Vung Tau and has been there almost 8 yrs. I've been visiting yearly since 2015 during the Tet holiday but had to cancel this last trip. He loves it there, teaches English to students ages 4 to corporate adults, although they shut down this year when the pandemic first struck, getting an immediate handle on it until just recently. A few cases out of Da Nang and they shut down again (learned from SARs a couple of years ago. It's a wonderful country and your uncle is right, peaceful, lovely people. It's great hearing a former Marine speak kindly of a country we once were at war with (the Vietnamese call it "the American War&quot .

I would love to know where your uncle lives as there is a huge number of Ex-pats who live in Vung Tau, a beautiful coastal town south of Saigon.

I hope to get back there some day soon, although I am the same age as your uncle and the last four years have aged me greatly 😳
