+Dinner with Mariah I know, quirky just like calling football..football when you carry the "football" in your hands. We could go on. Seriously though the food in the restaurant looked delicious. ty babe.
I like vietnamese because of their cuisine , beauty girls and I have some
very good Viet friends too.
but I don't know why so many Vietnamese-American talk so much about
politic, regime negatively... they seem like living in the past forever..
I know right. the oversea viets all hate our country because it's communist and what not and they think we need their country's governemt. it's too bad they don't know that the real viets that grew up unified vietnam love our country. they should just keep to themselves and respect unified Vietnam and we overseas back. it's been 40 years after all
I'm Korean and so when I started going to a new school, I met this
Vietnamese girl and she told me she was part Korean. So I asked her (cause
I was curious) "so you speak Korean too right?" and she answered "I mean my
parents are Vietnamese but my uncle-in-law is half Korean, so technically
I'm Korean." and it really disappointed me that she wasn't proud of her
Vietnamese identity. She likes Kpop and the fact that she identifies as a
Korean when she has no Korean blood in her, it really really disappoints
me...
I'm Vietnamese and I met this group of kids that is Vietnamese, born in Vn, parents all Vietnamese but went to international school in Vn, they NEVER speak Vietnamese to other kid that is not from international schools (I don't think they even speak vietnamese to anyone). It really bothered me they have no proud of their own mother tounge. And yeah. Vietnamese be like that.

I've never heard any Vietnamese people associating with France. Growing up,
France is a totally foreign culture and they didn't influence us that much
besides the bread. The bread is not that important in our culture anyways
+Christine Augustine lol I never said anything disrespectful towards them. That's the truth. That was the reason Vietnamese dominates the nail salon industry. Being skill less was the truth. What else do you expect from women coming from a wartorn country? That's how it all started, and nothing shameful in admitting it. From there it grew and developed.
+moonlight wow... yea, cuz I actually thought that pho was french.... Or that the french invented manicures. Lmao... Hey, great for all those skill-less uneducated women you described, you clearly have as much respect for Vietnamese women as you have knowledge of soup.
+Christine Augustine sorry but you're wrong. Vietnamese own mnail shops has nothing to do with French. Doing nails is an easy job for migrant women with no english and with no skills. It's not too hard to pick up, it doesn't have the status baggage like being a cleaner or a maid. Vietnamese saw this and invested heavily in nail salons, employing other women from the country. How can you claim pho is French??? You obviously know nothing about pho. Darling pho is just one of our many noodle dishes using the same method of cooking and the same concept. Pho is the name of the noodle not the dish, we also have pho cuon, pho xao and other dishes with the pho noodle which is called pho. Pho is not descended from pot au feu like some Francophiles like to claim. The only French influence in pho is likely the use of beef since Vietnamese eat pork more. But that doesn't mean anything! Otherwise Italian cuisine would be considered heavily influenced by Mexico just because Italians eat tomatoes! Of course there is French influence on Vietnamese culture, but it's extremely small and way TOO overexggerated and overstated. Like I said, to most Vietnamese France is a foreign country with a far away culture and is not thought of much at all in daily life. Maybe some Vietnamese who live in France feel some connections to France or wanting to be related to French but definitely not Vietnamese people from Vietnam
Ummmm.... French go to Vietnam with their "french manicures" and now every block in US has a vietnamese owned nail salon with a pho spot next door... I would say thats a significant influence on the livelihood and independence of Vietnamese women especially.
I feel torn about the French thing. Claiming that you're
"French-Vietnamese" is almost like you're weirdly dissociating from the
Vietnamese part of yourself. The whole world is too obsessed with European
culture. Being Asian is a thing to be proud of.
+nuwanda French not present in Vietnam, they leave some ruin building, Bread , that all
"Yen's" Vietnamese restaurant in Nha Trang Vietnam
Definitely the best restaurant of Vietnamese cuisine in Nha Trang. Here you can try the dishes from all over Vietnam from Nothern to Southern dishes. Traditional ...
