Is it weird that she moved to her home country after getting a U. S. passport?

[Anonymous]

I'm Vietnamese-American; my family moved to America to start new lives away from the communist government of Vietnam. My uncle, on a trip to VN, met his now-wife. She moved over here with him, opened a business, got a US passport, and the two of them are now making a lot of money. She's decided to take their 2 kids back to VN to live, because in her own words, "She likes living in VN more than in America." Even though she would be dirt-poor if it weren't for the opportunity she was afforded here in America. She's been in VN for 6 months now, and doesn't plan on going back to the States. Millions of people around the world would love the chance to move to America.

I don't think Vietnam is on anyone's list of "top countries in the world to live in," but America surely is.

No. America is a shit place to live and Vietnam is actually on a lot of luxury resorts.

She's made the sensible decision that the income she's making from the US will get her a better lifestyle in Vietnam.

At the end of the day, it's thanks to the U. S. that she even has the income to live in Vietnam to begin with. And I disagree with what you say about America being a shit place, but well, you're European. And a lot of Europeans don't seem to like America (been to Europe thrice, including the UK once), so I don't think I can't persuade you otherwise.

I know people from Cambodia and Thailand that did very similar. One restaurant and sold it back to Phnom Penh. Thai family did cars…sold…doing cars near Bangkok 🤷🏻‍♂️

Priyanka went back to India after living in Canada for years because her parents wanted to protect her from racist classmates who bullied her. When she married Jonas, she returned to North America.

I was in Nam last year. You know, there's lots of things you expect in war... Carnage, the sleepless nights... But what they don't prepare you for is the incessant use of "Fortunate Son." I'd hear that song any time I was in a helicopter. Or taking a swift boat deep into the jungle, that song again.

My pen¡s would even play "Fortunate Son" while I was visiting a whorehouse.

It's hard to keep go of where you grew up, opportunities or not. She did the right thing. Got her money, went home. Can't hold it against her.
