Hi Hue, Hi Hue.....

... it's off to Hue we go!

Yep, I didn't get the job with ILA, so we're moving to Hue! Apparently ILA was just accredited by some stupid organization in Australia that requires all of their teachers to have a special TEFL certificate- one that I don't have. On top of that, our land lord wants to sell the house we're living in regardless of our 6 month contract. We could give them hell for it, but instead, since we've already been in Da Nang for about 3 weeks without finding a worth while job, we're taking this opportunity to get back our rent money and move 3 hours north up to Hue. Ben's friends, currently teaching in Hue, are leaving their job August 5th, so our plan is to walk into the school on the 6th and take their jobs! The plan seems flawless, but I've learned that nothing is for certain in Vietnam...

So the plan is to tell the English Academy, where I'm "working" now, next Monday that we're leaving in one week. I think they will understand, they seem pretty down to earth. Although I'm disappointed to leave the beautiful beaches in Da Nang, Hue has a beach 15 or 20 minutes away, plus it's known as the cultural "hub" of Vietnam (not to mention also as having the best and cheapest food in the country). So we'll see how that works out!
