Hello! I am a Dutch girl but Vietnamese from origin. Born in Saigon. But grew up in Holland. I am still living in Amsterdam.Great city. I work in the marketing and sales business. My partner is a lawyer. Have a great live. However since some time now, it is like my roots is calling me. I am looking for a job for the end of this year. I want to live in Vietnam for a while to expand my knowledge, find more about my own roots. I would make a perfect combination of the two worlds. Actually at this time it is still a blur.  I just want to contact some people there to help me clear the way to find...whatever that brings me closer to my roots.
Thanks in advance!

I wish you luck in finding what you're looking for. 

I found this website for the Dutch Business Association in Vietnam.  There's a link to a .pdf also.  Hope it helps.
