Coming for wives
I meant to post this a while ago, but keep forgetting. The internet is quick here, so I decided to jump at the chance. An article that appeared in the Times and the International Herald Tribune discusses the influx of Korean men looking for Vietnamese wives. Quite interesting from a few perspectives. The financial, cultural and social reason and results are quite interesting and make me glad to be in a place that I do not feel that marriage is my only option to security. Granted, it'd help, but unlike women in the States a century ago or women in SE Asia today, it isn't my only choice.
(P.S. In the few minutes since my last post, I got a call and will interview for the teaching position on Monday!)

Where's the job? An international school? Or teaching English? As a parent of school-aged kids up here in Hanoi, I'm curious to hear where, and how your interview goes.
I'll let you know where when I get the job. :) It would be teaching English, but I don't know a lot about the school itself yet. I'll put on my best charm for the interview and if I get it, I'll spill the details as to where. Either way, you'll hear about the interview.

Best of luck with the interview, -t. In fact, ace it!
(BTW, things sound--read?--much better than several blogs ago. Keep up the spirit!)
