It is so interesting to me how the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I spent 10 days visiting Vietnam and Cambodia to study how the ministry of education works in those countries, especially because of how high the level of achievement is. I was blown away by the natural beauty of the countryside and the fresh produce in all of the markets. I loved the relaxed way of life and realized a lot more people were smiling in Southeast Asia than they were here in New York City where I live. I've always dreamed of returning to this part of the world, and spending time in The Philippines and Thailand, since I didn't get to visit on my first trip there. Shoot, my partner loves spending time on the beach, so maybe I should think about getting a working visa to see if she really likes it there. I don't know how much longer I can continue to pay $1200 for my monthly rent!!
