My uncle, immigrated to the US a few years ago. He was pulled to the US by a pull factor. It has greater opportunities, in earning more money and having better education ground for his children. He decided to take this external immigration because to him, Vietnam couldn’t provide the same quality of education. Also, here in Ho Chi Minh City, the economy capital of Vietnam isn’t affordable for him to have a job of his profession that helps him earn more money.
Now, my uncle settled in Philadelphia. He said that he didn’t want to stay in the outskirt area because the urban area where he lives is better for his job. There, his customers come more than the outskirt. The bad thing is that his interactions with his neighbors seem to be difficult. Also, his children forgot some of Vietnamese culture and language. He told me that he miss his homeland, in Vietnam. He misses his family and friends, whom he left behind. But now, he has a much better life than in Vietnam
