Hi everyone, im moving to saigon around the end of Feb/early March and id like to get in contact with some other expats or locals before i arrive. I dont know anyone there and if anyone would like to give me some pointers on Do's and Dont's, social etiquette or anything of the like i would really appreciate it. I have just completed my TESOL course and have 3 years of a psychology degree completed, however i still have a honor year to complete and so dont have a degree as such. Im told i should still be abe to find employment, is this the case?
If anyone would be interested in catching up next year please let me know im an easy going bloke and wont try to analyze the depths of your mind as some Tv shows would portray, rather i love a chat and a cold beer. Problem is i dont know anyone or anywhere to do this. Cheers

You might want to apply for a job as an English teacher. I recommend ILA and VUS (Clever Learn, SEAMEO and others are also nice, but I am working for ILA, so I am suggesting it!! 
)
By the way, I am also interested in psychology. Can we talk sometime?? :x
