    I know you've left Vietnam but girlllll thank you so so much for sharing your experience! I'm from London and considering whether to move to Thailand or Vietnam. I'm more inclined to go Thailand because I feel like they are used to seeing Africans whereas I am a bit concerned about Vietnam and the racism. I'm not dealing with it lol. Imagine how dumb some people are, my English accent is considered posh to many lol but these imbeciles will judge based on my complexion. I'm glad you still travelled regardless and enjoyed your experience regardless of such foolishness.

    Thanks for the love. I’d still do lots of research. That was the beginning of my 4/5 years there. I love Vietnam so much and I’m considering going back. Thailand doesn’t pay as well and I think the perks are also different. Definitely weigh up your options. Racism/ignorance in Asia exists everywhere unfortunately 😩 x

Can you drink alcohol? And last one, can a person choose how much of the stomach you want removed? Like say 50% instead of 80 or 90.

    Hi guys I'm in the research stage of my process. Anyone know where I can do an unbiased check on a doctor in Turkey. I'll leave his name here incase anyone know anything of him. Dr. Mani Habibi at Antalya Anatolian hospital. I've done Google, and a couple of sites to check but I don't know if there's more I can do to verify if I'm trusting the right doctor. Any info will help. Oh and he's charging €2000 is that necessarily a red flag.

    My heart is out there for you. I managed to go 4 years teaching in Vietnam. I am from the West Country of England was displaced there because I was a refugee child from the Vietnam war. When I returned to Vietnam to try and understand my heritage, I was met with the same ignorance and confusion as yourself. People would often ask me, where are you from. I would explain that I'm from England. They would react and tell me that I'm Asian so I can't be from England. I would respond that I am like you as my bloodline comes from China. The would be like. nooooooo. I am Vietnamee, I am not China. This was a conversation with a professional Doctor. he could not comprehend that people can be of different skin colour and be from England. I remember the complaints that came from parents about my ethnicity. The truth of the matter is, kids will complain to their parents if they are not learning anything. White teachers would get hammered with ridiculous complaints also. I remember a White teacher being complained about because he was wearing all black. The reality was, that he was an inexperienced teacher. A job I applied for once told me to my face that they will pay me less because I am not white. I found my language school to be very supportive. They would deal the complaint well and offer an observation to see where I could improve my teaching. In the absolute worse case, they would move that student to another class. Even with Obama visiting Vietnam during my stay, there was still a huge level of ignorance. I suppose it's just something us ethnic minorities from England need to embrace and learn to laugh about it. What I learned from this experience was that fools see skin colour and intelligent people see character. Vietnam, you will stop being so foolish at some point.
