@Ed Ward The sad persona of someone with a backward mind who feels we as black people should continue to suffer for the cause. We are all now free to come and go as we wish to wherever we choose. We as fellow human beings should be supporting and empowering those who have decided to try something different and it has succeeded. Angee with no man by her side consciously researched and chose her path with her precious children beside her who experienced many firsts with delight. Instead of praising her you berate her. You are of no use to fellow black people.
I'm black and I've been living in Vietnam for more than 4 years. Best decision of my life. Exposure to racism here is ZERO, at least for me. Vietnamese people, if you don't know, you are the most beautiful people and I want to thank you, a million times, for making me feel so welcome in your country.
If you are still in Viet Nam can I correspond with you? I have visited saigon and loved it, I’m ready to make a move, but not sure how to find apartment, get work permit (teaching) etc.
She's absolutely right about local Vietnamese just being innocently curious about different skin colours and hair textures. And it is NOT just exclusive to black skin and hair. As I white male living in Saigon for a very long time, I cannot count the number of times young people have politely asked (or motioned) to touch the hair on my arms, my beard stubble, or examine my green eyes closely. I've never once felt it was racist, but instead endearingly affectionate and playful. In fact, we usually all end up united in cheerful laughter afterwards. A gentle human touch is the cornerstone of breaking down social barriers. In the West, we build trust and new friends with handshakes. Hand in hand is very intimate too, and rarely considered rude.
That's so called a privilege. Think about this, you see an asian in your country, Would you be curious about their appearance? Would you be so welcoming like they treat to you when you visit Asia? Could asian easily get a well paid teaching job in your country? No, for most of the south east asians, they don't even have a passport. How unfair the world treats asians!
@??7991¿¿ no Racism is put in place to cause division by those who rule. Once you understand that you will understand it all. Respect the differences and let people be.
I have lived in America for 2 years and im not gonna lie thay people here are kinda fake. They smile at you, they will talk to you but then if you are not there, they will talk shit about you. I find it very hard to find a TRUE friend here. But oh well, i'm going to college soon so hopefully i can find one there. I'm still trying to adapt to American culture. I just miss Vietnam so much. I had so much fun there. I really wanna come back
I laughed out loud at that part 'cause it is just too accurate we are just really curious most of the time, and find meeting foreigners no matter the race really amusing because by that way we can learn new things. I have to admit genreally most of the time schools would prefer to hire white ppl as teachers over black ones. However the highschool I go to is in the same area as the University of Languages and International Studies as well as National Uni and I see a lot of black teachers on my way to school everyday or during lunch breaks, like, a lot. The owners of the shops and restaurants in the surrounding area seem to be very used to seeing them too, that the teachers can sometimes get a discount if the owner is in good mood.
Don’t tell them about Santa Claus although seems innocent you’re instilling lying in them. My parents were pathological liars..made me very good at sniffing out bs.
George Duckson I wouldn’t either. We are in Thailand and I’ve homeschooled the entire time. Luckily we have some friends with cool kids so after they are out of school, the kids play. It’s tricky finding balance but not impossible
I lived in Vietnam for 4 months when I was working at one of the universities in Hanoi. By far the most rewarding experience, I've ever had. There was an ease of life that I appreciated. My co-workers and teachers ( who taught me Vietnamese) were amazing to me. Cannot wait to go back
In fact, foreigners are completely wrong when thinking that Vietnam really welcomes you, perhaps you have not surfed social networks for articles related to Vietnamese politics. My country has the right to curse the US and capitalist countries in the worst way possible, that's what the Vietnamese government wants, if someone defends Americans or capitalist countries there will be countless virtual accounts personally attack that person
As the Nomad Capitalist says: “Go where you are treated best” and many times that is not at the home you grew up. And many times that not even the place where people look like you.
Ericson Smith I understand what you are saying and all . But we think all of these countries are “ good “ until they fail . And now we get stuck because we don’t wanna live in Africa
@@gtas321 actually in vietnam they only say "người da đen" (black people), they don't have any different words to say that doesn't sound offensive to the word that you might know it
Love when people give more respect to Vietnam. Remember when I first studied abroad, people only know Vietnam as poor country, Vietnamese war, dangerous country,etc. It hurted me so bad. Vietnam is beautiful country with rich culture and friendly people.
Feel the same thing. Still there're a lot of bad reputations of our country out there but that ain't stop the goodness which is populating constantly. So proud to be Vietnamese.
Truee. Vietnam has so many greater things than just wars. Vietnamese are warriors of course, but we have more than that. Im hurt when some countries look down on Vietnam. I don't feel safe living in America. I'm scared of guns
The first impression of Japaneses about Vietnam when they talked to me is A country which drowned in long-term wars. Poor and not safe. But I know what, guess which country's doing so well, much better than some great, superior likes.
I have been in Vietnam for a long time, I see here they do not discriminate against people of color and do not discriminate against skin color. Here I am loved by everyone. Many people often look at me, not because they are discriminating but because they are curious. I find Vietnamese people quite friendly and hospitable
Vietnam is actually a home for everybody especially blacks yeah. I lived in Vietnam for a long time and it's pretty safe but sometimes the stereotype shit is crazy considering whites over blacks in terms of job opportunities yeah but anyway it's cool and safe in Vietnam 🇻🇳 cam on
I traveled through SouthEast Asia alone in 2001 and I was a naive Chinese American female and the kindness I experienced from the locals in Vietnam were truly amazing. When I got lost and asked a woman for directions, she insisted on driving me there. I didn’t speak the language but she kept pointing for me to follow her and we walked to her motorcycle. Another random woman noticed I was reading a guidebook and offered to take me on a tour of the area. People were so kind and expected nothing back in return.
I am excited to visit Vietnam, thank you for this video. Really takes an adventurous spirit and bravery to do what this lady did, moving to a new country and culture so different from your own.
This was an absolute wonderful watch. As an American born Vietnamese, this just warmed my heart. And many blessings and good fortunes to this beautiful black queen for having an open mind and open heart.
Excellent interview. I'm here in Vietnam now and she is absolutely correct. I just wish they had a retirement visa. I'm Black, from America and this is my favorite Asian country.
@ don't be fooled by how it may look to you, I'm a Vietnamese who's have been living in Viet Nam for 23 years. And colorism exists in VN much like every SEA countries. Some people might don't say it to your face but what they truly think of you especially if you have a darker skin tone is the opposite of "friendly". Sure, they may act nice in front of you, and that is called mannerism, and Vietnamese mannerism works differently than Americans. it is a good thing that you don't talk ill about your country but keep in mind that they aren't all facts, it can even be propaganda. I'm not here to generalize all Vietnamese will act like that toward dark skin people but there are a lot of individuals who are racist just like white people.
@@motomi1090 It quite understandable and acceptable what is really happen in Vietnam. Vietnamese just curious of foreigners by their apperances because they look different, there's not many foreigners in Vietnam before and the people just sometimes feel curious and might make fun of others but I could be sure it is rare to see an act of racism in Vietnam
@@motomi1090 thank you Debbie Downer. In sure even if you're light skin, ppl are always going to talk smack about you. People are talking behind your back as we speak
I recently returned from Vietnam... Ho Chi Minh City or Old Siagon, Hoi An, and Halong Bay my favorite! She is absolutely right and brave to ride the scooter especially in Siagon. I'm black, retired from military and own property in two countries abroad, it's refreshing to see other blacks actually living abroad. It really is not that hard, just take the leap... you will not regret it!
Kim Davis i strive to be like you! I’m currently serving as well but not sure if I want to make it a career. I’m ready to take the leap NOW bc I’m tired of the bs and move to Asia but I’m trying to figure out how....

@Silent Rage I lived in Vietnam in 2017 and it was amazing but he's quite right, Vietnam is still a communist country, there are no opposition parties and dissenting voices that run counter to the State are threatened or shut down. It's important to remember our privilege as foreigners in Vietnam and how unaware we are of the intricacies of daily life for Vietnamese which happens due to not knowing the language and the barrier this creates in understanding the nuances of Vietnamese culture, that being said, Vietnam is welcoming, the people are warm and I concur with most of what the Angee said as it mirrored my experience.
@@bwana3006 btw, ppl are contributing in these other countries, so i doubt contribution is the remedy when its being done in these countries. Its the freedom to live decent that's being praised and to be treated as human, rather than stock.
I remember when I was a child, I learned the song "This Earth is ours" by Truong Quan Luc and put it to music… This song is very popular with Vietnamese children. The most famous lyrics “Black and white gold, Although different skin color Dear friends, we are precious flowers Sunny fragrance and rich color for exciting new life Every flower color is precious and fragrant.”
@@bichanhlethi2961 It depends on what that dream is and who this everyone you are talking about. If you are talking about the lady in the video, she has that victim mentality that's keeping her down. If you have never lived outside of the country you are from, you will never know which country is better.
@@tuanva6484 VN không chủ trường pbvm ở cấp độ công chức, hay báo chí. Chỉ một số bộ phận người dân tiêu cực, và cũng chính những hành ảnh không tốt của rất nhiều ngừoi ở vùng này làm tình trạng thêm sâu sắc hơn, dẫn đến nhiều định kiến bị lan toả, mn chưa biết sẽ dè chừng nếu biết đến nó, không phải vô cớ mà nhiều nhà tuyển dụng nước ngoài muốn biết họ đến từ tỉnh nào. (Và không thể bỏ qua những người bất mãn, thế lực thù địch lợi dụng điều đó để gây chia rẽ, trong quần chúng)
I think this woman is so incredible. She's got tones of confidence. She just lets the negative roll off her back and takes in positivities. She's genuine and open minded. Incredible!
Wow this woman is so progressive, and radical in everything - from parenting to having the courage to choose a different life abroad. What a great spirit
love the video.. I also completely relate to everything she said from my travels to Vn, everything from riding the scooter and the chaos, to feeling free and unjudged.. Never felt racism in Vn.. But I also didn't expect everyone to love me either. I didn't mind at all folks wanting to find out more about me etc as she described. That said the bottom line is I felt respected as a person in Vn and that is core to the cullture that really appreciate. Love the country and expect to be living there in a couple of years :) Fantastic story about growing into your own in Vn.

Thay vì bình luận bằng tiếng anh mình sẽ nói tiếng việt, mong mọi người sẽ cảm thấy thoải mái khi ở việt nam, tuy không phải chỗ nào cũng tốt vẫn có những bạn hành xử có lẽ sẽ không đúng nhưng chúng mình rất thích các bạn người nước ngoài. Chúng mình không kì thị ai mà chỉ cảm thấy tò mò về các bạn và muốn tìm hiểu nhiều hơn về các bạn.
Tôi là người Việt Nam,chúng tôi luôn luôn chào đón các bạn,xem các bạn như những người Việt Nam khác,ở Việt Nam sẽ không có ai phân biệt chủng tộc,màu da cả đâu,nếu các bạn đi ngoài đường và gặp vài người nhìn các bạn thì chỉ vì họ tò mò,hiếu kỳ về các bạn mà thôi,không có sự thù ghét nào đâu,tôi chắc chắn là vậy
I had exactly the same reaction. The positive, relaxed energy in all of these interviews is mega-inspiring. You don't even see that worry-free energy from wealthy black superstars in America. Listening to her makes me extremely happy.
I’m Vietnamese. And I really like how Honestly she gave her opinions and I really appreciate it rather than having foreigners just lying about how they feel about my country. We all have flaws and Personal I think Vietnam is a safe place and it’s good to hear that they choose to stay and are now in good condition now.

Spent a year in South Korea and it was one of the best times in my life. Learned so much and had very little distraction from the media in America. She’s right about the curiosity as well with skin color, style, hair etc...
This woman’s attitude is open, honest, and easy going. What she says about the meaning of how words are used in terms of pitch and accent is a very common thing throughout different languages in several African and other countries of the world. Because language is art, the little details have the greatest meanings. I wish that the world prejudice towards Blacks becomes less of a stigma as for the upcoming generations of Black race.
when she said, "you have freedom out here" I felt that. This is exactly how I feel in South Korea. The freedom and safety I feel does not compare to America, at all. There are truly easier ways to live and when you travel you see that.
@@jeffbillingsel7389 she can always find another country to go to if things don't work out there. The idea of my comment is that once you leave America you realize how much in a box you really are.
H.T Journals that’s true and I wish more Americans will start getting out of their comfort zones. Stop watching and believing propaganda news in USA please go out there and experience everything yourself.
Ranzo, really don't know how I missed this one - it was already 2 years ago, BUT it is excellent! Can't tell you as a parent who drug her kids all over the world how much inspiration it gives me. I was right, those early experiences stay with them and assist them in critical thinking, leadership skills and just be an overall great and happy person. I used to take my 2 children to the Air and Space Museum once and week and just turn them loose. They would school me! Love it sis, carry on!
Yes, I now understand what I have just heard from this interview. ...a person who knows themselves and their place in the world...very nicely summed up.
Just stumbled upon this great and very informative interview. I had been hesitating to travel to Vietnam but this interview has wiped away that fear. I did some cost of living research after watching the video: I will like to live in retirement in Danang because I love beaches.
a mistake here, You want to live in retirement in Da Nang city because you love beaches. And sea food very cheap. It my hometown Da Nang city, Viet Nam :)) .Welcome you
@@esconsult1 i had some soup with dog meat in it...i was horrified at first but then it tasted like chicken. so i rolled with it..It's not that bad when bean sprouts cover up the gamey taste.
Yeah. I and our coutry welcome you. You guys can come here and start a new life. Do some small business for living or plant some green trees. Food. .. do everything legal you can for living and live peace. I will drink coffee with you guys when we have free time. Yeah. Vietnam welcome you
There's a lot of downside with living in Vietnam, especially for its citizens. The fact that it has a highly negative immigration rate (many more people leaving than coming), should tell you that it's no heaven on earth. It's a peaceful, quickly developing country with a lot to offer, to be sure, but also very flawed. That's my honest opinion as someone who grew up there.
@@d.b.2215 every country has their flaws, not only in Vietnam. The highly immigration rate because they move to other countries to work, study... and send money back to Vietnam, I think it's not negative
@@chualexx4709 I'm not saying anything about other countries. Just saying that life in Vietnam has a whole negative side to it just like any other developing country, and people shouldn't have an idealised image of it before moving there.
I love this !!!!! This lady is soooooo eloquent and articulate. Did "us" proud !!!! I'm an African American male (76 yoa), and a "Nam" veteran. I fought in the delta region, as I was in the amphibious navy. So great to know that the fight is over(LOL) ! Oh yeah, I found Vung Tau to be beautiful. As with Chu Lai, and Cam Rahn Bay !!!! YOU GO GIRL !!!!!! THINKING ABOUT BECOMING AN EXPAT MYSELF.Great to get knowledge of somewhere else besides Colombia !!!
If you do go there freedom you going to experience is amazing no restrictions and taxes and now harassment from anyone i been there 4 times its kinda like flash breath of air there.
I love her way of thinking and understanding of the differences of other cultures. Now that's the mindset most people need. To not just look at the negative of every little thing.
Being Korean-American, I had the blessing to know what life is like outside of America early in my life. Many Americans have no idea how insular US society it is. We claim to be a "diverse" nation that is accepting of all cultures and a melting pot, but any minority knows that you never feel truly accepted and deal with being racially profiled, stereotyped, and marginalized on a frequent basis. I am glad to see more and more African-Americans see that there are better living opportunities for them and not have to endure a situation where they feel stifled.
Truth. It many places it doesn't even feel like a melting pot of any kind -more like a bunch of different communities keeping to themselves and forming stereotypes of "the Other".
Thats because the idea of a successful melting pot does not exist, when you put people together who have different values they are bound to clash with each other. Most eastern asian countries are smart enough to realize this and put severe restrictions on who comes into their country.
@@Lost_Hwasal Thankfully, in Asia, unlike many Western countries they did not enslave millions of people only to claim later that they had no claim to the land and want to preserve racial homogeneity. Therefore their want to preserve their culture can be seen as cultural preservation just like Africa's can. Unfortunately the West decided to take Native land, use African people and work Chinese people and only now want to claim its their land and everyone should get out.
I’m telling you, her story is *AMAZING* , probably one of the best video I’ve ever got recommended. I’m not American so obviously I can’t understand the life there, I’m not enjoy this because she’s talking good things about my country, but just … I love this video, her story is amazing. Just one of the moments I’m appreciating my English skill so I can finish the whole video ❤️
Life in America is a hell scape if you are especially black american, latino and native american. She made the right decision leaving a place that dehumanises her for existing
hey, I'm Cham people( Cham Vietnamese), I'm a minority and I really love this video, thank you for making this video, thanks Angee for sharing your genuine experiences living here. love you guys.
it’s really interesting because vietnam is not really talked about when it comes to moving to Asia. i’m always interested in Asia and want to experience everywhere. thank you for this video Ranzo!
Luna The Alien crazy thing a lot of Vietnamese hate Black ppl tho cuz of that war 🤣🤣🤣 this don’t make no sense, how many black MEN live in Vietnam...... none , CHECKMATE
@@TheConscienceOne nice ppl..i remember my tour guide at angkor wat told me they were so poor due to american bombing(they wanted to test their bombing accuracy to use on next door neighbor vietnam) in 60s which killed 25 % of their population, he had to eat grass to survive...he 's 5 foot tall and 100 pounds, i believe it.
People leave their home countries everyday to start anew in another country. It's not new and why would African Americans be any different. America is not the only place to find happiness. I think the more you travel the more you become a well rounded human being.
T j i mean if you watch alot of these videos, you see the significance of Black people, not just those in America. She even touched on it in here a little and its better seen in other videos. When a latino or just a Mexican person travel to outside countries outside south America, People dont associate them with Cartels. Now with black people, demonized worldwide. There's some European countries and middle east countries, who will harass and harm you just because where and how you look. So there's that little deep seated "fear" like is it going to be better or worse. Plus the narrative that it takes thousands of dollars to travel put alot of African americans off.(there was literally a study on this). I do agree though Traveling makes you more well rounded, can see what true proverty is, and can change your perspective for the best. Yet thats the difference, but shouldn't deter people though because........its more dangerous in the states if looking at statistics 🤣.
Dunno why youtube suggested me to watch this vid. I've never heard of your channel, nor Angee. But I watched all 44 minutes and 48 seconds and I gotta say, her Life Advice at the end is exactly what I needed to hear. So thank you.
I love how the Americans who likely never left the U.S try to convince Vietnamese people we don't have freedom. Well, we are covid-free and no one is murdered by cops. That sounds like freedome to me.
Well, actually... there are quite some murder cases by the cops usually when the suspect is in custody. I do love Vietnam and my people for all the good things, many of which are mentioned in this video
@@HoangViet598 here in america, cops can't pull over, arrest or even question a black guy without being called a racist. If the cop tries to arrest the black guy and the black guy doesnt want to be arrested, he can run away and even fight back and the cop isnt supposed to do anything back just because he is black.
@@jamesbuchanan6256 Bro you're acting like cops give a damn if they're called racist. Cops in America ARE racist af and murder people in cold blood all the time for "resisting." Open your eyes.
I agree with you Anthony, island life just about anywhere is a struggle because of the lack of resources and the high cost associated with having to import everything. And since they lack industrial resources, the only source of income for many is the tourist trade, or as you mentioned, working for low wages from the wealthy. All too often, many people make rude comments about island people that are just full of ignorance and rudeness.
most people aren't aware of cost that you have as an islander that mainlanders don't have, most people are not aware of how expensive groceries (beside produce) are there because most of it has to be imported.
Face it you have to have some type of following to make it in America you need people to be in your pyramid scheme if you really want to live the good life but other than that your going to be working your ass off paying debt building credit just to have nice things I wanted to go to tradeschool cant do it because I have bad credit and cant get a loan for 9k to pay for it... I study alot on how to be a entrepreneur and it's just too much information out there to try and take the risk in trying to do business.
@@iamnotvietnamese4083 those things are basically jokes, outside of that, we dont give a crap if people are black, if you live in Việt Nam, youre a vietnamese, youre a *đồng bào* , *cháu Bác*
Hello iam vietnamese , but why should i insult black people? Are you trying to make vietnamese looks bad ? Or trying to prove that evryone hate black people? You are pathetic
Vietnamese people are taught to live with love and respect towards other people. Only when you are disrespectful and hateful, should we judge you as a person.
What a great pity that the parents of all the communists in Vietnam failed to teach their communist children to live with love and respect towards other people who do not believe in or who oppose communism. The communists in Vietnam have been disrespectful and hateful towards all those who refuse to embrace communist dictatorship in Vietnam. Do you judge these disrespectful and hateful communists?

yeah agree. that's why our people have gone to dislike the white tourists recently , I guess that should speak volume because of their well-known entitlement.
100% agree with having visited Vietnam several times. I've never taken their comments as racist EVEN IF the same comments were said in the US, they would be. Hard to explain, but I truly believe what she says having lived it myself.
@Michal Blaszczak well....explain to me then where this took place. What country, city, and bank? You talk about free....what do you know about being free? US exploited over 40 million people during the mortgage crisis. Tell me where in Asia you experienced such injustice in buying real estate.
As much inspiring this story is, I have to say it does happen more easily for people from developed countries to just wander around, travel and decide to live and work anywhere they want. It doesn't happen the other way around.
Angee is an amazing person and I love this. I am a white guy from New York who has been living in Vietnam since 1995 but who has been here part of each year since 1988. I met a Vietnamese woman in New York in 1976 and were married in 1977... still married. If I could learn Vietnamese then so can Angee so please take the step of confidence that you can learn and then go ahead and learn it. The Vietnamese love word play and Angee can have a ton of fun with some simple spoonerisms (syllable reversal like "hu ai yow = how are you".) People will love that! On my first trip in 1988 I can say it was so different than now. There were still Amerasians all over. America took them in a few years later, Anyway, I remember meeting a group of about 15 black Amerasians hanging out on Le Loi Street (Saigon) and my wife and I took them to the Bach Dang Ice Cream shop on Le Loi Street and had one of the most memorable evenings in my life. Today that would cost a bit of money but back then it was nothing. One interesting thing about Vietnam is that there are people of many ethnic backgrounds and some with very dark skin. Generally speaking people prefer light skin as Angee said but regardless... I don't think that anyone could comprehend the notion of separating people on a public bus according to skin color as was done in parts of American when I was growing up in the 1950s. And Angee is right about being able to do anything with exception political stuff. But I can say for the things I like to do I have never had any issue.
@loveaodai100 loveaodai100 Nếu cháu không nhầm thì bác có phải là người hay vác máy ảnh đi chụp áo dài ở quận 1 không nhỉ? Cháu có xem 1 phóng sự hay một video phỏng vấn về bác.
TOTALLY agree. Vietnam is AWESOME. I've been here for 8 months and so far I love it. There's no discrimination as far as skin color goes, in fact, the darker you are, the more people wanna take photos with you LOL. Really cool people and vibes, amazing cost of living. Can't recommend it enough
I have to say... Daaamn, that woman gets it. I am Vietnamese and after hearing Angie's story and the way she bravely took a leap into unknown, moved her family and kids to totally different environment and country. That takes guts. In addition, the way Angie perceives Vietnamese culture and Vietnamese people. It just astonishes me. I have only 1 thing to say and that is - RESPECT!
This lady has such a wonderful outlook on life. Very articulate. Instead of thinking everyone is against you, she embraced the situation and succeeded her life in Saigon.
Huy Dang, this is great English! And don't ever apologize for it: you communicated! We understood! You didn't stay silent just in case your English wasn't perfect. Thank you for sharing your point of view. :)
I'm in california and i actually know a lot of vietamese out here. By *FAR* to me personally Vietamese, Cambodians, and koreans are the most friendly to black people... Not to say others arent but these groups u get the right vibe.
Not Korean, they not friendly at all with black people but also with other countries, that they think not developed as their country. Southeast Asia as an example.
This lady is Amazing...If you got the will anything is possible..she is a pioneering free spirit ..pure inspiration makes you believe anything is possible
"I don't know how he makin his rent -- by only selling glitter...." "Give me the sugar cane juice!" To interview all these beautiful people must be the best job in the world. LOL
I am very, very, very happy when someone says "I like Vietnam". I know our country is well developed, there are many difficulties, but we always welcome everyone. I don't care what religion you follow, where you come from, what color you have, if you come to Vietnam to travel or live we always welcome you and love you.
I visited Vietnam in December 2018 and went to Hanoi, Ninh Ninh, Ha Long Bay and Ho Chi Minh city and can attest to the fact the Vietnam's people and natural beauty make the country a paradise on Earth. Vivacious Vietnam indeed,

This was a wonderful interview. I love the natural scene i.e. dog barking, cars, You kept it real. Thank you. It's not often to see North America Black women do what you are doing.
I love how Anggie described the Vietnamese people’s attitude toward black people. Its purely child-like curiosity, nothing like racism or discrimination.
shes lying. Vietnamese people werent born yesterday. There plenty of tourists and African immigrants in Vietnam. This lady cant even speak Vietnamese. She is typical expat in Nam. Lives there but knows nothing of the people.
Filipe Pedro I live in Saigon and I doubt this. Since we come across many cultures, we experience many of them, we experienced other region’s culture through their people who lives here.
FYI: Vietnamese people appreciate respect. we remember the past, live for current and ahead to future. And remember : nothing is more precious than independence and freedom - that's Vietnamese. You're welcome!
@@HảiNguyễnVăn-j3v I watched this video as a Black Caribbean woman 4 years ago. Since I watched it, I knew that I had to visit Vietnam. In April I went to a tour in Southeast Asia, Vietnam was the third countries that I visited after Thailand, Laos. I spent one week in a tour with a great tour company visiting Vietnam from north to south. When arrived to the capital, Ho Chi Mingh, I stay another week alone. I swear, I didn't want to leave. I was sad when I was leaving. I cannot wait to go back to Vietnam. This week, I kept thinking about this lady I saw in the video that motivated me to go to Vietnam. To my surprise, the video pop up on my screen this morning, out of the blue. I was happy to watch the video again. I wonder if she is still in Vietnam. It as a pleasure to watch the video again, now that I can relate to what she is saying.
This was a great interview. I'm a former Expat & it's truly a Rites of Passage. What I loved most about living abroad is meeting free -minded souls. The conversation hits differently when you actually do it. Even returning to The States, you'll never be or think the same after "choosing" to leave The US & that's a good thing!!! Great hustle Sis! Awesome convo Bro!
Yes. Scooters are more dangerous than people seem to believe. I yell to people "put a helmet on!" At red lights if i see them riding one of these things without one.
Yeah, foreign teachers don't teach. Students don't really respect them so they can't tell students what to do, bla bla... But they have very good salary though. Students often make jokes about that. Like: Sáng lên trường, tối lên bar :)
The "unschooling" concept is very common in Denmark, and is considered one of the factors contributing to the high levels of happiness and confidence among Danish children. That she offered this to her children is just brilliant.
I love how Angge can expressed herseft freely and commented about Vietnam’s education without hesitation. And I agree with her, we have ridiculously hard exams system, choosing school for children is not based on that child’s interests but it’s all about his/her parents desire. Kids need to develop their imagination, creativity and most of all independence. I know some so-called adults about my age (20s-27s) still rely on thier parents with daily basis and can not decide anything in their life without parent’s guidances. Sad reality!
I went out to eat hu tieu the other day, sat next to a black girl. She was extremely pretty, taller than me (and I'm already tall for a Vietnamese girl), long brown hair in rows, wide brown eyes, casual sleeveless t-shirt and jean. Her skin was mesmerizing. A dark rich colour that seems to shine under the neon light, like gold strips dip in chocolate. I wanted to comment on it, give compliments on her beauty. But I was scared that would be misinterpreted as somewhat racist or sth, cause the initial compliments were about her skin and ethnicity. I was terified that it would somehow make her uneasy and leave a bad impression if I say the wrong thing. So I shut my mouth and settle with stealing a glance on her from time to time during the meal. I'm truly in shame for my cowardice :(
I wish you had spoken to her. I think she would appreciate it. My Vietnamese friends say they like my skin too. I like the Vietnamese skin color also. I think Vietnamese women are beautiful, especially your hair. It is so thick and black and shiny.
I'm.a white girl who had a black boyfriend. I was fascinated and mesmerized by his skin too. It just takes your breath away, I dunno, cause it's different from ours right? Even still, now we're friends, and I still love it.
I can relate. The first time I saw a true blue "white" foreigner (although she may have just been an albino.) She was so pale it was almost mesmerizing. I had to remind myself that it was a person I was looking at not an angel and that I should probably stop gawking. There's a major difference I think between admiration and respect and unbridled curiosity.It's okay to compliment us.This this would have been fine.
I'm vietnamese american, and i think people who are easy to offend and butthurt by "microaggression" twitter comments, WILL NOT SURVIVE IN VIETNAM. Vietnamese in Vietnam have a culture of being brutally honest a lot for certain things. If your fat and lazy, they'll tell you you're fat like a pig and lazy as a buffalo. If you're being a dumbass, they won't say it nicely. They'll be upfront about it. So even as a viet american, that took me off guard too and time to get used to, since in the usa, there's a culture of not "hurting" some ones feelings. Also, viets will ask you on the first meeting your age, your job and salary, and if you're married or not. And if you're 30 or older, they'll tell u to get married cause you're old now. These questions will come up all the time and these I'm still not used to, being from America lol.
You obviously haven't been to NY. If you think America is "sensitive", you've never been to Japan where almost everyone is very polite and well-mannered. I mean, being upfront is okay but don't complain if I punch you in your mouth after you said something bad about me.
Loved the video, love Vietnam. I miss it now 😢 I also felt that freedom even more than I do in Africa (home) and the ppl are so kind. Just love for the Vietnamese. ❤️
What African country are you from ? I heard an African country tried to kill a Vietnamese refugee family from a forum (the specific country is never mentioned ). How do Africans treat Asians ? I originally wanted to move or visit Uganda but other Asians (south Asians , south East Asians , and East Asians ) told me no and instead to go to Kenya instead

@Ed Ward The sad persona of someone with a backward mind who feels we as black people should continue to suffer for the cause. We are all now free to come and go as we wish to wherever we choose. We as fellow human beings should be supporting and empowering those who have decided to try something different and it has succeeded. Angee with no man by her side consciously researched and chose her path with her precious children beside her who experienced many firsts with delight. Instead of praising her you berate her. You are of no use to fellow black people.
She is out of her mind if she thinks an African American woman is free anywhere other than Africa. Some of you are smoking too much weed
@Ed Ward self-explanatory!
I'm black and I've been living in Vietnam for more than 4 years. Best decision of my life. Exposure to racism here is ZERO, at least for me.
Vietnamese people, if you don't know, you are the most beautiful people and I want to thank you, a million times, for making me feel so welcome in your country.

You’re always welcome in Vietnam a country where people put friends and relations above
@@phu0n9c4yj Thank you!
If you are still in Viet Nam can I correspond with you? I have visited saigon and loved it, I’m ready to make a move, but not sure how to find apartment, get work permit (teaching) etc.
She's absolutely right about local Vietnamese just being innocently curious about different skin colours and hair textures. And it is NOT just exclusive to black skin and hair. As I white male living in Saigon for a very long time, I cannot count the number of times young people have politely asked (or motioned) to touch the hair on my arms, my beard stubble, or examine my green eyes closely. I've never once felt it was racist, but instead endearingly affectionate and playful. In fact, we usually all end up united in cheerful laughter afterwards. A gentle human touch is the cornerstone of breaking down social barriers. In the West, we build trust and new friends with handshakes. Hand in hand is very intimate too, and rarely considered rude.
That's so called a privilege. Think about this, you see an asian in your country, Would you be curious about their appearance? Would you be so welcoming like they treat to you when you visit Asia? Could asian easily get a well paid teaching job in your country? No, for most of the south east asians, they don't even have a passport. How unfair the world treats asians!
@@jojoc.1171 Na that's bs maybe it's true in the USA but the USA are just a shit hole now.
@??7991¿¿ no Racism is put in place to cause division by those who rule. Once you understand that you will understand it all. Respect the differences and let people be.
I have lived in America for 2 years and im not gonna lie thay people here are kinda fake. They smile at you, they will talk to you but then if you are not there, they will talk shit about you. I find it very hard to find a TRUE friend here. But oh well, i'm going to college soon so hopefully i can find one there. I'm still trying to adapt to American culture. I just miss Vietnam so much. I had so much fun there. I really wanna come back
I laughed out loud at that part 'cause it is just too accurate we are just really curious most of the time, and find meeting foreigners no matter the race really amusing because by that way we can learn new things. I have to admit genreally most of the time schools would prefer to hire white ppl as teachers over black ones. However the highschool I go to is in the same area as the University of Languages and International Studies as well as National Uni and I see a lot of black teachers on my way to school everyday or during lunch breaks, like, a lot. The owners of the shops and restaurants in the surrounding area seem to be very used to seeing them too, that the teachers can sometimes get a discount if the owner is in good mood.
"...I want my kids to have a childhood that they don't have to unlearn."
Sheesh. Knot in my stomach on that one.
Don’t tell them about Santa Claus although seems innocent you’re instilling lying in them. My parents were pathological liars..made me very good at sniffing out bs.
This statement. EVERYTHING. I moved abroad alone with my then 1yr old 5yrs ago. My main reason why, right here.
George Duckson I wouldn’t either. We are in Thailand and I’ve homeschooled the entire time. Luckily we have some friends with cool kids so after they are out of school, the kids play. It’s tricky finding balance but not impossible

I lived in Vietnam for 4 months when I was working at one of the universities in Hanoi. By far the most rewarding experience, I've ever had. There was an ease of life that I appreciated. My co-workers and teachers ( who taught me Vietnamese) were amazing to me. Cannot wait to go back

She was so right about fact that Vietnamese are curious about a difference skin colors, it's not racism, just curious.
My girlfriend is Vietnamese and she was forced to moved back to vietnam after they found out she was dating a black person. Vietnamese are racist.
Vietnamese don't discriminate like as some other countries, whoever you are, you will be respected in our country.
This is how it is naturally Just curiosity
Racism is based on hatred

Love when people give more respect to Vietnam. Remember when I first studied abroad, people only know Vietnam as poor country, Vietnamese war, dangerous country,etc. It hurted me so bad. Vietnam is beautiful country with rich culture and friendly people.
Feel the same thing. Still there're a lot of bad reputations of our country out there but that ain't stop the goodness which is populating constantly. So proud to be Vietnamese.
Truee. Vietnam has so many greater things than just wars. Vietnamese are warriors of course, but we have more than that. Im hurt when some countries look down on Vietnam. I don't feel safe living in America. I'm scared of guns
Vietnam has developed through COVID, we live, we rise
@@linhle8294 sometimes, i even forget that Covid still exists :(((
The first impression of Japaneses about Vietnam when they talked to me is A country which drowned in long-term wars. Poor and not safe. But I know what, guess which country's doing so well, much better than some great, superior likes.
I have been in Vietnam for a long time, I see here they do not discriminate against people of color and do not discriminate against skin color. Here I am loved by everyone. Many people often look at me, not because they are discriminating but because they are curious. I find Vietnamese people quite friendly and hospitable
Vietnam is actually a home for everybody especially blacks yeah. I lived in Vietnam for a long time and it's pretty safe but sometimes the stereotype shit is crazy considering whites over blacks in terms of job opportunities yeah but anyway it's cool and safe in Vietnam 🇻🇳 cam on
Sometimes? I would say, "all the time".
Well I would say we ain't give a shit on any skin, unless the job policies were made by people who prefer their same color candidates lol.

I traveled through SouthEast Asia alone in 2001 and I was a naive Chinese American female and the kindness I experienced from the locals in Vietnam were truly amazing. When I got lost and asked a woman for directions, she insisted on driving me there. I didn’t speak the language but she kept pointing for me to follow her and we walked to her motorcycle. Another random woman noticed I was reading a guidebook and offered to take me on a tour of the area. People were so kind and expected nothing back in return.

This was an absolute wonderful watch. As an American born Vietnamese, this just warmed my heart. And many blessings and good fortunes to this beautiful black queen for having an open mind and open heart.
Excellent interview. I'm here in Vietnam now and she is absolutely correct. I just wish they had a retirement visa. I'm Black, from America and this is my favorite Asian country.
@ don't be fooled by how it may look to you, I'm a Vietnamese who's have been living in Viet Nam for 23 years. And colorism exists in VN much like every SEA countries. Some people might don't say it to your face but what they truly think of you especially if you have a darker skin tone is the opposite of "friendly". Sure, they may act nice in front of you, and that is called mannerism, and Vietnamese mannerism works differently than Americans. it is a good thing that you don't talk ill about your country but keep in mind that they aren't all facts, it can even be propaganda. I'm not here to generalize all Vietnamese will act like that toward dark skin people but there are a lot of individuals who are racist just like white people.

It really is not that hard, just take the leap... you will not regret it!
Kim Davis i strive to be like you! I’m currently serving as well but not sure if I want to make it a career. I’m ready to take the leap NOW bc I’m tired of the bs and move to Asia but I’m trying to figure out how....
You said you currently own property in 2 countries abroad. Does that include Vietnam?
I think the biggest stumbling block is language and culture. But once you can get past that, Asia is pretty safe.
and did you apply for new citizenship?

That’s the irony isn’t it? Coming from the land of the “free”, she found greater freedom in communist Vietnam.
*"communist Vietnam"*
@Silent Rage I lived in Vietnam in 2017 and it was amazing but he's quite right, Vietnam is still a communist country, there are no opposition parties and dissenting voices that run counter to the State are threatened or shut down. It's important to remember our privilege as foreigners in Vietnam and how unaware we are of the intricacies of daily life for Vietnamese which happens due to not knowing the language and the barrier this creates in understanding the nuances of Vietnamese culture, that being said, Vietnam is welcoming, the people are warm and I concur with most of what the Angee said as it mirrored my experience.
Crazy. But that means maybe it isn't what u think.
Real freedom is available here in America but one must work and contribute because nothing is free.
@@bwana3006 btw, ppl are contributing in these other countries, so i doubt contribution is the remedy when its being done in these countries. Its the freedom to live decent that's being praised and to be treated as human, rather than stock.
I remember when I was a child, I learned the song "This Earth is ours" by Truong Quan Luc and put it to music… This song is very popular with Vietnamese children. The most famous lyrics
“Black and white gold, Although different skin color
Dear friends, we are precious flowers
Sunny fragrance and rich color for exciting new life
Every flower color is precious and fragrant.”
"There so much emphasis on time in school but not quality of education"
She's not lying about this part, gotta agree
"glorified babysitting", this sums up Vietnamese education system
This is the type of woman that would excel anywhere she decided to live because of her amazing ability to adapt and to be positive.
She can excel anywhere except the US

But I also didn't expect everyone to love me either. I didn't mind at all folks wanting to find out more about me etc as she described.

Spent a year in South Korea and it was one of the best times in my life. Learned so much and had very little distraction from the media in America. She’s right about the curiosity as well with skin color, style, hair etc...
This woman’s attitude is open, honest, and easy going. What she says about the meaning of how words are used in terms of pitch and accent is a very common thing throughout different languages in several African and other countries of the world. Because language is art, the little details have the greatest meanings. I wish that the world prejudice towards Blacks becomes less of a stigma as for the upcoming generations of Black race.
when she said, "you have freedom out here" I felt that. This is exactly how I feel in South Korea. The freedom and safety I feel does not compare to America, at all. There are truly easier ways to live and when you travel you see that.
She have freedom for now !!!

There's a lot of downside with living in Vietnam, especially for its citizens. The fact that it has a highly negative immigration rate (many more people leaving than coming), should tell you that it's no heaven on earth. It's a peaceful, quickly developing country with a lot to offer, to be sure, but also very flawed. That's my honest opinion as someone who grew up there.
@@d.b.2215 every country has their flaws, not only in Vietnam. The highly immigration rate because they move to other countries to work, study... and send money back to Vietnam, I think it's not negative

If you do go there freedom you going to experience is amazing no restrictions and taxes and now harassment from anyone i been there 4 times its kinda like flash breath of air there.
I love her way of thinking and understanding of the differences of other cultures. Now that's the mindset most people need. To not just look at the negative of every little thing.
Being Korean-American, I had the blessing to know what life is like outside of America early in my life. Many Americans have no idea how insular US society it is. We claim to be a "diverse" nation that is accepting of all cultures and a melting pot, but any minority knows that you never feel truly accepted and deal with being racially profiled, stereotyped, and marginalized on a frequent basis. I am glad to see more and more African-Americans see that there are better living opportunities for them and not have to endure a situation where they feel stifled.
Truth. It many places it doesn't even feel like a melting pot of any kind -more like a bunch of different communities keeping to themselves and forming stereotypes of "the Other".
Thats because the idea of a successful melting pot does not exist, when you put people together who have different values they are bound to clash with each other. Most eastern asian countries are smart enough to realize this and put severe restrictions on who comes into their country.
@@Lost_Hwasal Thankfully, in Asia, unlike many Western countries they did not enslave millions of people only to claim later that they had no claim to the land and want to preserve racial homogeneity. Therefore their want to preserve their culture can be seen as cultural preservation just like Africa's can. Unfortunately the West decided to take Native land, use African people and work Chinese people and only now want to claim its their land and everyone should get out.
@@jeremym3892 I was going to respond but you put it so eloquently that I need not add to it. His comment was definitely not coming from a good place.
I agree. America is mostly hype on steroids. It’s overrated. Fake news.
I’m telling you, her story is *AMAZING* , probably one of the best video I’ve ever got recommended. I’m not American so obviously I can’t understand the life there, I’m not enjoy this because she’s talking good things about my country, but just … I love this video, her story is amazing. Just one of the moments I’m appreciating my English skill so I can finish the whole video ❤️
i want Vietnamese people to hear what Angeee is saying. Translate, please!
Life in America is a hell scape if you are especially black american, latino and native american. She made the right decision leaving a place that dehumanises her for existing
hey, I'm Cham people( Cham Vietnamese), I'm a minority and I really love this video, thank you for making this video, thanks Angee for sharing your genuine experiences living here. love you guys.
You're gorgeous

@@TheConscienceOne nice ppl..i remember my tour guide at angkor wat told me they were so poor due to american bombing(they wanted to test their bombing accuracy to use on next door neighbor vietnam) in 60s which killed 25 % of their population, he had to eat grass to survive...he 's 5 foot tall and 100 pounds, i believe it.
People leave their home countries everyday to start anew in another country. It's not new and why would African Americans be any different. America is not the only place to find happiness. I think the more you travel the more you become a well rounded human being.
T j i mean if you watch alot of these videos, you see the significance of Black people, not just those in America. She even touched on it in here a little and its better seen in other videos. When a latino or just a Mexican person travel to outside countries outside south America, People dont associate them with Cartels. Now with black people, demonized worldwide. There's some European countries and middle east countries, who will harass and harm you just because where and how you look. So there's that little deep seated "fear" like is it going to be better or worse. Plus the narrative that it takes thousands of dollars to travel put alot of African americans off.(there was literally a study on this). I do agree though Traveling makes you more well rounded, can see what true proverty is, and can change your perspective for the best. Yet thats the difference, but shouldn't deter people though because........its more dangerous in the states if looking at statistics 🤣.
Dunno why youtube suggested me to watch this vid. I've never heard of your channel, nor Angee. But I watched all 44 minutes and 48 seconds and I gotta say, her Life Advice at the end is exactly what I needed to hear. So thank you.
I love how the Americans who likely never left the U.S try to convince Vietnamese people we don't have freedom. Well, we are covid-free and no one is murdered by cops. That sounds like freedome to me.
Well, actually... there are quite some murder cases by the cops usually when the suspect is in custody. I do love Vietnam and my people for all the good things, many of which are mentioned in this video
How do the police there handle suspects that resist arrest, evade arrest and assaults the officers?
James Buchanan by convicing and use broom to fight with those assault them
@@HoangViet598 here in america, cops can't pull over, arrest or even question a black guy without being called a racist. If the cop tries to arrest the black guy and the black guy doesnt want to be arrested, he can run away and even fight back and the cop isnt supposed to do anything back just because he is black.
@@jamesbuchanan6256 Bro you're acting like cops give a damn if they're called racist. Cops in America ARE racist af and murder people in cold blood all the time for "resisting." Open your eyes.
Don't blame her for leaving Hawaii. Hawaii is for the rich & the people who serve them. Impoverished wages & extremely expensive.
I agree with you Anthony, island life just about anywhere is a struggle because of the lack of resources and the high cost associated with having to import everything. And since they lack industrial resources, the only source of income for many is the tourist trade, or as you mentioned, working for low wages from the wealthy. All too often, many people make rude comments about island people that are just full of ignorance and rudeness.
It’s my home also....I left 3 years ago but I still LOVE it!....I moved to Belize and then Mexico, which I LOOOOOOVE!!!!
@@saharastorm179 is the cartel violence scary in MX. The news in the states makes it look mad dangerous out there.
most people aren't aware of cost that you have as an islander that mainlanders don't have, most people are not aware of how expensive groceries (beside produce) are there because most of it has to be imported.
Face it you have to have some type of following to make it in America you need people to be in your pyramid scheme if you really want to live the good life but other than that your going to be working your ass off paying debt building credit just to have nice things I wanted to go to tradeschool cant do it because I have bad credit and cant get a loan for 9k to pay for it... I study alot on how to be a entrepreneur and it's just too much information out there to try and take the risk in trying to do business.

What a great pity that the parents of all the communists in Vietnam failed to teach their communist children to live with love and respect towards other people who do not believe in or who oppose communism. The communists in Vietnam have been disrespectful and hateful towards all those who refuse to embrace communist dictatorship in Vietnam. Do you judge these disrespectful and hateful communists?
In fact, foreigners are completely wrong when thinking that Vietnam really welcomes you, perhaps you have not surfed social networks for articles related to Vietnamese politics. My country has the right to curse the US and capitalist countries in the worst way possible, that's what the Vietnamese government wants, if someone defends Americans or capitalist countries there will be countless virtual accounts personally attack that person
Action speaks loudest.
yeah agree. that's why our people have gone to dislike the white tourists recently , I guess that should speak volume because of their well-known entitlement.
100% agree with having visited Vietnam several times. I've never taken their comments as racist EVEN IF the same comments were said in the US, they would be. Hard to explain, but I truly believe what she says having lived it myself.

Angee is an amazing person and I love this. I am a white guy from New York who has been living in Vietnam since 1995 but who has been here part of each year since 1988. I met a Vietnamese woman in New York in 1976 and were married in 1977... still married. If I could learn Vietnamese then so can Angee so please take the step of confidence that you can learn and then go ahead and learn it. The Vietnamese love word play and Angee can have a ton of fun with some simple spoonerisms (syllable reversal like "hu ai yow = how are you".) People will love that! On my first trip in 1988 I can say it was so different than now. There were still Amerasians all over. America took them in a few years later, Anyway, I remember meeting a group of about 15 black Amerasians hanging out on Le Loi Street (Saigon) and my wife and I took them to the Bach Dang Ice Cream shop on Le Loi Street and had one of the most memorable evenings in my life. Today that would cost a bit of money but back then it was nothing. One interesting thing about Vietnam is that there are people of many ethnic backgrounds and some with very dark skin. Generally speaking people prefer light skin as Angee said but regardless... I don't think that anyone could comprehend the notion of separating people on a public bus according to skin color as was done in parts of American when I was growing up in the 1950s. And Angee is right about being able to do anything with exception political stuff. But I can say for the things I like to do I have never had any issue.

You know that is not true. Don't say ridiculous things that are to get attention, but are false.
I have to say... Daaamn, that woman gets it. I am Vietnamese and after hearing Angie's story and the way she bravely took a leap into unknown, moved her family and kids to totally different environment and country. That takes guts. In addition, the way Angie perceives Vietnamese culture and Vietnamese people. It just astonishes me. I have only 1 thing to say and that is - RESPECT!
This lady has such a wonderful outlook on life. Very articulate. Instead of thinking everyone is against you, she embraced the situation and succeeded her life in Saigon.
Respect for her. She took the leap to explore life outside of her comfort zone and found something better.
with a history of invasion, oppression, and exploitation by enemies. We Vietnamese know what freedom is and we value it

Not Korean, they not friendly at all with black people but also with other countries, that they think not developed as their country. Southeast Asia as an example.

I love how Anggie described the Vietnamese people’s attitude toward black people. Its purely child-like curiosity, nothing like racism or discrimination.
shes lying. Vietnamese people werent born yesterday. There plenty of tourists and African immigrants in Vietnam. This lady cant even speak Vietnamese. She is typical expat in Nam. Lives there but knows nothing of the people.

@@HảiNguyễnVăn-j3v I watched this video as a Black Caribbean woman 4 years ago. Since I watched it, I knew that I had to visit Vietnam. In April I went to a tour in Southeast Asia, Vietnam was the third countries that I visited after Thailand, Laos. I spent one week in a tour with a great tour company visiting Vietnam from north to south. When arrived to the capital, Ho Chi Mingh, I stay another week alone. I swear, I didn't want to leave. I was sad when I was leaving. I cannot wait to go back to Vietnam. This week, I kept thinking about this lady I saw in the video that motivated me to go to Vietnam. To my surprise, the video pop up on my screen this morning, out of the blue. I was happy to watch the video again. I wonder if she is still in Vietnam. It as a pleasure to watch the video again, now that I can relate to what she is saying.
This was a great interview. I'm a former Expat & it's truly a Rites of Passage. What I loved most about living abroad is meeting free -minded souls. The conversation hits differently when you actually do it. Even returning to The States, you'll never be or think the same after "choosing" to leave The US

She has a really good analogy of Vietnam’s educational system.
How about the three stripes educational system? 😄
Yeah, foreign teachers don't teach. Students don't really respect them so they can't tell students what to do, bla bla... But they have very good salary though. Students often make jokes about that. Like: Sáng lên trường, tối lên bar :)

The "unschooling" concept is very common in Denmark, and is considered one of the factors contributing to the high levels of happiness and confidence among Danish children. That she offered this to her children is just brilliant.
Timestamp?
I love how Angge can expressed herseft freely and commented about Vietnam’s education without hesitation. And I agree with her, we have ridiculously hard exams system, choosing school for children is not based on that child’s interests but it’s all about his/her parents desire. Kids need to develop their imagination, creativity and most of all independence. I know some so-called adults about my age (20s-27s) still rely on thier parents with daily basis and can not decide anything in their life without parent’s guidances. Sad reality!
I went out to eat hu tieu the other day, sat next to a black girl. She was extremely pretty, taller than me (and I'm already tall for a Vietnamese girl), long brown hair in rows, wide brown eyes, casual sleeveless t-shirt and jean. Her skin was mesmerizing. A dark rich colour that seems to shine under the neon light, like gold strips dip in chocolate. I wanted to comment on it, give compliments on her beauty. But I was scared that would be misinterpreted as somewhat racist or sth, cause the initial compliments were about her skin and ethnicity. I was terified that it would somehow make her uneasy and leave a bad impression if I say the wrong thing. So I shut my mouth and settle with stealing a glance on her from time to time during the meal. I'm truly in shame for my cowardice :(
I wish you had spoken to her. I think she would appreciate it. My Vietnamese friends
say they like my skin too. I like the Vietnamese skin color also. I think Vietnamese women are beautiful, especially your hair. It is so thick and black and shiny.
Next time you see someone like her that you believe is beautiful...tell her...we appreciate compliments.
I'm.a white girl who had a black boyfriend. I was fascinated and mesmerized by his skin too. It just takes your breath away, I dunno, cause it's different from ours right? Even still, now we're friends, and I still love it.
Awww this was SO beautiful. You're an amazing writer and as I'm sure, an equally amazing and beautiful person.
I can relate. The first time I saw a true blue "white" foreigner (although she may have just been an albino.) She was so pale it was almost mesmerizing. I had to remind myself that it was a person I was looking at not an angel and that I should probably stop gawking. There's a major difference I think between admiration and respect and unbridled curiosity.It's okay to compliment us.This this would have been fine.
"Ride a motorbike like you are in a school of fish and you be ok"... wise advice.

This was a beautiful conversation watched the whole thing! She's really inspiring.
I'm vietnamese american, and i think people who are easy to offend and butthurt by "microaggression" twitter comments, WILL NOT SURVIVE IN VIETNAM. Vietnamese in Vietnam have a culture of being brutally honest a lot for certain things. If your fat and lazy, they'll tell you you're fat like a pig and lazy as a buffalo. If you're being a dumbass, they won't say it nicely. They'll be upfront about it.
So even as a viet american, that took me off guard too and time to get used to, since in the usa, there's a culture of not "hurting" some ones feelings. Also, viets will ask you on the first meeting your age, your job and salary, and if you're married or not. And if you're 30 or older, they'll tell u to get married cause you're old now. These questions will come up all the time and these I'm still not used to, being from America lol.
You obviously haven't been to NY. If you think America is "sensitive", you've never been to Japan where almost everyone is very polite and well-mannered. I mean, being upfront is okay but don't complain if I punch you in your mouth after you said something bad about me.
