Please meet our Vietnamese Host Family


My 2nd cousin Peter from Texas is married to Moon, who is from Saigon, and who had invited us to stay with her mom and sister in their house in the heart of the city. So for 4 days, her mom, her sister Kim with husband Long and son Mynh, were our hosts - and became our friends. It was the most amazing experience to get a glimpse into family life in Vietnam. Kim speaks French, and her husband a little English - for the rest of the family we spoke with our hands and smiles.







We are very grateful to Kim and her family, and hope that they will be able to visit us in California one day.
