Unfortunately I don't live in the US, thus I can't help you in completing this survey. I hope someone else does.

I don't know if I qualify for what you're looking for... but here goes.
______________________________________________
1. Where were you born and raised? I was born in a small rural town in the outskirts of Saigon, now known as Ho Chi Minh City.

2. What was the family situation? Both my parents were incarcerated in "re-education camps", which were torture camp and death camp to many, for a short part of my childhood so everything was really hard.

3. WHat educational and work opportunities were available versus those in
the US? Going to school and having work isn't a problem. There's all sorts of jobs but the pay is very low, sometimes very demeaning, unless one knows who to bribe and has the finances to bribe.

4. WHat are some similarities and differences in the cultures? The US and Vietnam that I remember are worlds apart. Of course, you'd have to keep in mind that everything is usually exaggerated in a child's eyes. Lets see, the schooling system in Vietnam has more in common with the French schooling system. We go to school on Saturdays and wear uniforms. We used to bike everywhere, but now mopeds are more widely used. Only the well-off can afford cars. There's really too many things different in the two culture and there's no way I can name them all. Unfortunately, I can't think of very many similarities either.

5. When did you relocate to the US an why? Did all of your family relocate? My family immigated to America when I was 9 years old. Why? The answer is probably overused and overrated, but bare with me. We moved for opportunities. It's a very generalized answer, but it's the best I can come up with right now.

6. What are your work experiences? (how are you treated by mgmt, other
associates, are there barriers with people, education, day to day life) I'd have a to pass this question. But one thing is for sure, there is bribery everywhere.

7. What is your overall opinion of your experiences living in the US versus
your native country? I can't imagine myself living in my native country and prosper. There are so many restrictions by tradition, culture and politics for me to be who I am. In Vietnam, being beaten by your husband is a-okay. In Vietnam, many women are still subjected to the provincial belief that they belong in the kitchen and with the babies while men can whore around or drink themselves to bed. Maybe things have changed since I was 9, but the last time I was there—about two years ago, I still see too many of such injustices.

8. WHat are your favorite foods, leisure activities, shopping, music, ect.
in the US? I love Italian. Take me out for Italian and I'm your friend for life. I love reading and net surfing. I actually prefer shopping online than going to the mall. Music wise, my newly found love is Godsmack. I used worship David Bowie.

9. What do you like least and most about working in the US?
There's no comparision between coporate culture in the US with that in Vietnam. In other words, the US has been very good to me so far.
