Still getting used to the wife being here. I woke up this morning and was suprised to see her. It's my mom's birthday and I can't get her to eat American food. Up 'till now, I've done everything the "Vietnamese way", but now she's in America and she's going to have to get used to the idea that she's going to have to meet me half way.

Better chain her to the hot dog cart before it's to late. Didn't you tell her in the US the man wears the pants in the family? The woman only tells him which pair.
 Seriously though, if she isn't willing to respect your mother as I'm sure you respected all her family over there, then you've got some serious work to do.

Seriously though, expect the culture shock to be real and profound. I never felt it when I left the US, but boy when I came back it was harsh. I love the US, but there are things about the way we live that are just plain whacked. Isn't the best food in Cali anyway? When I vistied SF I was so jealous of the food you all had access to.
