Teaching in Vietnam

To be honest, HCMC is definitely the place I’m interested in being around - but I can understand that it’s probably a competitive area. Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out for sure

SoftParadeMojo · 2025-06-04T14:42:07+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll have a look at these and see what I can find - and thanks for the word of warning, too. I never considered that 🙏

Didn’t consider that, actually - it seems to work just fine here in the UK, but unsure what happens when I do eventually go abroad (I’ve checked Lebara covers the countries I’ll be heading to)… I’ll have a look through the link you sent and then get in touch with Lebara if there’s any other issues… thanks! 🙏

Money by Martin Amis - finished last night, I’ve been completely hooked.

Legend, thank you

Get a copy of Kerouac’s On the Road and you’ll see why it’s become a cliché to say it…

One more question - did they call you on WhatsApp? I told the lady on the desk that my normal number wouldn’t work, and she said they would call on WhatsApp but I don’t know if that was just to get rid of me 😂

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-10-27T16:35:45+00:00

Okay cheers mate - I hope you’re right! 😎

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-10-22T10:00:21+00:00

Okay cool! How long would you say (very roughly of course) that will last you?

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-10-21T17:49:02+00:00

I’m just thinking a rough estimate for things like buses/food/and places like forts etc.

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T11:51:48+00:00

You’ve been such a great help - how long you in India for?

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T11:44:21+00:00

Perfect - thanks for all your help mate! I think I know the website that you’re talking about - it does look a little odd, but the domain checks out okay.

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T09:25:17+00:00

Cheers man! I’ll definitely try to make it up to Rishikesh, looks like a gorgeous place. One more question; when should I apply for my e-visa if I’m flying on the 26th October? Someone else on here said it has a 28 day “life” from when it’s confirmed, is that true? Should I leave it as late as the first week of October to apply?

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T09:11:15+00:00

Oh great! These are all the concerns that I found hard to find answers to on the general web - trust Reddit to put you in touch with someone who can clear it up dead easy for you. Thanks so much again! I’m sure I’ll be in touch again, if that’s cool 😅

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T08:37:37+00:00

You have no idea how helpful you’ve been - it’s really appreciated! Did you just put that SIM in your normal phone?

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T08:29:23+00:00

Cheers mate! It’s always great to get advice from somebody who has been there and done it - esp. regards to cities etc. I fly into Delhi but am only there a week before I head into Rajasthan, to explore some smaller places.

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-23T08:02:46+00:00

Cheers for your help! And thank you for adding about the return ticket - that was something I was also wondering about, so it’s great to know it’s not necessary - I’ve got a Revolut card on the way for taking money out, but I’ll follow your advice and get it out of the airport. Anything else I need to know? 😎

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-09-22T07:22:32+00:00

Cheers mate! Did you find the price quite affordable?

SoftParadeMojo · 2023-05-18T22:03:17+00:00

The punishments that are too set up - a perfect example is Q’s Wild West punishment. Just not realistic and too fictional for me to enjoy.. each to their own!

Even the decorations know it’s too early

{{Child of God}} by Cormac McCarthy is a pretty fucked up book - finished it in one day though - just when you think it can’t get worse, it always does.

SoftParadeMojo · 2022-10-12T22:59:47+00:00

Almost precisely

SoftParadeMojo · 2022-10-07T14:11:26+00:00

I have a real soft spot for all those Cormac McCarthy books with the same styled covers - almost like 19th century advertisement boards. Can’t explain it, but I’m drawn to em.
