Year 2016 In Review

in j •  6 years ago 

About the visa problem and the risk you took with that Vietnamese family. Man, that was insane! True, we should always try and see the best in people but it also would never hurt to be careful, too👌🏾But everything seemed to have turned out fine, so that's great! I'd say still, congrats for surviving that that journey😃

@Fretchie, thanks, agreed. I was trying to help them. But sometimes, you need to help yourself first. I actually understood the problems better, generally, than people who tried helping. But I was trying too hard to do too many things at the same time. I always try to multitask and hit many birds with one stone. I hurt my reputation at times even when I had good intentions. I had a visa problem for two years. So, in other words, I was homeless in Vietnam for two years. But you are right that I survived that journey. I made a lot of friends and did so much my 5 years in Vietnam. I learned a lot and did a lot. And life is full of risk. And some calculated risks are worth the investment for sure, at times, when the time is right, for sure. Thanks for writing. Oatmeal.
