That probably annoys Oscar a lot.

Yes, I personally like True Mud and Mad (Mad) Men. It's amazing how they can take really serious adult shows and entertain children even if they don't get the grown-up references.

Yay! Nguyens for the win! I'm am also a Nguyen in the Midwest. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Yes, I wonder what Native Americans think of The Absolute True Story of a Part Time Indian. The portrayal of reservation life was really depressing. But it written by a Native American so it is probably a realistic account (I mean, the title said it's absolutely true). Maybe it's just because there are not a lot of popular books so you only get one view. It's like me writing about the Asian American experience even though I'm Vietnamese and Japanese Americans probably had far different experiences.

I agree with the commenter above. I was born in Vietnam but live in the states. I went back with a group of people, some were white and one was an American vet. They love veterans and do not hold anything against the Americans. Even though Americans did cause the Massacre at My Lai, the people that reported it were other white soldiers and they totally love Hugh Thompson and Lawrence Colburn. The people know the difference between the government and the people. But since it is a Communist country, the a Remnants Museum and other places are pretty one sided. I think it’s still good in that it is true what happened just that it only shows one side. There are a lot of backpacking places where travelers stay and a lot of people speak English so he will be okay. I also recommend getting out of the city and seeing the scenic places in VN too.
