Hi, I’m Mark aka @thesaigoneer, our man in Danang.
Perpetual geek, history enthusiast.
I only run marathons of the mind these days.
Long time resident of Vietnam, since 2017.
Dutchie by origin, but there's a reason I moved away 13515 kilometres.
Came for business, stayed for the people.
This blog will be a wrapper for my infinitely chaotic mind and musings, and there's no way to predict what those will be.
The Dolce Far Niente reflects on these little tidbits, sweet idleness (at least for me), without a very specific reason. It's all not so important.
Hope you enjoy the ride, I certainly will, and look forward to conversations and the exchange of ideas.
Best regards, Mark
