Ding! Ding! Ding! I found what you're looking for betches! C A P H E S U A D A "Vietnamese Iced Coffee With Condensed Milk [& A Pinch of Cocaine] I guess you could say I've been slumming it in terms of coffee. Until recently I have only had coffee from the street. Well … Continue reading Coffee or Cocaine?
When Belinda was in Ho Chi Minh I wanted to immediately get out of Ho Chi Minh and go to Mui Ne. However, Belinda wanted to experience the city and get a feel for what a typical week might be for me. Even though it was my birthday week, she did travel 20+ hours to see … Continue reading Binh Quoi Village
I will be totally honest. When I made the decision to teach English abroad the thought of 'teaching' never crossed my mind. It sounds silly, but I'm being serious. I would tell my friends I would be, "Molding young minds," and give them my best Grinch face. While in Cambodia completing my TESOL training there were several … Continue reading The Teacher Chronicles
BELINDA CAME TO HO CHI MINH FOR MY 23rd BIRTHDAY. It was by far one of the best birthday presents I have ever received. I was born in San Diego and grew up in Cerritos, CA. So when it was time to decide where to go for college (sophomore year in college - I committed early) … Continue reading The Real MVP

Too many districts. Two Days. Plus Teaching. May the odds be ever in your favor. The morning after I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, I went to lunch with the other Language Corps teachers to discover that HARDWELL (I love Hardwell. We share the same birthday. And I love his hair color) had DJ'd in … Continue reading Two Days Of Fun
Out of the blue, my phone decided to say night night after going running while here in Vietnam. Obviously if I was home I would have simply made a Genius Bar appointment and taken it to an apple store. Of course they don't have apple stores here in Vietnam. They have 'Certified Apple Resellers and Repairs' … Continue reading The Instagrams That Never Made It — Pt. 3
This is really awkward, but Megan tried to kill me on Sunday. To say I'm skeptical about driving on a moto after my mini accident on Freaky Friday Halloween is an understatement. I can easily drive to Hien's for lunch because it is basically a straight shot from my apartment. I'm okaaaaaay with driving to … Continue reading That One Time Megan Tried To Kill Me
Erm, well..... Ho Chi Minh has been a little bit loopy lately Within a 72 hour period I interviewed for a teaching job, demo'd (taught a class with someone analyzing me), was hired and signed a contract for said teaching position. In the midst of all of the interviewing, Meeg and I were on a hunt for an apartment … Continue reading 0-100
