What I learned from someone's culture and mine

I learned that Nguyen Trai is my great great great great grandfather. I was surprised by my dad. He took our family history book out and told me about my family and how we got killed for 3 generations and how we got saved. I was shocked about my own family. My grandfather was also a translator for the American War. I also saw a picture that he was standing with his American friend.
What I learned from others that Antonia's family are from Hue, I didn't know that because her Vietnamese isn't different than mine, there are 3 kinds of Vietnamese and I speak the South. I learned that Mickey's family has a lot of people. I learned Aeris's manga book is really cool and what her family likes. I also know that Lucky's father was in the Cambodian-Vietnamese war. I also learned David's brother loves tennis and Khai can throw those pins really cool. I also know that Conan has the same countryside as me. I'm glad to know these things from them.

  2. Yes Wendy, I was surprised to hear that you were a descendant of Nguyen Trai and that many people's parents or even earlier generations were in wars.
