1992

Joey was 7 years old in 1992 and went to Disneyland

.

There is more water in the air in Vietnam than California

.

Few times like maybe 5 times or so

.

Anh Coffee

Problem

.

Should

Can

.

Staff got mad at me Friday morning

.

What

Why

.

Mad = crazy or angry

.

Same staff man or boy who told me I was too loud also said I smelled bad

.

I was too loud when watching the movie on my laptop because we were between cafe songs.

.

Outside

Walk

Sweat = water from your body

Hot

Spray

Shower

Thursday night, a friend came to Anh Coffee and was talking to me and then I did not go to the bathroom to freshen up to put on spray to smell better

.

Friday morning, he said I smelled bad

.

Complain

.

Staff said 5 things to me Friday morning:

1. 7 PM tonight, we are closed

2. You do not come

3. Manager no like you to come

4. You smell bad

5. You can buy coffee but cannot stay

.

1. No visa since 2015

2. No room since 2015

.

They gave me the wrong visa which I extended 2 times but was not able to extend a 3rd time in December 2015

.

This is when I knew I had a problem with my visa

.

Travel agency

2 weeks

.

Work visa

Travel visa

.

Vietnamese travel agencies

.

I do not want to travel too much because it takes too much:

1. Time

2. Money

3. Momentum: acceleration: when you start to go faster and then even faster

4. Emotion

.

Momentum decreases through inconsistency

.

I have a normal life here in VN and the longer I stay the more easier my life gets

.

Example:

.

If I went to America yesterday, then I would not be here right now talking to you

.

2 Choices in life:

1. Want

2. Believe in

.

Legacy

Career

Abandon: leave

Commit

.

I don't want to leave a failure

.

Potential

Ability

Purpose

Destiny

Design

.

Do what you love and love what you do

.

Passion

.

I will continue to do what I do now in Vietnam teaching and everything else too and then I will also try to fix my problems too as soon as I can like maybe this year and I may try to get a one year visa for Vietnam and after that I might go back to America and live there forever or who knows

.

Failure is if I never fix my problem now with my visa and come back to Vietnam with a new visa and with no problems

.

I want to leave Vietnam without problems

.

Overcome problems or die trying

.

To fix my problem, I need enough like:

1. Money

2. Time

3. Luck / other things maybe

.

3 month visa

Work permit is required before your first 90 days of having a work visa

.

Black list

.

3 month work visa, and I extended that 2 times for 3 months each, which adds up to 9 months

.

I am not the only one

.

Rumor: gossip: general talk without truth or evidence or specific facts

.

Overstayed: stay over the time you are allowed to stay

.

You overstay when you continue to live here after the limit or expiration date

.

My visa ended 2015-12-09: Wednesday: overstay means staying past this date.

.

A foreigner might have to pay maybe $10 to $30 USD for each day you overstay pass the end of your visa end date.

.

My visa ended about 18 months ago which means 18 X 30 X 30 to equal to fee a foreigner might pay for the late fee.

20 x 30 x 30 = 18,000 USD.

.

I have maybe less than 1,000 USD right now.

.

Invitation Letter to invite you back into Vietnam because a Vietnamese must endorse foreigners into Vietnam

.

1 day ban

5 years

Never

.

Joey has a few things he must buy or pay to fix his visa problem and that may cost thousands of dollars or millions of dongs and there may be other problems too.

.

Joey will try to save money and will try to get a Vietnamese travel agency or company to sponsor him and write him a letter before he leaves and reenters Vietnam.
