Upon my arrival in Hanoi, I was greeted by my wonderful Moony who I have not seen for over two months. We have kept in touch over email, internet phone and finally resorting to Skype as I have figured out how to pay with my credit card online. (Sounds weird for an IT guy with over 12 years of experience on computers)I spent my first weekend finishing up preparing Moon's Student Visa Application for Canada and at the same time catching up with old friends from the school I used to work at. I have realized that I have arrived at a sensitive time as most of the teachers were suffering from end of year stress and they are seriously ready to leave Vietnam for their annual holidays back home in their own countries. I was also happy enough to see my closest friends who came to my farewell party in April and was more than happy to be at their farewell parties for the last few days. Some of them got new jobs in other countries, and some of them are heading back to home for good and one of them is planning his Hollywood movie script writing career on the beaches of Mexico.
My plan at this time, will be a waiting game for Moon's visa which I expect will take approximately one month and then both of us will be planning to head to Calgary to start our new chapter in our lives. She will be studying at Mount Royal College towards an education degree and I will be heading back to work in the hot Calgary Oil and Gas / IT economy. I also have plans to get back into the Volleyball action with the men's league on Thursday nights so of course there is lots of "getting back into shape" is required as the beer in Germany has made a little bit of a hill on my stomach :)
