Children of Vietnamese immigrant families started life in Little Saigon Westminster. Deeply rooted socially around the surrounding vicinity is expected. As families accumulated more wealth the need to upgrade lifestyle and habitat are signs to measured one's success in the immigrant community. Over the years children growing up are accustomed to the food culture and bargain only to be found in Little Saigon. The need to have access to the restaurant and food retail is paramount for this growing demographic. Many now are now adults with professional jobs and the first generation to receive a college education. The parents and other relatives may continue to benefit from government financial assistance even the children are now successful.
The tale of two cultures. the children are torn between the American and immigrant life. Home location in their purchase is pertinent in proximity to relative and Vietnamese friends and culture. Garden Grove is where most of the immigrant parents purchased homes while Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach are the destination for the children's generation. Cafe, Pho and pop music are important in their culture and so are some of the festivities such as Chinese new Year. Most of the variety shows and music are not produced in the communist Vietnam but rather are produced in America and distributed world wide by CDs and DVD format. Musical concerts and Variety show tour are global. The cast traveled to places with Vietnamese population like France and Singapore. Large Hotel Casino in San Diego and Vegas often accommodate the events. The shows are performed in Vietnamese but many of the cast members are American born Vietnamese. The important of bilingual is also strongly rooted in the young generation because this is the only method of communication between the elder and young generation.
HS Teacher I believe fit into this young generation profile. Fountain Valley is the best fit to balance the best of both cultures.
