The Beginning

My children have suggested I write a blog about our adventures in Vietnam. In explanation my family is my husband,4 children (aged 18, 16, 14 and 11)and myself. We are moving to Ho Chi Minh city because I have a new job there and months ago when I applied and was lucky to get the job everyone was very excited and supportive. For the most part everyone still is, though 2 hours before leaving Sydney my 11 year old did ask "Do you really think we are making the right decision?" so if I wasn't already stressed about renting our house, checking passports and visas, moving kids to a new country and a new school, I was now even more stressed that I was dragging my family to another country kicking and screaming; but they keep telling me it will be fun! Only time will tell as we navigate life in an Asian country that has restricted access to facebook, has no MacDonalds, traffic that makes being a pedestrian really scary and money that goes into the millions!
