In January Tim accepted a position at Saigon South International School in Ho Chi Minh City. Moving to Vietnam didn't feel "real" until our recent trip there to visit the school, look at housing options, and meet the people we will live and work with.
We are happy to report that we loved being there! It seems like a great fit for our family and a very fun place to live! We walked more in five days than we have walked in five months in Doha. We look forward to living outdoors again, and we are all registered for a motorcycle course so that we can drive a scooter!
Tim will be the Assistant Principal for the High School and Simon is registered to attend SSIS for Grade 11. Lisa will stay at home for a couple of months to get everyone settled into new routines. And Max, of course, will be eleven time zones away in Canada at the University of Waterloo.
While the tropical climate of Vietnam is much more humid than the desert that we have lived in for the last five years, we really enjoyed the rain, the lush vegetation, the clean air, and the breezes in the evening.
We also were thrilled to have locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables! Vietnamese food is so organic-feeling and the spices are new to our palate.
