Hi Everyone I'm Darryn from England. I've lived in central VN for 8 years now. I wanted to ask any other like minded long term expats if they've had or know anything about this problem. I've heard about new travelers getting a bad ...

Hi THIGV Nice to hear from a fellow. I think I'll take the A1C test. Haha. Luckily I have retained enough Englishness to forego the noodles and rice. I normally eat potatoes but I saw on the internet that they are a carb that turns to blood ... Read More
