"America, such a wonderful country. "

It's funny, hanging out with Vietnamese-Americans makes me more aware of that on a daily basis.

The other day I was on the phone with a customer service rep, and started to spell my wife's name for him ("It's Vietnamese.... N-G-U....")

"That's OK. I know how to spell it. It's my last name too."

Stuff like that makes me happy.

I've liked Vietnamese Americans in all my encounters with them. Too bad the best pho restaurant in Broward county shut down and now is a Chinese restaurant. I love pho!


Do you know if most Vietnam's here are ethnic Chinese?

The funny part is this Nguyen rep. may have had zero accent. Sounded 100% native American becasue that's what he is.

Freedom worth fighting for till the very end..?
