What do I look forward to everyday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Enough food and warm clean clothing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Coffee<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Talking and joking around with my friends from the Old World<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That is the secret to longevity, long-term health and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The reason why is this …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    New World thinking is so ego and ‘only me’ driven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Talking and socializing with people from the Old World allows you to think in other views that rest with each other since 10,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The North American views, needs and wants need to be looked at from the Old World angle to work alongside at the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Old World came first and the New World is asking for access, attention, nostalgia and a place to rest from the New World trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    New World has plenty of agriculture, lumber and meat to trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But the New World needs attention first because they are the last tribe to exit and want to cycle ???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I am born in Canada. I find life difficult here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sometimes I want to go back to Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Go to Vietnam and do what? I am not sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Life in Vietnam is hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are at least 3 perspectives in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Work labour jobs and get criticized why you are not studying and researching at least in a Vietnamese\/Asian university to keep face.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Work an intelligent teaching job in Vietnam and get ‘shaken’ by foreigner’s expertise teaching alongside you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Vietnamese next-door asks you why you are not in America trying to live the ‘American Dream’ they all hear about since 1931?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
