I was very lucky to find countless English-speaking people from the day I moved in. The neighborhood was unusually noisy, especially at night, but my new friends assured me that I would get used to it, and in time even stop noticing the noise at all. They were right.
The cost of living was so low that even my very modest salary easily covered not just the essentials, but pretty much any luxury item that I was able to find !!
Anyway, I don’t care where you go, there is no other place quite like the U.S. of A.
But after serving the longest year of my life with a combat unit in the Mekong Delta, I suppose that a LOT of other places in the world would seem like paradise…
