“I didn’t think I was going to be a YouTube newscaster at the age of 67. But these days you will often see me at my daughter’s house, holding my grandchild while translating articles from Politico or The Atlantic into Vietnamese that I then broadcast on a news channel on YouTube...This is not how I imagined spending my retirement.”

For our brunch today. Only 1 is left. I gobbled up 2 of them, pretty quickly. It's one of Dad's fave dishes & every time I make & eat it now, it reminds me of when we ate them together. I miss mealtimes with my Dad a lot.
The tomb of #Vietnamese emperor Khải Định. He is/was much mocked locally as a French colonial lacky in the early 20th century. A committed francophile, even his tomb is run through with a range French symbolic elements. But due to its relative recency and positioning, it is far better preserved than most of the imperial tombs around Huế and receives many visitors. #Vietnam#Travel
So far, 1,020 #Vietnamese citizens have been brought home on 9 flights from northern #ShanState of Myanmar, with entire cost of repatriation covered by the government.
Please enjoy this #music playlist - filled with #Vietnamese#RockNRoll songs from 1968-1974. There was always a huge music scene in #Saigon & wartime didn't stop the musicians. More songs were inspired from the horrors of war. Bands kept performing wherever they could. My big Auntie told me about music jams in tunnels by resistance musicians too.
Music kept people going, when bombs kept falling. Music helped people survive war horrors.
Today, I used some salmon that was gifted to me by a native friend/brother from another mother & made #traditional#Vietnamese spicy #DriedFish snack. It's called #KhoCaLoc in Vietnamese. Long
Using less water & using a #drone to fertilize are new techniques that Van is trying & #Vietnam hopes will help solve a #paradox at the heart of #GrowingRice : The finicky crop isn’t just vulnerable to #ClimateChange but also contributes uniquely to it.
Vietnam is the world's 3rd largest #rice exporter, & the staple importance to #Vietnamese culture is palpable in the #Mekong Delta.
"Nguyen, who is an executive producer, and the creative team hope the series will force viewers to center the Vietnamese perspective of the conflict while rethinking fundamental American myths, including about how the country still wields its geopolitical power in a fractured world today. 'Everything that the United States was doing in 1975 are things that are still happening now,' Nguyen says."
"Last Saturday, I was at a community gathering of around 30 Vietnamese immigrants, all in their 50s and 60s, in Oakland, California, when I asked if anyone knew anything about AI or artificial intelligence.
None of them had ever heard of it...And in this room full of elders from my community, the Vietnamese community, no one knew about it, which meant no one knew to look for it."
This family was divided before they became refugees. One bro served loyally for resistance army, one bro was a reluctant South VN government army reservist & other bro was a proud South VN airforce pilot. One daughter was left behind.
"The Hollywood Reporter spoke with eight of The Sympathizer’s Vietnamese cast members in a group conversation below that revealed that, although they all share the same ethnicity, they are diverse in age, nationality and experience, together forming a living account of the modern Vietnamese diaspora — what it has been through, and what it is like now."
"We processed our huge clams harvest from our weekend village clam digging. We have extra clam meat for you. Froze them & I can drop off some freezer bags filled with them. I'll be in your area tonight, so let me know when you'll be around!"
My Indigenous friends are very kind, generous & thoughtful 💗 They bring my family seafood, year round.
Tien is head of policy & legal affairs at the #Vietnam General Confederation of Labor and director of the Institute for #Workers & Trade #Unions, the group said.
In the latest cause for concern, police in #Hanoi have arrested a #reformist labor ministry official, Nguyen Van Binh, 51, and charged him with disclosure of state secrets. Mr. Binh had advocated #LaborReform as director general of the legal department at the ministry, especially ratification of International Labor Organization Convention 87, which would guarantee #Vietnamese#workers the right to form independent trade #unions.
