Thailand has good medical care and even though I haven't tried it, Singapore is said to have high quality care also.

If, at the end of my days, the sum of what I've taken exceeds the sum of what I've given, then I have lived in vain.

Why Ho Chi Minh City? It is crowded, noisy, scruffy, crazy, but always interesting and things are happening all at a break neck speed.

Indochina gets into your blood and once you have a taste you'll find it's impossible to stay away.

The Vietnam War was in full swing, the Air Force wanted me and I wanted out of Flint, so three years in the USA and that fourth one spent here in Vietnam really flipped my life around.

Overall the cost of living in Ho Chi Minh City is cheap and if you can stay away from Western restaurants and use just local products in your everyday life it's really cheap.

My home address is a small apartment in Fair Oaks, California but I'm here in Ho Chi Minh City right now staying in a rented room and this is where I spend a good part of every year.
