@Fretchie, thanks, agreed. I was trying to help them. But sometimes, you need to help yourself first. I actually understood the problems better, generally, than people who tried helping. But I was trying too hard to do too many things at the same time. I always try to multitask and hit many birds with one stone. I hurt my reputation at times even when I had good intentions. I had a visa problem for two years. So, in other words, I was homeless in Vietnam for two years. But you are right that I survived that journey. I made a lot of friends and did so much my 5 years in Vietnam. I learned a lot and did a lot. And life is full of risk. And some calculated risks are worth the investment for sure, at times, when the time is right, for sure. Thanks for writing. Oatmeal.
