Taipei

Weekend travel is back! Friend's birthday, and a short weekend trip to Taipei. I really need to sort out an APEC card. It feels good to be jumping on a flight after work for some food and celebration.

Vietnam

The whole visa process is an interesting concept, allowing people to visit the country with a fee. This error, is classic me, careless and rushed. Ho Chi Minh Sea Port. I'll never make that mistake again. What proved to be an expensive exercise. 250 USD for an express visa , cancelation of original flights 120 USD, rebooking of new flights 320 USD. So almost 690 USD dollars, here we are, back on course, just 10 hours later, with spiked stress, a layover in Da Nang. Be we made it!

New job: An offer

After all that, I've received an offer - not exactly what I'm after - but still negotiating. There's obvious sacrifices, but lots of opportunity, I guess these decisions aren't always clear up. The negotiation continues. It comes down to the push/pull. What's pushing me away, what's pulling me towards.
