It took me a bit to think about what questions I would most like to ask (that haven't already been asked), and so...here goes:<br /><br />- You say that you live in a "compound". Why is that? Is it for safety's sake? You seem to wander about Vietnam pretty freely, so I assume you feel relatively safe. Is it housing that is provided for you? Is it just your preference, and you could easily live in a less secure situation?<br /><br />- When in Vietnam, do you ever yearn for English-speaking cultural experiences? Do you crave the ability to attend a lecture at an art museum?...or go to a touring Broadway play?<br /><br />- Kate<br />P.S.; I assume you have friends in New Hampshire, but maybe not. If you have any questions about life in NH, I'd be happy to try to answer those! We moved here seven years ago, so I'm no great expert, but feel like this southern California city girl has learned a lot moving to the country!

If only, we could add them to our luggage and travel with them. I think there was a time when people did just that. It is hard choosing a lifestyle when you have a pet at home. We often wonder what we will do "after" Tika. I say sign me up for another. Just not sure if it is realistic.

Thank you for sharing your life with ...Hello Jeanne<br />Thank you for sharing your life with us. I admit I was curious but make a habit of only accepting what one wishes to tell me. I can envision your life even more now. I understand your concern and thoughts on Tika. We have a similar situation, where Spice Girl must remain in Ireland now while we travel and being away from her is difficult of us. We make repeated short trips back to see her. (Many think we are a bit soft in the head for doing this!) Your wardrobe choice is sensible for your climate. Thank God for linen, fine cotton and silks. <br />Wishing you a great week<br />Helen xxhelen tilstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02791882664528962799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-16042185443705739802015-03-01T09:02:31.419-05:002015-03-01T09:02:31.419-05:00Thank you for the information
