The Asian Diaspora

A community for Asian people around the world to share their cultures, news, life stories.
Rule 1: Follow all instance rules of piefed.social (where this community is hosted)
Rule 2: No bigotry, No xenophobia. It's okay to be against governments. It's not okay to be against people, it's not okay to make harmful generalizations against people based on their race/ethnicity.
Rule 3: Be on topic. Should be related to Asians or Asian culture in someway. Although this community is made for the Asian Diaspora, non-Asians are welcome and encouraged to ask questions; a disclaimer about this fact must go along with your post/comment
Rule 4: No fascists, No tankies, No authoritarians, or similar craziness.
Rule 5: Just be nice. It's simple.

Hello, nice to meet you all. I am Vietnamese, born and raised in Canada. It is nice to meet with other folks and share. There is a struggle for us to retain our culture and language and I feel a deep calling to try to pass it down, whatever I can. I feel really lucky to have grown in a household that spoke only Vietnamese so I am fluent. I know my other friends struggle a lot with their language and culture.
So I've started to teach Vietnamese at my local temple (mostly for the benefit of my daughter). And I will do whatever I can to grow our roots here in Canada.
I hope this community grows and we can all share in our journey together.
Chào bạn!
Wow, thật tuyệt khi được gặp một người "thế hệ thứ hai Việt Nam" và có thể nói tiếng Việt!
Gặp lại sau nhé, tôi chắc chắn chúng ta sẽ có nhiều điều để nói chuyện!
I am using my other account because for some reason I can't see this comment on my main one. So you'll see me use both frequently :)
Dạ chào bạn! Mình cũng thấy rất là vui khi gặp được một người Việt Nam ở đây. Mặc dù mình biết rằng cái cộng đồng này là dành cho tất cả mọi người châu Á ở phương Tây... nhưng mình gặp được người Việt Nam thì vui thật. Hy vọng chúng mình có thể làm bạn và chia sẻ những niềm buồn vui nhé.
Ớ bên Canada mà muốn giữ góc cũa mình thì rất là khó. Mình thấy không có cái dì mà qúy hơn cái góc cũa mình. Như vạy, thì mình phải tìm cách nào để bảo vệ cái góc cũa mình.
Okay, thanks and nice to meet you :)
