Hey out there.
I am in Quy Nhon. Been here a week and I am still lost.
I have a decent-enough room in a small hotel near the beach, am renting a small Honda that runs, though no one has been taking care of maintenance on it and trying to study Vietnamese
on the online courses and Youtube.
I studied Vietnamese at the school in Monterey 50 years ago, prior to going to I Corps. I have found that people speak differently than I remember - even the phrase for "Hello" is different.
ANd of course my accent is off. Ordering a meal is more than a challenge.
Just joined this ex-pat forum a few weeks ago, while I was in Thailand. I see that threads are out of
date.
So I am attempting to re-open this thread - to communicate with other veterans and get help
getting acculturated.
Looking forward to hearing (reading ?) from y'all, and possibly meeting for a cup of coffee if you
are nearby.
