If you live in Los Angeles, USA .. you may catch her in the air... She is really cool
The thing I like about this woman .. she seems moving toward to her root and her heritage ... and she has a big heart ... I remember ... At Tet, she wore ao dai while read news

She can speak Quang Ngai and Saigon accents.. lol

Hue too. I like her mutt accent. One thing that stuck out about her was when she said something along the lines of "When I tell people I'm going to Viet Nam to visit, I tell them I'm going home."
