Take a few more rides, find someone who can communicate with you reasonably well and hooked him (or her!) up. Most taxi drivers are more than willing to be your regular, but of course if your hours are weird then may be tougher. This is the way I ... Read More

Hello! I am currently in transit on my way to Ho Chi Minh to start a TEFL/TESOL course in the middle of February and have free time leading up to it. Me being the stereotypical ignorant English citizen I've completely forgotten about TET and ...
