On the other hand, clearly Asia is Asia, and requires a fair amount of adaptation. At least you will eat well:).

(Do you know, almost every time I go on Twitter (if it's morning) I feel the urge to say 'Good Morning Twitter!' in that Good Morning Vietnam voice, but I doubt if anyone would hear the 'voice'.)<br /><br />But wow! Vietnam! What a complete adventure. My friend's husband works for Ford and their longest posting was in England (7 years!) but when it came time to move it was just as you say, spread over almost a year of 'Switzerland! oh wait, no...' then 'Malaysia! Oh wait, no...' and finally 'USA! Yes!' She's Italian and he's German so this is definitely an expat posting for her and she's loving it.<br /><br />Good luck with the preparations! You'll have a lot of wonderful photo opportunities there :)Michelloui | The American Residenthttp://www.theamericanresident.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-68469426968754490342011-11-05T18:07:22.804-04:002011-11-05T18:07:22.804-04:00Vietnam!!

My life seems so utterly boring and mundane in comparison.<br /><br />I'm happy for you and can't wait to follow you there, but must admit it's a bit sad to not have you just across the pond. Not that we've ever visited each other, but the knowledge that we could - within two hours - have been nice:-Dcarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09086636830513427701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-22898766509776496772011-11-05T16:58:18.302-04:002011-11-05T16:58:18.302-04:00Jeanne, Happy Saturday!

I am sure that it will be quite an experience an many wonderful and different ways. I am sure that as with every move you will be the family rock to help establish and make a wonderful home! I wish you so many wonderful happy adventures and experiences! I am sure that we will all be here to lend and ear, to follow along on an adventure to experience the taste and sounds of the new city and home.<br /><br />Can I ask, do you ever get a choice of where you want to go? And can you say no if you do not want to go where they suggest? <br /><br />I hope you are relaxing and I am sure that you are already making losts of lists. How soon do they come and pack you up? And how long does it take to ship your things there?<br /><br />Take care my friend! Enjoy the time left in England and know we are all here for the ride.<br /><br />xo ElizabethElizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-58556348682852661352011-11-05T16:36:36.156-04:002011-11-05T16:36:36.156-04:00I love Vietnam!

However, the nice thing about the blogosphere is that you'll have the support of a lot of readers as you go about the task. And, for us dedicated followers of your blogs, although we won't have to do any of the actual work of moving, we will get to enjoy the adventure right along with you.
