Write if you get work.

Well, bad news. The two jobs that we thought we'd lined up in Hanoi have fallen through. One due to the economy, the other we're not quite sure about. Anyway, we've been rather discouraged, but O. just came across an article that says that Vietnamese schools prefer to hire teachers after assessing them in person. It also says that many of the jobs are never posted on the web.

Which brings us to a momentous decision: we're going to move to Vietnam without jobs for a least a month or two and see what we can scare up. We're still researching this option, but everyone we've talked to so far confirms that this is a better way to get that first job.

So. It's scary, but it looks like the best way forward. Either way it will be an adventure. We're targeting mid-August for departure.

Wish us luck.
