Hi, everyone! My name is Hans. I'm an American that's been living in VN for about 5 years. I like living in vn but I miss my Vietnamese/American friends. The local thinking here is different and they don't understand a lot of the western jokes or customers. Anyone coming to vn soon? :-)

Hello,

well, cultural differences. I do understand your feelings in those cases coz i ever did.
However; I myself see it as an interesting point once talking with foreigners, therefore; i'd like to learn about it as much as possible.
If available, i would welcome your sharing on all different local thinking and western jokes that you experienced?

Nga.

Hello Kenjee,
My blog was not intended for people already in Vietnam. It was intended for Vietnamese people living in America that will visit Vietnam soon. Please put this post back to America so that I can talk to Vietnamese/Americans that will visit Vietnam soon.

Thank you,
Hans

have you tried YouTube? I got some good jokes from there. Seriously, you should be able to adapt to the culture there having lived in VN for 5 years. What kind of jokes were you telling them? Please don't tell me they're blonde jokes
