Can you imagine what it's like to move to a country like Vietnam and reinvent yourself?

Life in Hanoi is a series of stories of some amazing expats who did just that. Like the author, Pam Scott, these otherwise ordinary men and women took deliberate steps to invent a life for themselves in the exotic city of Hanoi. They came from a mixture of cultures and backgrounds, but they were not diplomats and high-flyers living in expat compounds on expense accounts. They all had one thing in common, a love of this beautiful Vietnamese city and its people.

Life in Hanoi reveals that you don't have to be brilliant or famous or have some unique talent to try living in a completely different culture. All it requires is the desire and a little courage to step out into the unknown and dare to be different.

Author Information

Born in Sydney and originally trained in pharmacy, Pam Scott later undertook further studies as she raised her two sons, finally graduating with a PhD in science and technology policy in 1986. She then worked at the University of Wollongong for a number of years before moving to live in Vietnam in early 1994.

Initially, Pam worked as a consultant in the telecommunications industry in Vietnam, then as a visiting professor at the National Economics University Business School in Hanoi. Later, she worked as a project manager with an aid organisation, and she even opened Hanoi's first English-language bookshop, the Bookworm, which continues today with new owners. After living in Hanoi for eight years she wrote her first book about Vietnam: Hanoi Stories: eight wonderful years in Vietnam's capital. Since then she has written a number of other books about Vietnam, the second being Life in Hanoi. In 2009 Scott was selected as Asialink Literature Resident in Vietnam. She is currently living in Sydney.
