"I was just an English teacher."

Joined by Sandy, an old friend and one of the first guests on the show, we discuss the phrase 'just an English teacher,' our experiences living in Vietnam, and Sandy's transition to becoming an adoption lawyer in America.

Sandy shares his reasons for coming back to Saigon, noting the significant improvements such as the increased level of English and the rise of electric vehicles. We dive into the convenience of life in Vietnam and the deep friendships that keep Sandy returning.

This episode is filled with humor, heartfelt moments, and a celebration of our personal and professional growth since 2019.
