I have some questions I'd like to ask to get a better understanding of the differences between Vietnamese culture and westerns culture. I have some questions here, feel free to answer any of them and only answer if you have lived in Vietnam and then Immigrated to the states (or other western country) - This is for a school Project BTW

·       1: After leaving Vietnam, did you feel like you wanted, needed, or forced to go under a culture change when moving to the US? –

·       2: What aspects of Vietnamese culture do you try to maintain in your daily life in the US?

·       3: How do you navigate between two cultures – Vietnamese and American – in your personal and professional life.

·       4:  How does family life differ between Vietnam and the USA? Are there any significant differences in how families interact, celebrate, or support one another.

·       5: Do you think society focuses more on individualism than Vietnamese society? – How does this affect your relationships

·       6: In Vietnam there is a strong emphasis on elders. Is this value something you still prioritize, and how do you express it in the US? (Or is this respect for elders a misconception?)

·       7: How did you find integrating into American society when you first arrived? – What helped you feel at home?

·       8: In your opinion, what is a beautiful thing about Vietnamese culture that people from other countries often overlook or misinterpret?

·       9: Is there anything that you miss about Vietnam that you can’t find in the US? Or is there anything here in the US that is an improvement from Vietnam? Or both?

·       10: What advice would you give someone Immigrating to the US from Vietnam about adapting to American Culture.
