ROACH COACH!

 

haven't ate any dogs here........

 

damn so many viet with nice cars. 1 here checkin in, VA.

 

My user name sort of give my nationality away... Grew up in Chico, CA, home of 5 Vietnamese people. Actually, there's many more now, but in the 80's there weren't many. I can understand about 40% of the language, but can't speak it at all, even if my life depended on it. I've taught myself to read some, but I find the language very hard to re-learn without practicing it more often. I have very few Vietnamese friends, and we only speak english to each other. All of them are nearly fluent, but have since given up on teaching me the language since I can't take part in in-depth conversations.

Vietnamese food is still my favorite, but I basically insist on home cooked meals from my mother and other relatives. All that MSG in restaurant food (especially pho) give headaches.

In any case, I thought I'd attach one of my favorite pictures from my trip there two years ago. I love living in CA, but there is certainly something beautiful and inviting about Vietnam. I will visit again, no doubt about it!

 

No dog here either....

Snakes, field mice and frog on the other hand....Ummmm!!!

 

No dog for me. Wazowski is not my last name lol. and Mike isn't my first name lol.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma.

My brother and sister call me twinkie. Yellow on the outside, white in the inside.

Victor

 

Nguyen is pronounce nooyen or gooyen.

Ah Du Ma!

 

I always heard it as "Neh-win".


Man I hated elementary school....

"Um last name Neh Guy Yen please stand up"

"F*CK! I'm here!!"

 

Chico! I love that place, was there a month ago for Memorial day party/bachalor etc.. Such hotties there! I might be back up there in a month or so!

Twinkie....hahahaha, thats a good one. Anyways, the yellow part pronounce it as "Nguyen", the white part will pronouce as "win". Also no dogs here, Rick might be mad if I admit it

 

Nguyen...Yep, tough name for a non-vietnamese to figure out. I considered changing it at one time in my life, since there are millions of nguyens out there. I'm going to spare my child, and probably give him another last name. I'm thinking... "Winsfield".

On another note, my wife took on my last name. She's caucasian, mostly of English descent. I told her to keep her last name, but she took up Nguyen anyway...and so the punishment continues....

 

I am vnese too...
I love to eat dog, snake, pho, bun bo hue.....and lastly, thich' an chim.........

 

^^^Ngoi gi!? What kind of chim....?

 

Thich an chim dep.....

 

Does chim = "bird"?

 

Ang chim dep co ngoui nam?

 

another Viet here.....I didn't see this thread until today..... by the way, any viet in Northern VA wanna hook up for some fun .....

 

Any northern Viets? Hooray for communism!

 

Yes and also depends how you use it, it can also means a male's private parts.

 

I always thought Nguyen was pronounced like "win." I realize its about as common as Smith or Johnson, but it was my mother's maiden name. Perhaps I'm related to some of you.

BTW - No dog here, but I have tried shark.

 

I'm a Northern Viet by descent, but born in the South. Communism, eh overrated
