From Los Angeles, California. Best state in the nation. The only place I'm patriotic about. San Francisco/Berkeley Bay Area is the best. Lived in Tokyo for seven years; a great city. Lived in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; the worst experience of my life. Now living and working in HCMC, Vietnam, and loving it though I am poor and just working part time. Loving and accepting each day of your life is more important than money. Do the right thing in your life that you know in your heart is right.

I'm 57 and feel age and 'credential' discrimination. Don't have a masters. Don't have a celta. Have a decade of experience and a California English credential from Berkeley, but I might as well have gone to Boonyville. Can't do anything about my age, except get healthier. Which is a good thing.
No where else I'd rather be. Vietnamese are great even when they're not.
It's hot like arabia, but also humid...but the rainy season is coming !
taught at a dysfunctional vocational school to lost young men. Then worked at King Abdullaziz University to lazy young men.
Everyone, including me, is there for the money. 30% of the population is expats, all there for the money.
For most humans, religion is part of their life. For Saudis, the religious gov't, etc....their religion IS their life.
Grew up, troubled teens, great twenties in the SF bay area.
California is the best state in the nation for its variety of landscapes and people.
Too many people.
