And in USA 1 of every 3 women at work are victims of sexual harassment. Your country would be no paradise on earth even, but spreading bad words about others is easy.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693328314011739038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28252309435154784.post-50239575179067724982017-02-20T07:54:33.158-08:002017-02-20T07:54:33.158-08:00Love this honest post.

On difficult days, treat yourself well (it used to be boiled peanuts, a beer, and MTV Asia for me). On the great days, think of how much you're learning and growing. I am proud of your observations and questions-- they mean you are observant, sensitive, and not arrogant (all great qualities!). I'm sorry you weren't better informed by your organization about what to bring and how to dress. We were well prepped that way. Consider paying it forward by dropping some of these insights into a short PDF or other doc for others at the org, as you go. Just because you don't hear from us often doesn't mean you aren't missed very much! Take good care. Enjoy the journey! Ps I got boob and pimple comments all of the time in Vietnam, even from children : /femaleprofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152006388108707495noreply@blogger.com
