13 Hours Over the Ocean

We left Manhattan KS yesterday morning at 6:20AM.  I stayed up all night last night with a few friends from Manhattan so that I would sleep on the plane and be able to sleep when we get to Ho Chi Minh City at 9PM the following day.  LeAnn and I are sitting in Tokyo as I type waiting for a couple hours for our flight to HCMC.

Everything is going well so far, except for when I spilled my pop and then later LeAnn's plastic fork broke and her chicken and rice blew up all over the place.

I always tend to elaborate and explain my random bits of information within this blog, since that is probably the purpose of a blog.  Such as:  how I now have a girlfriend, and how this whole teaching overseas idea came about, but sometimes I think it's important to leave room for people's imagination.

But just to officially make this a 'real' blog I will give a few details to fill in some gaps.

LeAnn and I met in grad school. We were both public speaking GTA's at K-State.  We both share the desire to travel around the world and we both enjoy each other's company quite a bit.  Okay moving on...

We are both being trained to be TOEFL certified with a company called LanguageCorps.  I heard about them through a colleague.  LanguageCorp has offices all around the world, we choose Vietnam because neither of us have been to Asia, it is very different from our western world, and it will be more profitable for us.  (LeAnn has a small debt to pay off, so going to a place where we could save some money was a high priority.)

It's nice to be looking out a window to a rainy Tokyo.

BS Foreverr! It's kind of like Batman Forever, but it has more of a sequel flavor to it. You'd know it if you saw it, but you'd never look back if you saw it twice.
