Welcome to Club ThreeOh!

My first Vietnamese lesson

I just had my first Vietnamese lesson online (www.vietcourses.com)

The verdict:
I need help practising. The structure, the grammar, the pronounciation... It's like learning to read all over again!

Anyone keen to pick up a new language?

It's Official!

The cat's out of the bag, at last!
They made the official announcement of my secondment to Vietnam come January.
Following the announcement, plenty of advises came pouring in.

"Watch out for the Vietnam Rose.."
"Bring a motorcycle helmet.."
"Go try this food.."
"Marry a viet-lass eh.."

Gosh.
I mean, thank you. I appreciate the kindness, and the sharing.
Hey, I'm only going for 2 years.
I'm coming back.
I want to come back eventually.

Nonetheless, my sincere gratitude goes to all, and the kind words.
I'll deliver my best. And I'll be back.
