Have a few adult business classes but that's about it.

I seriously don't think I can assmilate into American culture again. After living in other countries for some time, the thought of returning to a large suburb, having to drive a car through traffic to work long hours, and taking 2 weeks off per year, is difficult to do.

I take 2 months off per year to travel.

In America people can't take two months off because they are up to their ears in debt, and the work-culture will not allow it.

Come to paradice....you may never leave....

They using Korean mercaneries now in Vietnam? What is that all about?

Indeed, Koreans and Japanese can come to Vietnam visa free.
They are investing a lot of money via 100% foreign owned companies, and the Vietnamese want and need foreign investment to help build the infrastructure here.

It's a myriad of cultures. I hang out with British, Americans, and Australians, work and interact with Vietnamese everyday, and work heavily with Koreans.

There is business opportunity here if someone is willing to be 100% foreign owened. Joint ventures usually end up in a disaster, for many reasons.

If anyone is interested, I have a lot of web links I can sent to them.
