RE: Blogger Pham Doan Trang Receives Award For Work to Improve Journalistic Freedom
One of the reasons I'm not in Vietnam was because I wanted to eventually expose government corruption. While in Vietnam, people would tell me about the corruption. So, I've heard that some journalists have been imprisoned in Vietnam. So, I may not want to end up in jail. But then again, I may consider returning to Vietnam someday. Other than America, Vietnam has become my second favorite country, like a second home.
Oh. Are you a Vietnamese original? Or is it partly Vietnamese?
I know you have lived in Vietnam for a long time, I thought you just came to work.
No. I was born in 1985 in Oregon, USA. My ancestors are from Europe. So, Oregon is a state above California. So, I taught English in Vietnam from November of 2012 to November of 2017. So, for five years, I taught English, made friends with Vietnamese, experienced Tet each year, and learned a lot. Tôi thích cà phê sữa nóng và cơm gà.
