I don't know what to think anymore: The American dream vs preservation of Vietnamese virtues -- bad acts in government, bad acts in the law, bad acts by Vietnamese on FB and everywhere
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/lawyer-michael-avenatti-arrested-faces-wire-fraud-and-bank-fraud-charges/ar-BBVdojw?ocid=iehp
Is this federal cleanup of bad acts or entrapment of outspoken advocates?

differences between zealous settlement negotiation of high-profiled claims against corporate giants versus outright extortion for quick money from big pockets.

In defense of Brigitte Bardot...sued for racist language regarding inhabitants of Reunion
http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/celebrity/brigitte-bardot-faces-lawsuit-over-racist-comments-about-french-island/ar-BBV1Dfa?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=iehp
How is Bardot's choice of words today any worse than "Mission Civilisatrice" of France to refer to Vietnam before 1945?
True, in black and white pictures of early 20th century's Vietnam during French colonization, only mandarin-ministers and the Emperor had shoes to wear. Court musicians, officials, guards and soldiers went barefoot...Could someone say that was "primitive"?
The island of Reunion spoken of by Bardot plus Madagascar were places where France sent the dissident emperors of Vietnam into exile (called Annam back then, well, it wasn't that long ago!!!)

the art of childhood
Vietnamese girls of the 1970s might not recognize this as my vision of Trung Vuong High School, or any all-girl boarding school or secondary school:
it's like a garden of squashes, pumpkins, and eggplants...

another gorgeous cottage
I would move to St. Louis MO for this (assuming other factors are favorable).

kindness from strangers
yes, I have had people giving me a quarter, a dollar because I don't have change. The world is blessed with kindness.

this lovely house in Mississipi

At the beginning of my law teaching career (2001), I was recruited by the law school in Mississippi at the recruitment conference of the Association of the American Law Schools.
A Vietnamese woman teaching law in Mississippi...hmmm (I had never thought of it).
If the same opportunity occurred again, I would take it simply to own this beautiful home in Mississippi, for only $79,500. GORGEOUS:
