In retrospect, would you move again to Vietnam? by Christine
Hi all, If you had to look back on your expat experience in Vietnam, would you heartily say "let聮s do it again"? From the preparation stage to your actual everyday life in your new country, what did you enjoy the most? Would you do certain ...
I'm a newbe to the forum, planning on retiring this year, looking for a place elsewhere from Australia. If you don't mind my asking, on what basis are business visas issued. I am a teacher - would I qualify. Beats border jumping ad ... Read More
