Goals for Vietnam 2009

After studying abroad in Shanghai last year and experiencing the entire culture shock and realizations about my own culture, I’ve set more specific and more meaningful goals for myself. Instead of setting out to confirm my biases and stereotypes about Vietnam, I want to observed and understand what life is like for a typical Vietnamese person. I have a general sense of how they probably view life and it has always been a negative one. However, I wish to participate and engage in conversations with local Vietnamese and hopefully not be viewed as a foreigner passing by.

The original goal that brought me to Vietnam was the business opportunities that still remain hidden in the country. I have no clue where it is or how I can become involved with. Yes, I originally came here with intentions of exploiting the vast amounts of cheap labor and natural resources but the more I learn about how this conflicts with my morals the lower it is on my list of priority. However, at this point, it is still on my list.

Another goal I have is to better understand myself, I don’t mean who I am or whatever, but a sense of how my relationship with people develop. I make a lot of friends but I end up losing a lot of them. I don’t know if its my natural tendency to do so because I’m so involved with many things (which I feel is the main reason) or if its just my personality is not compatible with anyone else’s. Whatever it is, I want to find out and work on it in the next few months.

  1. I'M NOW FULFILL FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE LOAN I GOT FROM Mr Benjamin Lee .I would like to bring this to the notice of the public about how i came in contact with Mr Benjamin after i lost my job and being denied loan by my bank and other financial institution due to my credit score. I could not pay my children's fees. I was behind on bills, about to be thrown out of the house due to my inability to pay my rent, It was during this period my kids were taken from me by foster care. Then I set out to seek for funds online where I lost $3,670 that I borrowed from friends which I was rip off by two online loan companies. Until i read about Mr Benjamin Lee helping people with an loan online in which this email was stated (247officedept@gmail.com) somewhere on the internet, Still wasn't convinced because of what i have been through until a relative of mine who is a clergy also told me about the ongoing loan scheme  at a very low interest rate of 2%% and lovely repayment terms without penalty for default of payment. I have no choice than to also contact them which i did through text +1-989-394-3740 and Mr Benjamin responded back to me That day was the I'M best and greatest day of my life which can never be forgotten when i receive a credit alert of $400,000.00 Usd loan amount i applied for. I utilized the loan effectively to pay up my debts and to start up a business and today I and my kids are so happy and fulfilled. You can as well contact them through email: (247officedept@gmail.com)  WhatsApptext  helpline: +1-989-394-3740 Why am i doing this? I am doing this to save as many that are in need of a loan not to be victims of scams on the internet. Thanks and God bless you all, I'm Oleksander Artem from Horizon Park BC , Ukrain.
