That was a long flight, but I think it will be worth it.
The Vietnamese people are very nice people. On the plane I met a woman who organizes Vietnamese students to study abroad and she offered me a weekend job teaching English. She also spent a little time teaching me Vietnamese, which lead to a conversation with the older gentleman behind me telling me to get married in the country. :)
Two women who work at VINACOSH (my worksite) picked me up at the airport and helped me settle my apartment. It's just perfect for me with internet and all utilities already set up.
It's a nice little place that I will call home for the next 10 weeks.
OH BOY the time change. Hanoi is 11 hours ahead of Atlanta so I attempted to reduce my jet lag by staying up late 2-4am and sleeping in late a couple days before my flight. I followed the plan well except for the sleep in late part. Consequently spending 26 hours on a plane or in an airport and already being sleep deprived from before, I've already taken two naps and I'm getting ready for bed. It worked somewhat well because I'm tired at nighttime and hopefully won't be tired tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow I am meeting more people from VINACOSH and buying a plane ticket to Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon) to meet the ACS project consultant this weekend.
Wish everyone well this summer.
That apartment actually looks sweet!
