Hello Everyone
I've been living in Tan Bien in the Tay Ninh province for 2 years now and I have never seen another Westerner here, not one - until the other day. I had a fleeting and completely unexpected glimpse as they drove past with their partner on their motorbike - but it was a Westerner, confirmed by the shop owner of the ice cream establishment they had just stopped at.
Now while I do enjoy immersing myself in the local culture and with my wonderful Vietnamese family here in this dusty old town, it is always nice too after a period of time to put the world to right/wrong/or fall off a bar stool (it would have to be one of those little plastic chairs around this way) and speak fluently in your native tongue (I certainly can't in Vietnamese).
So I am just inquiring as to whether there are any other Westerner's hidden away in Tan Bien and if so, would you like to meet up and put the world to right/wrong etc occasionally over a cold beer or two?
