  oh, after talking about sour mangos & sugary fish sauce, i remember this:
  Vietnamese people like to eat virtually every type of fruit with chili salt! Why? Why?
  Not just sour stuff like green mangos, star fruits and pineapples, but also watermelons, grapefruits, guavas, waterapples, etc.
  In Australia, I’ve even seen Vietnamese groceries with bowls of chili salt next to their piles of nectarines and Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples.

  Oh, and while I’m at it, here’s another thought for a future post: Vietnamese people LOVE fruits! Gosh I miss the place!

  1. You absolutely MUST have a career in the medical field or you own a nail salon, or run one illeaglly out of your home when you get older or your parents will call you a failure.
  2. You are amazing at calculus.
  3. you probably drive a honda, and it’s always really clean on the inside.
  4. your parents refuse to yell at you in english even if they speak it well.
  5. Your mom’s name is something confusing to white people in viet so she goes by ‘Tammy’ or ‘Sue’.
  6. people ALWAYS ask you if you are from china.
  7. If you are a male, you have probably worn a plain white wife beater with dark jeans out in public.
  8. If you are a female you have probably worn some sort of hello kitty apparel and or dark skinny jeans to make you appear taller.
  9. White people always make jokes or refrences about you reguarding Rice. and sometimes soy sauce.
  10. every achievement the children in the family make gets framed and hung around the house. this even includes a xeroxed copy of your doctorate degree, which hangs nicely next to your kindergarten diploma.
  11. all of the walls in your house are white.
  12. you must take your shoes off before stepping any farther than 2 steps into the house. And there is always a pile of shoes laying around the door. When your white friends come over they don’t knwo to take their shoes off , your parents stare at them until they do so.

  You love it when non-Vietnamese people learn to say something in Vietnamese

• 16 HalfViet // Nov 10, 2008 at 5:54 pm

  If you are not married, you just “know” that your parents are trying to hook you up with a good Vietnamese guy/girl by “networking” with other Vietnamese parents.

  You don’t like: very sweet American cake, pizza with thick crusts, Uncle Ben’s rice, pre-cooked shrimp (defrosted).
