100+ Bridges Connecting The Hearts

More than 100 bridges have been built by a group of Viet Kieu (Vietnamese people living oversea) to serve the poor people living in rural areas of Vietnam.  Since 2004, this group has been consistently planning and building bridges for many villages and regions without costing the residents a single penny.

Our move so far...

I'm sitting here at 9pm on the Sunday, ready to go to bed. I have a raging headache. I think it's because there's so much to remember and my head is busting from its seams. Saturday morning, as per arrangement (SHOCK!), the removal van arrived. It was a grizzled old man and his young black sidekick. What an odd pair.

10 Do's and Dont's in Tet

For many of us younger generations, Tet always had been something very important to our families, to our culture and to our people.  However, we often don’t understand certain things that the older folks in the family usually say and do during these 3 important days of the Lunar New Year.  Just like many of the young Vietnamese living oversea, I have been through the age of wondering and struggling to find out the real stories and reasons behind each activity and behavior that the...
