So after integrating into Vietnamese and Canadian workforces and lifestyles, I am the 5000% complainer.

So the immigrants that bother me and the Canadians that bother me are whatever.

They complain, they bother while Vietnamese like Son (Erikson) Nguyen is working and having a family for himself?

Finally figured it out that there are different people and different perspectives that can coexist in this world.

If you get annoyed, simply you maybe just a Canadian that the immigrants and Canadians deem you nothing and a bothersome.

So yes, I got to move where I am unbothered and I exist like another person.

So in 2019-2020, I was living in Scarborough.

Was that home?

Good question.

I felt comfortable there with the people and places but the problem was the work. I was studying 24/7/365 in health care.

Was I going to be an all day snot wiper while shopping for dim sum daily at the Asian supermarket?

Hard to justify living in Scarborough or anywhere in Canada to be a snot wiper while eating dim sum when I can be in Vietnam repairing cell phones or selling microwaves with excellent weather and good fresh food ???

I like repairing stuff.

After talking to Erikson, you realize people are the problem and not you.

My generation is the 2nd generation, we lived externally like Canadians. But some people don’t like that. The frequency here is to live externally.

I guess it bothers me and them so much I got to move.
