Your first cousin’s grandparents on his father’s side are shit. When your aunt told them that she was pregnant with their son’s baby, his grandmother explicitly said they would not provide any support, including money to take care of the baby and a place to live, she should have an abortion immediately and to give […]
You might disagree with my opinion on abortion. It seems to be the minority opinion based on the beliefs of my family and friends and those on TV. I’ve listened to most, if not all, of their arguments to find a weakness in my thought process but still can’t justify it under normal circumstances. Among […]
Here’s what our Vice President, Kamala Harris, recently said to CNN’s Dana Bush in an exclusive one-on-one interview about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and its impact on parents of sons. “Abortion is the right that a woman should have to make decisions about her own body. And when we think […]
Thank you, God. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to abortion on January 22, 1973, 49 years ago. Honestly, I was indifferent about abortion before your conception and thought, as a result, women should have the optionality because they’re affected physically. My opinion changed once you came into […]
Vietnamese motherfuckers like him, Le Minh Vuong, a police officer (#283-658) in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 7, are another reason that keeps me from buying property in Vietnam. I don’t personally know Ryan, the guy who complained about Le Minh Vuong, an unaccompanied police officer, invading his EcoGreen apartment in Saigon at 1AM on […]
Another reason why not to buy an apartment in Vietnam are officetels, apartments legally regulated for commercial purposes in seemingly residential buildings. Typically, in America and many other parts of the world – developed and developing, there’s a clear divide between residential and commercial spaces in mixed-use properties. Let’s look at Trump Tower in Manhattan, […]
Previously written but forgot to post. Sometime before the COVID-19 crisis began, your mother and I had considered buying an apartment in Vietnam, which government regulations aside, is equivalent to buying a condominium in America. We visited many properties in and around Saigon. I thought making a reasonable effort was important. Your mother and I […]
A lot of bad shit happens in Vietnam every day. Foreigners, regardless of whether they are in-country or not, are none-the-wiser because much of it goes uncovered by the media and unspoken by locals. Media aside, locals either don’t bat an eye since that’s what they know of as normal or keep their mouth shut […]
My good friend and I have tried to talk once every two weeks for the last couple of years. The intent was to use that time to brainstorm and pursue business ideas. While we’ve thought of several ones, none have stuck so far. It’s challenging to lock in on something that would require a grand […]
We’re being followed. Neither your mother nor I were aware of our tail until recently. A man, about 6’0’’, 160lbs and likely of Vietnamese descent, was eyeing us from afar while we were walking together. Since your mother had taken off for a run as soon as we arrived at the park, our plan was […]
