Oh How Sad!

You would think living in a house on a piece of property about the size of a football field would be a wonderful thing.  And...if your neighbor's property were as large or larger and you were all living on the side of a beautiful mountain in a lovely state like Vermont, you might think that was wonderful too. You would have everything you could want, open spaces, quiet clean environment, privacy, the closest neighbor 100 meters away, living the American Dream...right? That's what we thought!  
 
Meet Neung....our lovely Vietnamese hostess, owner of LaVie Hotel in Nha Trang.  After viewing our abode on a web page designed to show our beautiful home to prospective buyers (yes...we're trying to sell it)  she made a quick comment that the house looked beautiful.  A few seconds later she started to ask questions.  Where are the other houses? How far to the next neighbor?  How far to the village?  Once she had an idea of the space between us and our neighbors a mournful expression came over her face and she said in a very low tone "oh...thats so sad"!

The idea of privacy is not on their radar.
