Cross Cultural Relationships

(PICTURE: The weirdest thing about dating Huyen is not that she still yanks out my white hairs when I'm not looking.)

I've been asked a few times what the strangest thing is about dating a Vietnamese girl. Well, that answer is really simple: It's waking up in the middle of the night to your girlfriend talking in her sleep...in Vietnamese.

What's even stranger is the next morning when you try to use your rudimentary Vietnamese skills to tell her what she was saying: "Um, you kept saying...'"

That is my suggestion for you! You should be more hard-working at learning Vietnamese. You will understand what i say when i am sleeping! Will teach you again when you come back and will laugh at your Vietnamese!

At least you speak some Vietnamese. Imagine how frustrating it is trying to understand what our dogs are saying when they talk/bark in their sleep!!
