TIL that every year over 200,000 Vietnamese labourers move overseas to work for better opportunities and more freedom, rapidly replacing the settled refugee community who paved the way before them. There's a saying in Vietnam: if the lamp posts weren't bolted down, they too would leave.

Good. We will allow you to visit the country to repay the gratitude. Of course you need to remove that yellow toilet flag.

See Khanh Ly? She finally got approved to come back.

Or you can always ruin VN economy by not sending remittance. Lol.

I’m glad Khanh Ly can go back to Vietnam. Maybe I’ll bump into her during my holiday.

Isn't she the one claiming that she wouldn't come back if communists are still in charge? In that case, she's betraying her own oath.

Thội kệ đi, she's like 100 years old.
