Agreed. To other readers, I'm sorry if there is any confusion between what I wrote and how kurtz replied. I originally wrote a longer post which discussed Thailand, Cambodia and a few others things. However, after hitting 'Submit' I decided that I was getting a bit too far off topic so I edited it.
In regards to dating, relationships with the opposite sex etc I think it's an interesting discussion so I'll start a new thread on it and see how it goes  . |

I have lived an taught in Vietnam for 12+ years.
Jobs everywhere? Yes, there are jobs everywhere. Jobs you want? Different story.
Reality will set in after the honeymoon
"so your friend told you...." oh, boy...I remember those days. Landing will be hard.

Gross, before taxes.
Dual prices, visas, visa runs.
Paradise if you want to live in a small dark concrete box and drink on the small plastic stools where your knees hit your chest.
You've only been in VN for a couple of days......
I hope you post in a couple months and let us know how it goes.... |

Why do you think VN is a "paradise"? As others have already mentioned, even those who "love" the place find it annoying and challenging on a daily basis.
What has the Prof. really told you? |

Truer words...
And even truer in the north! I hated it when I first arrived, but gradually things improved to where now I love it, but it remains quite a stressful place. How? Well, just ask me about any major aspect of life, such as food, water, air, money, transportation, weather, communication, etc., and I'll tell you. If I hadn't made such great friends there, I'd be out of there. |

| I expect various flotsam and debauched characters to be peddling TEFL for quite some time; this would not be the case so much if a 4-year degree and a CELTA would be the requirements; a pee test for cannabis and an HIV test might make things harder for some as well. Will the Vietnamese Govt. ever insist on such requirements? |
Come on, let Vietnam retain its character, please. Professionals like you and I will always commend a premium so what are you worried about? (Oh wait, the grammar Nazis are here. I mean, about what are you worried?)
