Anywhere-Everywhere

     If I could go anywhere I have never been before I would go to Vietnam. Not many people know and very few can tell I am part Vietnamese. I would like to learn my heritage. How and what they do to celebrate the different holidays. There are also certain illnesses that  Asians are more pron to catching. Since my mother never knew her biological father we do not know much about his side of the family. I would like to go there even just for the summer or a school semester to trace my grandfathers history. To learn all I can learn about the culture and the many legends they are known for. I am also interested in learning their language for its very different from English. The way they live is very different from the way we do also. Were we buy groceries on a average of every two weeks they shop every day. They do not have refrigerates and freezers as we do they have whats known as ice boxes. There are many differences between our ways of living and culture. Asians are all about honor they do not believe in giving up. When one falls in battle they feel remorse for there lost soldiers but they think of it as karma. When ever they feel as if they have bought shame on their selfs and family they will commit an honorable suicide. An honorable suicide is when they kneel on their knees and stab their self and a comrade cuts their heads off to end suffering. So it would be a honor and privilege to be able to spend some time in Vietnam.
