zo they have a bond that is really hard to get rid of

Oh they watch CCTV and all that

some of my vietnamese friends are pro-government, but that isn't the same as communism so <:KEK:795742276549607456>

relatives killed by Maoists in china for trying to escape, and relatives killed by communists in vietnam for publicly decrying the chinese communists

One of my coworkers had a real bad time in Vietnam. Like, would break down crying if we asked about her experience type bad.

i tried to figure out this kids last name in 6th grade and i havent figured it out till now- thanks

<:KEK:795742276549607456> nah it's fine

well, to be fair, that's how they pronounce it in the SOUTH. ie. Saigon. Hanoi, ie. the government, pronounce it differently, because of dialects and accents

yes

ouuu

it depends on where you come from. the dialects are different

I honestly want to go to vietnam. Hopefully my parents arent stingy going places outside of China

*zap would be a northern pronounciation
soft d "dap" would be a southern pronounciation

go to HK and apply for asylum to australia 🙂 plenty of us here fighting for recognition of hong kong independence, lol

I think they forgive us for pronouncing it wrong, my spanish coworker could not pronounce "Derek" to save her life.

I was looking at doing a year at uni in Vietnam or South Korea

it isn't XD no woke shit (at least when i left there)

but.... most rich vietnamese families who fund their own education, send their kids to australia, usa, canada, germany, etc.
