VIETNAM | Thursday, 9 June 2016 | Views [262]

Kevin went riding with Mike to Marble Mountain. Sharon had sent through some suggestions for my resume and I made these corrections as she had worked previously at writing resumes in Australia. Not that I knew this when I asked her to look at it. The final version was very very brief and virtually made no reference to my working life other that the name of my employer and the years worked there. It was very focused on my teaching efforts since getting my TESOL qualifications. Sharon told me that these are young girls who have no idea about Western jobs and they are only looking for teaching experiences. I decided to trust her and told her to send it off. After Kevin had finished breakfast I said we should go to the bank and open his bank account. We headed off to VietcomBank and after 40 minutes it was all done. I set up a Western Union account for him and when we tried to transfer money it was declined. Not sure what happened there. On the way back I stopped and got a Bahn Mi at Phuong's. Kevin decided to vegg for the rest of the day as he was feeling fatigued, so he stayed in the air conditioning and watched Netflix. On checking my email I had received a response from Topica and they wanted some further information. I sent this through to Jasmine  and she then sent me some further information on the company and asked that I watch a video. Once I had done this she then wanted to set up a Skype  interview. I told her I would let her know a time as I had to head off for my lesson with Tri. Vang has been in Danang all day with her brother Nam who was having the pins removed from his leg in hospital. When I got home from teaching Kevin decided that he was really hungry and wanted to go to dInner at Baba’s Indian. We hopped on the scooter and headed into town. There were people everywhere. Appears to be plenty of VN tourists as well as Korean and other nationalities. At the restaurant I ordered. Hi keen korma, no spice and Kevin ordered the same but with medium spices. Well poor Kevin, it was so hot his mouth was burning, he was perspiring and his nose was running. He has learned to order only mild in future.
