Readjusting back to my American life certainly was not difficult. I bought all the things I couldn’t , I ate the things I couldn’t, and I hung out with the people I couldn’t in VN.
I worked VN hours as much as I could, trying to implement the project from afar. Fortunately, it went in under budget and on schedule.
That’s it… My Vietnam experience ended as quickly as it began. I truly miss my coworkers over there, and the entire experience. I am disappointed I didn’t get to venture outside Ho Chi Minh City, but its just an excuse to go back. I know Ha Long Bay will be in my travel plans, for sure.
I think about Vietnam all the time. And how quickly it flew. I keep some VND in my wallet just to have around, and its a pretty good conversation starter. I have my little Buddha in my car and at my desk. And luckily, I am keeping in contact with some of my coworkers from over there. In fact they sent me some pictures:
Yes I had my ups and downs in Asia, but for the most part I wouldn’t change a single thing. The people I met, the experiences I had, and the heat I dealt with will stick with me forever.
