot of people either miss home or want to move on. In any case June is unpaid.

I wish I could have done much more during you know... the early time (younger and single day :). Well, you could say that we would be never too old to travel.

I have never been to Europe; I have been to a few places in Asia (South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, Hong Kong) mainly thru business travels. But then I took some personal times to explore and have been to some amazing places. In all, I like Japan the most. It's a great place to visit. I have been to 6 cities in Japan and found that each has its own unique things. It was really fun and exciting. The Covid came and stops all the business travel :(. I can't wait to be able to travel again soon.
