Some expats work for travel angency ,because saigon is the most attractive city for western people, if your wife can speak english,i think it's easy to find a job in saigon as a chinese teacher,most schools afford accommodation.Good luck to you

Hello Daniman,

May i ask you that why both of you decide to jump to an other country but without plan/ information about the place that you will settle?
Anyway, as a foreigner, you have to get work permit to start the work/ residence in Vietnam. If you would like to find the teaching job, you must submit to school at least your qualifications and CELTA.

Well I am a qualified teacher, I can teach Spanish and English. We like tthe adventure and we are excited to come if worst comes to worst and we don´t succeed we can always go back to China.Lets hope everything goes fine :)
