Well, you'd better come back and live in Melbourne! There is a huge Vietnamese population here and they have gradually moved out from a couple of Vietnamese epicentres, so there are plenty of places to eat not too far from many suburbs - we have at least 3 to choose from within a 10 min drive! Yum.....
Sadly it doesn't change the fact that pretty much all of the rood involves copious amounts of rice, noodles or some other starch
Just to go off on a tangent for a second, I do want to live in Melbourne but I don’t think I will try to do it until the salaries are closer to those in Perth. Currently teachers in Melbourne get paid about $13k less than in Perth (and that’s before the 12% pay rise which was just approved in WA). Fingers crossed this improves soon!
