So i am a 23 year living in jacksonville, fl. I was born and raised here, my parents are both mixed, raised up in Vietnam (Aisa). i am black and vietnamese. Since my parents were raised by single asian parents in asia they only know the asia culture and that how they raised me up in america. Anyways i feel like the first thing people ask me is where or what is the best place to get some vietnamese food? (even though i feel like thats the worse questions to ask because honestly, my parents cooking is the best annddd its free ) but i would say “BOWL OF PHO”. We eat a a lot of noddles, my favorite is Pho (without any meat of course).
People assume since we are vietnamese we MUST do nails, and they’re absolutely right! lol. My parents work the s*** out of me at that salon, started me young too. It definitely disciplined me. But we are very hard workers, we believe that whatever you want in life you got to work hard for . you know what we also believe in? that family need to stick together foreverrrrr. Like you don’t move out until you’re married, and when you do move out you’re moving to your husband’s house to live with his family and take care of his parents!! Guys!!! this is why i can notttt marry an Asian man! we need our own space, probably because i’m more americanize. Anyways i don’t really listen to vietnamese music, because its just so lovey dove , and depressing sometimes. There’s not a certain way we have to dress, but we do have traditional outfits for holidays like ” áo dài”.
My family is buddhist, but we are not religious we don’t go to temples or church. my parents allow me to believe in whatever i want to believe which is pretty cool. Their not really strict that why its probably going to take me 10 years to get a damm degree. They still do take care of me, thats probably weird to other people but thats how asian parents are. so i get to take my time with school, go on vacation and enjoy my single life.
