(no subject)
I'm back to confused.
I'm in Vietnam, living in a huge, modern house with all the conveniences. I have a bike, a chauffeur (taxi paid by the school) and I earn more than most of the population.
But i feel like i stepped out of the comfortable australian rat race into the (by comparison) very uncomfortable vietnamese rat race.
I have a mortgage to pay, a degree to do, and a life to be had, and i'm finding it hard to balance the 3.
Do i work my butt off to earn enough money to be able to socialise and pay the mortgage, or do i take the lower paying job with a better life and then not get to party? Its a frustrating dilemma. Add onto this that there is no music scene at all in Hanoi and you can see my frustration.
On the one hand i feel like i am just looking a gift horse inthe mouth.
I do not want to sell either of my properties under any circumstance.
I do not want to be completely broke all the time - thats getting old, and fast.
I do not want to never go out... Its so sad you know i've been here over 2 months and havent seen any of the tourist sites.. I've literally been on course or working since i got here. Its a shame.. but thats property ownership i suppose. Will i look back and say "i should have sold?"
If i did sell.. would i look back and say "what was i thinking?"
hmmm
