My Different Orient; A Memoir

When you see the world, the world sees you. Dietmar Vogelmann took a chance years ago and left his country to start a new life in Vietnam. His experience in hospitality management led to him being hired at a Vietnamese 5-star beachside resort. But his initial experience was less than memorable. In fact, he wanted to leave just as soon as he had arrived. But something called to him and made him stay. Maybe it was the friendly native population who welcomed him with open arms. Or perhaps the endless business opportunities that awaited in this small country full of potential. Vietnam proved its magic when Dietmar fell in love with a wonderful woman who soon became his wife. With their new child in tow, Dietmar decided to stay there as long as possible. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to create both a nightclub and a coffee-roasting business. Through their successes and failures, he learned how a strong work ethic and determination can make any challenge easier to bear. In this far-off foreign land, Dietmar found the American Dream was alive and well. And with his new family cheering him on, Dietmar discovered that love is the same, no matter where you reside. My Different Orient is a compelling look at culture shock, entrepreneurism and the all-consuming power of love. Dietmar's experiences are unique yet universal, because we all have something within us that pushes us to our greatest heights. And when love is our foundation... there's no telling how far we can go.
