Hi, thanks for letting me find my feet here. I'm a 48 year old Australian from the Gold Coast, engaged to an amazing Vietnamese angel and due to marry in April 2016 and move here (Da Nang) in January or February, before the Vietnamese New Year.
I have many questions of course and I'll find my way around here soon enough.
15 years spent in the music industry in Australia with Sony Music, mostly managing the Australian Artists Division and still keep my toe in the water.
7 years in London as an Event Manager including the United Nations World Summit in Johannesburg in 2002.
Majored in English for my BA, also an Advanced Diploma in Business Management.....
.surely the skills applicable to a Vietnamese company looking to develop outside Vietnam?
Anyway, I face the exciting journey of bank accounts, doctors and the health system, apartment rental, visa requirements, the local language, buying motorbikes and clothes and shoes in my size (I get laughed at when I mention I'm a US size 13/14) as I'm 193 cms tall (6'3").
Anyway, I'm sure I'll be asking heaps of questions, stop me if you get sick of seeing me in here but all assistance will be greatly appreciated!!
Of course I intend to offer any advice I can impart to newbies as I develop my skills and experience here.
