<p>hey what happened to those viet kieu guys? =) it sounds so funny the way they refer to us as "viet cong" :))</p>

<p>People,please do not use such words as " Viet kieu" or "Viet cong" which seem discriminating and may be a bit offensive.We are all Vietnamese people just living in different countries.</p>

<p>it's only discriminating if u make it so... :P chill, HiLine :P</p>

<p>OK
But where are you,my American Vietnamese friends? :)</p>

<p>i wonder what happened to Miaoling :D</p>

<p>Thanks hlvietlong! :)</p>

<p>miaoling was found dead studying for the the National English Competition :D
@HiLine: No Vnmese in this 4rum, so there will be not Viet kieu or Viet cong as these words are Vnmese, right :D
@ronty: I think you can get into an Ivy :) And I hope so, too :D</p>

<p>Let's get back to the "applying" things we are discussing :D What about giang and HiLine, so busy with your own business, huh ?</p>

<p>hlvietlong, my best wishes are for you! :)</p>

<p>i've been procrastinating :D</p>

<p>hmm... Is anyone here interested in writing articles on topics ranging from Education, Sports or any other youth related topic, for a website?
If 'yes' then do PM me. :)</p>

<p>I'm interested in this Admission Process and the Vnmese edu system :D ronty, you mean Global edu, sports... or local ?</p>

<p>Global :) Do u use Yahoo Messenger?</p>

<p>FYI: last time I looked, I was still alive. Thanks for your concern;)</p>

<h2>@ronty: sorry for sounding like a Nosey Parker, but what are your SAT I scores and your college list? @the website, does it cost much? I mean, you have this co.nr domain and all...</h2>

<p>NeVeR gOnE!</p>

<p>umm...No..My website didnt cost me a penny...
My SAT I scores will come out this Feb :)
I need some good writers for my website... :)</p>

<p>Hlvietlong & HiLine: I am back! Sorry but have been super busy the last few months. Ignore terms "viet cong" or "viet kieu" since they would only separate us, make us not united. I never consider myself a viet kieu or whatever. I was born in south VN and visited Hanoi last year for the first time, and I had such a wonderful time. I did not feel the folks I worked with were acting like viet cong, as I was warned by a few people here in the US before I left for VN. I did not and do not consider the people I worked with in Hanoi as viet cong.
To make our homeland strong, we have to overcome many challenges. One of these is discrimination, and I feel this is much more problematic than the viet kieu vs. viet cong thing. It is extremely shameful, but it exists, both in VN and here in the US. I don't know what to call this, regional discrimination I guess. I am pretty sure many Vietnamese would understand what I am talking about here.<br>
Hlvietlong and & HiLine: Keep me posted on your application progress. I am sorry again that I didn't have enough time to consult with you more on this. Hlvietlong: I am extremely impressed with your accomplishment in putting together the syllabus or catalog. It is truly great. I can easily imagine you, and Hung Tran and Khanh Pham, as one of our future leaders, particularly in the field of higher education. Keep up your Great work!
