Hi SS08, thanks for the shots and Happy New Year!
Hm..me not really a stories writer and not good at it.

Anyway something about me for last 12 years here..
Came to Saigon in 2008 for a holiday, alone after my divorced in 2007 in Singapore.

This was my first visit to Vietnam. Pocket only have $1,000 as my intention then was to stayed ard 10 days in Saigon and then go back to Singapore.

Not much happening until i met my current Vietnamese wife in a hospital. She was a nurse then. Due to not been able to speak Vietnamese, it was tough going to a local hospital as i were having diarrhea due to the street food. She helped me a lot as she was able to speak English. Invited her for dinner and get to know her more and in the end, we are attached.

Extended my visa for another 3 months through visa agent then. Move from hotel to a house renting a small room. Me and my wife stayed there. Then i decided to stay here and start looking for a job. Send out some many resume but never got a replied until i met a Hanoi boss whom speak Chinese. He was a high ranking police officer then.
