I dont think there is a difference between modern women and those of the past when it comes to emotional and physical seperation from ones homeland. Thank you for your good wishes.
I didn’t mean to touch on such an emotional subject (for you and for many of us living in foreign lands!) I thought you felt differently since you went to Africa relatively recently on your own to start a business. From what I gather, you’re probably still fairly young and have been away from VN just a few years so far, so there is still hope.

Is there a Vietnamese or Asian community where you live? What is the local food like? And do you speak some African language(s) or English is the main communication language there?
