So tomorrow there's gonna be this 20 year old Viet chick that's gonna be living with us. She's from the motherland and doesn't know much english. I just need some suggestion on keeping her entertained because it'd be damn boring here in the states if you can't read, write, speak english let alone watch some quality TV or drive on the streets. Things are gonna be different around here though, that's for sure. What to do? She's gonna be staying somewhere around forever and will only go back during vacation time. A conundrum :genius: :genius:

I was in Vietnam about a month ago and it seemed like the kids there have fun by taking a stroll on their bikes, meeting up with their friends and going to eat or drink something. That was basically it, TV was a dud as they had like 5 channels total. Renting movies was good too except it wasnt really a social thing to do with friends. At least thats what I witnessed in the small town of Soc Trang. biggrin.gif

God I want to go back.... cry2.gif
chosenone22
Just take her out to eat show her the sites. if if you good you'll have a bed partner for a longggggggggg time. seriously. beerchug.gif well that would happen if I was there.
EmSkittles19
hm yes.. go to different places. ah! it's cold in minnesota, we can't go to many places for long before it freeeeeeeeeeeezes in fact, it's cold right now!! i bet she'll be an icicle here in no time flat. because vietnam is kinda .. a lot hotter

EmSkittles19
i have thought aboot it, but then.. my rents came to america when they was 21 and oh man i dunno maybe it's just too crazy to go from full viet to full english hm.... i picture myself teaching her english in a german accent then combine that with her natural viet accent would make for some fun times

It all takes time and experience. Seriously, you don't need to teach her nothing. As long as she decided to go to school, she will eventually learn.
tam_ca
that brings me back memories... its fun having a person from vietnam over your house... fun fun fun..especially people who are your age.
GenomVirues
if she dont like weed then rent her some porno beerchug.gif
Huy
if shes not your relative, then show her a good time. if she is your cousin or whatever. show her a good time too if you know what i mean. beerchug.gif nono.gif
EmSkittles19
lol weed her up loiol nooo what if she becomes addicted. like that would be the most fun she EVER had.. then i'd be out $10 a day or somethin.. . yeah she's essentially a stranger to me i guess. probably let her look out the window for fun. it'll be her first time seeing snow at 20. . that's gotta be somethin
holamon
Dude you live in MN, impress her by taking her to Mall of America. Afterward take her to downtown and show her some of the nightlife there. I know MN has some kool clubs. If all fail, take her to a strip join; I know at least you will have a good time if not her. icon_smile.gif
Nam Quoc Son Ha
Rent her some HK or Korean dramas. Better yet, get her some Vietnamese soap opera (Cai Luong) embarassedlaugh.gif
Rocky Cuong V
hm..i reacon you shound let her hang out with your Black and white friends. I think that wound give her quiet a shock eh.
VietNamDNCongHoa
She’ll like it here lot better than Vietnam because of freedom. In beginning she’ll terribly miss her family in Vietnam and the foods.

Is she a stranger to you? Or is she one of your distance relatives? If she’s your relative then it’s easy. For her, it’s first going to be a culture shock. Then she will adapt to it very quickly. She’ll find out, unlike Vietnam, Minnesota is a quiet town.

If she is not your relative then it’s different. Things may get complicated. You may find her a sweetest thing on earth and fall in love with her. Be very gentle. Where do you live? Minneapolis? St. Paul? This time of the year Minnesota starts changing color. It’ll be beautiful everywhere. Maybe the end of this month everything will be red and yellow. Minnesota could become very romantic. Do you have a car? Show her around & have fun. Just remember, almost everything is strange to her...
EmSkittles19
Yeah actually she's like 3rd cousin so i dunno about romantic stuff but i did notice the leaves are startin to turn over here and and it's gettin really cooler! I don' tknow any black people to introduce her to but I betcha she'd get a kick out of the whities here!! because they're so.. white. and they got big eyes. it'll be so foreign biggthumpup.gif biggthumpup.gif
UglyMan
Introduce her to AF my friend. I kill approx 2 to 3 hrs per day. Talking about killing time. when the hell is my next project going to come? Fukin idiots just like to pay me to play on the internet.
EmSkittles19

It's the best way to learn English, lot of sex education, and another way to see how retarded people can be...

Just curious, what is she to you? Is she a relative or what?
Rocky Cuong V

He decided to leave AF for ever becasue of the stupid warning which he got by Chynagonji. (warning for posting in a clan thread that you don't belong to.) I actually ask him to stay, and he agrees to stay, but i haven't seen him around...

Well, can you find some community colleges for her to go to learn English, if you have a vietnamese and English dictionary would be useful. If she's homesick still, take her to stores and ask her buy stuff home and start cooking, those "weed and sex" ideas ain't gonna help, may be once awhile icon_wink.gif and it might not work for those traditional kinda girl, it will make it worse. The best thing is if you have some vietnamese lady friends to introduce her to that will help her out alot. Just few thougts, good luck
