Encouragement

Things move so quickly in this world now. New ways to communicate. This simiple blog is lost in all the AI and videos done by digial nomads. I was surprised that three people commented. I wasn't expecting any responses. I still haven't figured out how to post photos with the cell phone. I started doing this again just because of being lonely. No other reasons. I rarely see anyone here that I can talk with and my son has his own life. I do see him daily but we already know each other's lives so thoroughly that everything has already been said. I see someone close to my own age maybe once every couple of weeks. I am now 81. Not any expats but Vietnamese men and women. And we can't communicate because of the language barrier. Also, there seems to be a big difference between our health issues. An 80 year old Vietnamese person has had a much harder life than I have had and also been through the Vietnamese war. (They call it the American War.) So that ages a person quicker. Poverty doesn't help either. The average salary here for a Vietnamese person is about three hundred dollars a month. That is working twelve hours a day, seven days a week and often with no days off. That wears on a person. Mexicans don't make much more than that but they have shorter days and more days off. I thought about teaching English here. A lot of Digital Nomads make their living doing that. But I haven't worked for over twenty five years. Don't think I am up to all the stress and demands of working. So, I am trying to figure out how to do the blog again. If you are reading these words, please have patience with me as I jog my memory about how to put on photos and answer questions. I barely function myself. This isn't meant to be an information blog. There are many of those on the internet. I cannot answer questions about how to function here. I am dependent on my son to do things for me. I am just going to write about my very limited personal experiences of living in Hanoi. By a small lake. Daily experiences as I wrote about when I was living in Mexico. I appreciate all comments. Thanks, p I must amend that last statement. I don't appreciate negative comments. Keep those to yourself. I am just a lonely old woman, looking for some outlet and communication....
