"Seems we have both stumbled upon paradise, haven't we?"


The words of two expats in Nha Trang, as quoted in what is possibly the most exciting article about Nha Trang that I've read. It made me cry. I just cannot believe my good fortune. And I'm not sure how I feel about the possibility of being irrevocably held in the hypnotizing clutches of the city. Actually, I do know how I feel. I know it would be all too easy to "go bamboo", to surrender myself....

How did you find a picture of me from the future? That is me in the shade of the shack. I am wearing a blue shirt, and I am waiting for the fishing boats to appear on the horizon. I remember it like it was tomorrow!! d.

Hi Mallory,
I stumbled upon your blog. It seems we're both going to be Fulbrighters at Nha Trang! I won't be there until January, and it looks like you will be there for the entire year. What will you be doing there? I'm an American historian, but it sounds like they want me to teach English. Would you mind answering a question or two? If so, please email me at jpasset@indiana.edu. Thanks! Joanne
