I met up with Duong Nem for a few hours after not seeing him for many months. Our reunion in Saigon was very last minute and unplanned too far in advanced. I only found out that he was in town a day or two before he was scheduled to leave and before I was scheduled to fly to another city. We were very fortunate to see each other and I'm glad I got a chance to meet his family. His story is a little bit complicated. After spending time back in Vietnam, he was wanting to go back to Senegal to work again. Even though he was having a hard time when I came, he ultimately decided that life in Africa was better for him now than life in Vietnam. I want to wish his the best of luck in his future endeavors.

He has more swag in Africa
I.N. Turrner - that's so deep
That's pretty much how I felt when I saw the first video. I think that in Senegal he's somebody special maybe he gets laid alot maybe he's a Playboy or some type of celebrity I don't know but it just seems like he'd rather be in Senegal because in reality the economy all throughout Asia is pretty good these days even a Vietnam . They have a lot of nice apartments and houses. he can do very well there financially I believe anyway.
swag,,,, lol..but true
@fifikhalifa barry thank you, he loves Senegal but misses his daughter thats all
@@kocoaberry7041 Lol! You guys are seriously sexually deprived for thinking this guy is in Senegal for the pussies! A small asian dude making a decent but very modest living by selling spring rolls won't get any free pussies in Africa. The real issue is that this guy was an unskilled laborer who learned from scratch how to make spring rolls and how to run a small business...but guess what! in Vietnam there are millions of people who make and sell spring rolls for a living...but in Senegal his small business is pretty unusual and have much more potential than in Vietnam...so yes in Senegal he's special, but this is not the kind which will attract pussies!
Plus if he go back to Vietnam he would have to start over, not an easy choice and task for a dude in his forties...
He wont say it in the videos but the reality is that "Vietnamese Man" has only one craft (he explains it in the first video) which is making "fried spring rolls". He knows its much easier for him to sell them over in Senegal because he's basically the only one making them. The situation would be much different in Saigon where they sell them everywhere in the streets.
This exactly. He kind of said it in his video if he goes back he and his wife would have to work somewhere in a factory or something..
As a person with senegalese origins who grew up in senegal I disagree. Nems have been around long before Duong ever stepped foot in the country. I've had nems hundreds of times in shops of dakar, but never has it been sold to us by a Vietnamese person, so it is not a job limited to only them. If you watched the first video, you would have noticed that the original recipe of nem has been altered in a manner more suitable to senegalese people's tastebuds. He had to learn how to make them the way the citizens liked it in order to sell them. It could be that his life is easier there for many more factors other than the one you named. When you spend so many years in a place and adapt to their environment, its not that easy to leave it all and go back to old ways of living.
He actually said that - he knows 1 thing and 1 thing only. He's not a businessman; he's a laborer who has generally learned from bad experiences. If he tries to sell in Vietnam, the competition would be too great and he would not be able to provide for his family - that's obvious and he never hid that.
true if his nem succes in vietnam he can earn alot but if it fail = he have to work in factory and his wife too , it easy in senegal than in vietnam , vietnam is a hard place to be succes cause there is many restaurant sell Nem
So his wife does not work at all?
I'm feeling very sad watching Duong and learning more of his struggles. I think because he is able to make a living in Senegal and
Is able to provide for his family, he's accepted the fact that life is just what it is. No need for enjoyment.. just survival. He feels burdened coming back to Vietnam because he's probably constantly reminded that he has to continue working/living in a foreign land so his family can continue to survive. It's the constant pressure. In Senegal, life is somewhat more simple. Wake up, go to work, sleep and repeat. I hope he'll live comfortably one day in both his physical and spiritual being.
Better he marry Senegalese women rather than Vietnamese sinced he is living and earning there. Every country in the world has poor, extremely poor (homeless), middle class and rich, and ultra rich or super rich people, family or personels.
@@dazzling9606 Yes there is nothing inherently bad about any country that a wife will not visit her husband?
When I watched the first video about him, I thought that it was Senegal that made him unhappy. Now, I believe that he would be unhappy anywhere. I hope that he will continue to be able to provide for his daughter. Hopefully, one day , they will be reunited for good.
I commented the same thing on the other video. Glad to see I not the only one to make the observation. The man has had ot rough and he needs to take care of his mental health now that he is not in survival mode.
The mind can only protect you for so long before you have to face your emotions
@@triggabun I agree with your comment. He only seems to approach happiness when he is with his daughter. Maybe it's time for him to pack up and go back to Vietnam.
This might be true...
True. He has internal issues.
This is one of the best things I have seen on RUclips. He doesn't know it but he is speaking for a lot of 1st generation immigrants all over the world. We hate were we are but we cannot stand to go home either.
The levels to the two videos are really deep and contain so much undercurrents that only those who have been through it can appreciate his dilemma fully.
The man has heart. It will be well.
You said it best!
I second that 👍 I ve been overseas for over 20 years ,
Very well said. I feel the same.
Any Updates 2020 ???
Selling nems is a good business in Senegal. People eat it as a snack every afternoon or evening. I think if he expands his business he will be rich and the fact that he is Vietnamese makes senegalese want HIS food. I want to meet him though
I wanna meet him too such an interesting story
Amina Niang have you had a chance meeting the man yet?
it may be a good idea for me to go sale tacos in senegal? ja
Amina, You are a smart young lady!..
Please let us know if you have met him
Love this guy. I Love his spirit. He has a good heart. Heck, we are all a mass of contradictions. He just admits it and rocks on. One cool dude! I wish him every happiness.
'...we're all a mass of contradictions' - so very true!!
😂😂😁😁😁
One spring roll at a time my friend. One spring roll at a time.
This is such a strange story, but the more I think about it the more it does make sense. This guy's entire life has revolved around making spring rolls. In Vietnam I imagine that skill is not so profitable, as spring rolls are so easy to find, but in Senegal he is probably one of only very few people selling them. It's still weird that he chooses to leave his wife and child behind to go live by himself in a country so far away, but if making spring rolls is the only way he knows how to provide for them, and living there is the only way that he can do it, then it is at least somewhat understandable. What an unfortunate circumstance though.
Thank you for posting this video I am an African I am amazed by his true tenacity and hard work ! Becouse most africans make dangerous journey by boat to reach to europe for a better life however duong comes to Africa and made a living! How ironic is that! Please continue documenting
Wow that is deep but very good point.
What the hell are you talking about. There are 1.2 billion Africans, I do not think even 1% makes those dangerous to boat. Please where are you coming from with that useless comment. May be majority of Ethiopians, so don't generalize.
Essomo Serge Dont you feel ashamed as an African when one Asian came and make a living in Africa!
Whites have been making Africa their home for centuries. So it is good to see something different for a change. By the way, Black Americans are increasingly making Africa their home, but it is not for economic reasons though. It is because America is becoming more complicated to live. Take a look at RJ Mahdi videos.
And many Africans stay home and make a living. Many Vietnamese come to Europe by boat too. In the uk 2 years ago 39 Vietnamese immigration died inside a lorry 🚚 from Belgium to the uk.
To be honest , this guy Duong's statements are seemingly riddled with contradictions ( in both videos ) unwittingly.
He is a complicated man
Totally agree!!!
Yup. That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it. Also, for some reason, eventhough he claims he prefers Africa and moved back to Senegal, he seemed younger in Vietnam. In my opinion.
Rogelio Gómez it's because mental health affected person's appearance
@@AshG321M thanks for the response. Had not thought about that.
I watched this video clip, it made me remember one Vietnamese man is living in Sierra Leone. He fled Vietnam since 1975 and now he is living with his African (Sierra Leonean) wife in Freetown. He almost forget how to speak Vietnamese. If you are interested to meet him in Sierra Leone, let me know, I will send you a connection.\
+Sok Savuth yes..send me a fb message please.
Sok Savuth , I thought I saw that story somewhere about him. I was confused when I saw this one because I was thinking of the man that you are talking about.
for the man, I was talking about, he still living in Sierra Leone and I haven't contacted him since I left Sierra Leone in end of 2008, but I still have connection on how to find him.
Show megold from vletam
Wow would love to see that.. seeing that am sierra leonean...
As a person who had lived in The UK for 8 years and then decides to give up everything and come back to Vietnam, i have to say it's never been easy. Most people haves called me "STUPID", but luckily i'm not the one who care much about other people opinion,
i came back because i know this is place that i can make my dream come true and be happy. Honestly, i was struggling and it took me 2 years to fit back in to environment. But now i'm so glad with my decision because all of my hard works have paid off.
My point is whenever you live the important that you find your own happiness. and i'm sure you only can be happy when you "LIVE A REAL MEANINGFUL LIFE INSTEAD OF..JUST FOR THE SURVIVOR".
@Zeeqtee Prn, true.
Bcos u earned better in UK than him, u know if u are a foreigner, UK, America, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy is just only a fantasy dreams, but the reality ouch
Yeah you moved back because you can’t even write correctly lol
Because UK is not senegal you can't compare them
@@dazzling9606 you couldn't have said it any better reality is just a different story
" Eat to Live , Not Live to Eat "
Remember this Kyle :-P
AQUA VIII ' $ But now a day, "Eat to work" and "Work to eat" ok..?! :)
nanh , you just keep it to yourself.
America people should learn this..lmao
This is Vietnamese quote.
Mr. Doung Nem is treated like a Supah Stah in his little community in Senegal. He even dresses the part with his gold chain and pimp hat...lol I wish him and his family best of luck....I hope they can be re-United soon.
you nailed it precisely, Mr Duong could live in Viet Nam and maybe working as an operator in a factory, he would probably earn the same as he's earning now with is egg-roll biz. The swag and freedom that goes with his senegalese life is that little extra that makes him choose for Senegal at this moment. (i think)
Mad respect for Duong, he keeps fighting and fighting everyday nonstop.
Nice documentary but the guy was pretty weird… trying to show how his life is miserable. Senegal is a great country, the entrance gate to Africa from Europe… it’s the most developed country in West Africa with Ivory coast. There are lots of business to do, freedom (real one) and access to all technology. There is a huge expat community (+30k French only in Dakar). I see that most of people think that Africa is a country and think that vietnam is safer than senegal… Try to spend a week in saigon and a week in dakar then tell us where you lost your bag/phone. Nice
documentary but the guy was pretty weird try to show his life is misearible inNice
documentary but the guy was pretty weird try to show his life is misearible in
Thank you for the real talk. The key thing is, it is possible to live well anywhere in the world if you respect yourself and your neighbour that's the bottomline. As we see in this documentary, he kept himself humble and was rewarded with what he needed to survive, and live long enough to become a father to a gorgeous baby girl. Returning to start a business in Vietnam would be difficult as he would have to learn a new skill, whereas every African I know loves Chinese food and is a novelty dish for them. Africa is booming and more Vietnamese will bypass Europe and opt for Africa instead. I hope his wife can support him with his vision.
I wish one day he also realized that his wife and girl needs his love and presence too.
It's easy to have an opinion when your life is nothing like his.
So interesting. A man without a country. A bird without a nest...
You mean, a bird with TWO nests.
No sir. He found Senegal to be a good place to live and became attached to it. It was obviously hard at first but he is successful with his business and is living well with the friendly Senegalese. Spring rolls and egg rolls can go a long way.
If he opens his heart he will know he has found his place in senegal.
It's hard though. I've lived in the UK for 30 yrs, no matter how much I open my heart, I crave for my homeland..
Amana Nkele true only when he make Senegal became his 2nd home.
I love this story! It's one of perseverance and sadness Imho. I wish Duong and his family well! Hopefully he can be reunited with his family soon.
CẢM ƠN BẠN ĐÃ LÀM PHÓNG SỰ RẤT TUYỆT
My theory is that he really misses his African girlfriend. But his guilt and fatherly instinct made him leave Senegal to take care of his family back in Vietnam.
Now I get it. While having family in Vietnam, he still prefers to live alone in Senegal because he can "breathe" there. I think he is that kind of person who really loves private space. That's probably why he does not want to live in Vietnam. It's maybe too crowded for him and he would have to take care of so many things.
Great vids, Kyle. I feel bad for him. Choose to live away from home to put food on the table for his family is a HUGE sacrifice anyone could ever make. The only thing I wish it would happen is his wife to make the same sacrifice for him. I sense his bitterness when he mentioned his wife would always stay 2nd place instead of 1st. As a life partner, if you choose to marry them, then grow old with them, do the same sacrifice as they did, and take care each other in sickness and in well. I feel there was only him, who made the sacrifice and its pissed me off 😂😂😂.
I understand Africa living standard is not as "great" as the States or the European countries, and if you compare it to the countryside of Vietnam, compare it to some of the "ethnical" groups regions, it is not unbearable. Things get better when you accepted it. He had business going in Africa, thats awesome. Living in Vietnam now, not be able to start any business on your own and got stucked with this "economical" system, if I was him, I would come back to Africa also 😢.
what happened to their marriage vow? for better or for worst ..its tough making a living in senegal and your wife is not there to support you ...
guys this is not korean drama where you deep dive and over-analyze everything written in the sub-title. he could have a black mistress back in Senegal for all we know.
In the previous video I thought that woman was. But no mention, much shades of gray.
LOL
nik nikos i feel sad for him as his wife is very selfish indeed as changed her mind at the last minute refusing to go to Africa with him.
Quite a fascinating story.I thought he was back to Vietnam and left senegal.But shocked ,the end was different and read the description after the end of the video too.Not a vietnamese but i enjoyed watching the previous video vietnamese in africa and that was inspirational as well as emotional on the other hand.
Well that is not hard; it's to be expected. He's just another Vietnamese in Vietnam. In Senegal he stands out. More potential to earn like other Viets in the diaspora. To make it in Vietnam he has to be prepared to compete with well-established businesses and maybe have to pay bribes to open shop. Life in easier in Africa and the air is better for the lungs unless he lives in rural parts of Vietnam where he can't make a living then he can have all the fresh air he wants.His wife is a different story. Hard for her to just pick up and move just to support him.
The next time that I am in Dakar, I will definitely seek out Duong and his tasty beef egg rolls. I wish him the best and why not live between both countries as he probably is. I know that flying to Dakar from Vietnam must be crazy expensive and a very long flight transiting through Europe, but I think he is living a life like most people will never experience.
I think he is happy with his life there. It is human nature to adapt and adopt. We Vietnamese came to other countries in the world and became loyal citizens, parts of the structure of those societies.
Wow what a difficult decision...he has such a beautiful family in VN.
VF VFH yeah..! :) he just says... "fate" that is all..! :)
Despite understanding your mom's perspective in wanting to stay in Cali, it's these heart felt films that keeps me saying keep doing you - a lot of Viet Kieus or Asian immigrant offspring in general forget the struggle, forget how hard our parents worked and how lucky we have it and we shouldn't be complaining.
good to remind us 'immigrant offsprings' from where ever about the real sacrifices our parents did for us
brokethehabit I
That's what I got out of it, too.
Thank you Duong Nem for sharing your incredible story with Kyle. It's great to see your beautiful daughter and wife. I hope in the future your life in Senegal and their life in Vietnam will find the balance which makes you both happy.
Kyle...I understand the attachment Duong has africa once you live there....no other place will fill like home....because people are so welcoming like family you never had....it's amazing it's something words can't describe only fillings ....100% Duong made the right decision... and wish him all the best in the future him and his family
Absolutely!
His daughter could learn French and English and become a world citizen, moving on up the social ladder.
Dude its not Africa it's Senegal ! And Senegal has many positives !
My impression from the first video was that he isn't exactly living "alone" in Africa. Seems like he has some feminine company.
Quyết định của Anh Dương trở lại Africa rất hợp tình, hợp lý. Quê hương đã bỏ anh, Nay anh nhận Châu Phi là quê hương vì chính từ nơi đó anh đã tạo được một đời sống, ít ra là đáng sống. Đây cũng là tâm trạng của rất nhiều người Việt tha hương vì lý do chính trị, xã hội. Họ đành chấp nhận "nơi này làm quê hương, dẫu cho khó thương".
Cảm ơn Anh Dương va Kyle Le Dot Net đã bỏ công sức làm một Video rất có giá trị, đầy cảm xúc.
I hate the waste mentality where you rather hold onto something forever because it's a waste than letting it go and chasing something that can ultimately bring you true happiness
I feel sad for his daughter. As she gets older, she'll likely feel neglected.
I'm going to spend some time sending prayers of love & positivity for this family. I feel for their situation and can understand the complexities of struggle.
Living in another country is not easy. Your family and heart belongs to where you were born. When I was almost 30 I discovered my parents were no longer young. I understood it was time not to live far away.
Depends how long you are gone from your home country, I am a foreigner in my native country and could never go back, a few weeks is a trial for me.
Love the content, Africa embraced him, and he is embracing Africa back. What a great story, this humble man will be blessed.
Black people are more acceptance than Asian. When I was in Africa, people there welcome me without even knowing me. I love Africa, but right now the tension with Chinese people, I think that things change a lot.
Duong looks happy with his life in Senegal, he needs to get himself a Beyonce and start a family there.
Hahhahah....beyonce
I think he secretly has
😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
LOL
Beyonce? lMAO
This guy needs to write a blog or produce a movie or something. His life is way too interesting!
How in the world that your wife didn’t come with you?
I hope everything works out and you get to keep making these videos .. I admire your dedication and my best wishes for you bro .. love your channel .. I wish I could do something for my people like how you do it .. thank you for inspiring me :)
Hey Kyle! I'd really like you to try the 23andMe DNA test! Although your channel has been mainly dedicated to the Vietnamese culture, it would be amazing for us to find out if you are not 100% Vietnamese (or a mixture of another race). Thanks for educating and entertaining us about the Vietnamese people from around the world. Keep up with what you're doing! 👍🏻🙏🏻😍
+Julie Trinh they don't break up southeast Asian races that well... I'll contact them to see if I can get a sponsored one.
+Kyle Le Dot Net OMG that would be awesome to do a video on learning about your DNA!! You da man!
23andme and the rest of the Western genetic testing companies cater towards Western customers. They don't differentiate Asian genetics well at all, going to have to wait till Asia makes some good ones
What is a pure Vietnamese? Been much intermixing of the race from the ancient past to the present. Vietnam has about 54 ethnic groups.
Forex Trader Facts?
I think Duong has two families on in Vietnam and the other one in Senegal. I think he is hiding this
No he doesn't. That woman in the video is his neighbor. And the kid works for him...
Kyle you are tripping if you think that man has been without a woman in Senegal all that time.
No one is saying he hasn't been with a Senegalese woman, but to say he has two families is preposterous. Let's face it, this guy is far too cheap to want the expense of 2 families. :)
@Zeeqtee Prn hahahahaha @He’s not dressing like that in black with a gold chain for nothing.
I gotta say this was one of your best videos. Loved the format and learning about his story. Well done. More like this! You weren't your corny self hahah
The proverb: "man plans but god determines" (Mưu sự tại nhân, thành sự tại thiên) is ever wrong? We can not determine our futures, at best we can only adapt to its realities. The man follows his fate back to Africa, his wife follows hers to stay in VN, and the daughter is generating her own mysterious path. Perhaps, that's why life is so interesting?
huge respect to this man. but he should return to vietnam instead of staying overseas away from his family. the country is changing with booming economy plenty of work.
Nice bro!
One of the coolest stories from your channel...
Về Việtnam làm gì khi ở nước ngoài đã có sự nghiệp .về Việtnam giờ này anh "chả giò "phải bon chen gấp 10 lần ở nước ngoài chưa chắc đã đủ sống ,Kyle không có chuyện gì hỏi hay sao cứ hỏi anh này chừng nào anh về Việt Nam ,xin lỗi chú Kyle ở Việtnam cây cột đèn biết đi nó cũng bò ra khỏi Việtnam ,chúng tôi ghét nhứt những người kêu người khác trở về Việt nam ,vậy chú Kyle yêu đất nứơc Việt nam sao trên mạng không nói tiếng Việt mà cứ xổ tiếng Anh Show off ,vậy có đúng không ?
His wife probably doesn't love him enough to be with him in Senegal, she loves his money
Sound I'm Canadian live in africa came from as young age africa but scarface with your family i live better in Canada if she try she can do
Unknown: what’s love? It doesn’t exist. If it did, people wouldn’t divorce after loving each other for years!
He did choose to comeback Africa probably because he could earn his living their and support his family in Vietnam, some say he could do the same business in Vietnam but no one can be sure if it goes well easily. He's a very strong man, he always has an upbeat personality. Anh Dương, cố gắng nha anh.
I knew he would return.south east Asia is worse than senegal despite what people say and think.
Ruba Kamya vietnam is 100 times more modern than Senegal. If you haven't been there please dont talk stupid. Vietnam today isn't like before. dumbass comments.
Ruba Kamya there are many African including Senegal living in Vietnam too. Some have job and some doing bad things to make money (many African men dated with old but rich Vietnamese ladies for 💰 . I have few African friends working for FPT in Hanoi, they are happy there, they are paid same amount as local. I have travelled to Kenya, I love the country and have friends there but to comparing with Vietnam, for me Vietnam is better. i left Vietnam 3 years ago to get a Job in South Korea. Việt Nam nowadays is going fast (6-7%) while S Korea's economy already get stable (1%) therefore I'm planning to come back within 1-2 years as If I return later I will loose the chance to make money
Gm Useless You're the one who is sooo damn.You're making comments with no evidence.I lived in Vietnam for 5 years and can't even say anything good even if you paid me.
I don't think he came back for modern buildings. Clearly he had many positive relationships with the people.
@@Tu-kw4zx Tien return to Senegal it's the best way to him and can help his family .
I love this man's story, he went went thru pure hell in Senegal, I'm really happy to see about everything this wonderful man has accomplished in his life, I really sympathise with him, he reminds of myself when I left my country of origin to come to the USA, I know exactly how he feels about wanting to be in both countries, Senegal and Vietnam, in my case after 40 years of living in the USA I find my self going back and forth between the US and my country of origin, I don't have to travel as far between continents like this Vietnamese man does, so that makes this man truly extraordinary and Special, this guy is my hero! I love this documentary excellent work! Greetings from the USA!
He needs to open up more than one shop. He's sitting on gold in Senegal.

Why do you call it africa, when it's actually senegal?
+Chizzy D I call it Senegal many times. I even included it in the title. Senegal is in Africa. Most people don't know where Senegal is, so I have to use Africa so people can see.

Awesome story. Thank you for sharing. Must be tough for Duong to leave his wife and daughter behind to live/work in Senegal.
I rather live in Vietnam than Africa a lot African a in China studying and working. Vietnamese food is so good Vietnam people a beautiful.
Thank you for sharing Duong story with us all. I absolutely loved his honesty.However, I’m conflicted when it comes to thoughts of his wife.For a man who loves and lives a selfless life his wife appears to be the exact opposite, it seems she want to live a life of forever comfort and it doesn’t matter if her husband has to die to deliver just that!
Not to mention that Duong seem to have a pure love for his daughter that his wife use as leverage. I knew instantly when I held her voice the first time on camera it sound short and highly annoyed! Not her exact wording but something similar when she said “why would you say the light worked this morning when it didn’t work” zoom in on her face . It seem that she couldn’t get him back to Senegal any faster of which he boarded a plane back to Senegal the next day. I think Doung has been taken advantage of enough in life, he should be the one at home with his daughter enjoying the remainder of his life.
🤦♀️ at his wife!!!
You’ll see just how hard life truly is... when Doung is no longer around b/c he worked himself to death. Wives are suppose to be helpmates not a stalemates!

#Aviewershonestopinion
Duong is us. Although we try our best to make life black and white, there really are a lot of gray areas. Like one my professors said many years ago "Life is FULL of contradictions." It helps to remember that.
Anh nay nhin going hoai linh.
yen nguyen hello.
His wife looked totally disconnected from him.
Maybe she already cheating with other man.
I've watched the other video in which this guy lives in Senegal. I've just finished watching this one video in Vietnam. My conclusion is that this guy does not know where his soul is, or, he's just one of those people who love complaining about everything and anything.
He love Senegal and Vietnam, If his wife and his daughter came with him, it will be easier i think.
@@marieb7847 I agree. I think he likes his lifestyle in Senegal, but he craves the company of his family. If his family moved there with him, he wouldn't feel so lonely. He hangs out with friends but at the end of the day, he goes back to an empty home and a solo life. For someone who loves his daughter so much, it must be so painful to think about her every day, wondering what she's doing and what she's learning. He's missed all the milestones in her life so far. It must hurt to know that he wasn't there when she first learned to talk, to walk, started first day of school, etc., etc. I hope one day he can make the choice that is best for him and that his friends and family will support him through it all.
Nothing to spend on there ( Sénégal)? I found that really harsh to say. Everyone has there own tastes and preferences. I am an African living in Europe for the last four years and do not necessarily enjoy the food here, however I am able to appreciate certain things, keep myself happy. Life is what you make of it.
Personally I think he should stay in Vietnam with his wife and his daughter. He is in his 50s already i think, spending time with your family is a priority decision. best wishes to him and his family.
Spending quality life with his wife/ daughter for what? Who's going to work then? Who's going to feed them? eat shit? I'm sorry, when you starts a family, you need to think your kids first. Who's going to pay for education expenses? $$ doesn't grow on tree. The government are not going to feed you, ya know. It isn't like you can go on welfare or free medi-cal/caid or free financial aid education system liked in US with tax payers $$ expenses. His daughter might not see it, but will appreciate his sacrifice for his her. I have a child and I paid for my child private school expenses and not living in the welfare system or low class category and i worked my asses off to where I'm now with a lot of sacrifices and business travel and not seeing my child often either.
Chú này nhìn giống Hoài Linh❤
He confuses me so much lol
He sounds confused himself
me too lol
back in africa because mr duong gets bored of the vietnamese... new people new looks especially he gets chances to speak the new language... french :)
This man is confused .
Yes, because you have lived his life.
He's hiding something!!!
He should live in Africa. He couldn't sell egg rolls in Vietnam and he is doing very well in Senegal.
His family , like his father, can actually try to get a job themselves and not living off him like suckers. The dude is clearly in denial. He needs to make money thats why he leaves again, all of this talking made him uncomfortable. He can use his daughter als excuse, works perfectly , but in the end you need to live ur life for you, not your parents, your wife, your children .
Maybe he has a lover he really in love with in africa 😆
You might be right but I m sure his wife has boyfriend there in Viet otherwise she didn't cancel her flight to senegal at last moment
His vietnamese wife tried living in Senegal and left.
During his visit to Vietnam, he bought her a ticket to Senegal, because she had agreed to go back with him. However, she changed her mind at the last moment. It's not his fault she's not living in Senegal with their daughter and him.
twinani1 yes. someone is making him want to stay in African,it is not EGG ROLLS.
😆😆😆
@nik nikos I think you're right. I certainly got that feeling when he kept saying that the wife was second.
This is a very sad story and a very good story too. Incredible man who come from nothing but make something out of himself in a foreign land. I think he don't need to choose between Vietnam and Senegal. He live in both places. Hire someone to run your day to day business of selling egg rolls in Senegal and fly back and forth to between two places. With today technology, he can totally do this..
Good idea.
it sounds like Duong Nem does not know what he wants. he was trafficked to Senegal, right? now hes used to the freedom of a foreign country. but in Africa, he keeps complaining about how hard life eas there. WTF!!!
Probably because the life there IS hard for him and for others !!!
Also ,I believe he said that he was tricked into going to the Ivory Coast,then had to make his escape to Senegal.[
Maybe his wife is number two and his daughter is number one because his wife treats him like number five . I would want to be with my husband. Even if it wasn’t an ideal situation I would prefer to be with him and try to make a life with him. He could make things more pleasant for her because then he wouldn’t have to keep up two households. The cost of keeping her in Vietnam and keeping Home in Senegal is a lot.
Kyle, thanks for bringing this fascinating and unique story to us. Understand this, when someone was force in a situation where they must "swim or sink", and have the strength to "swim", they found their Indenty and purpose. Especially for us men. To go elsewhere is to kind of losing oneself. That is why Duongs Nem feels incomplete even in Vietnam.
Im pretty sure over Senegal he misses his family and mother land, but going back over vietnam, he misses his life style and the close knit community there. He definitely has a dilemma going on.
Kyle...something's wrong with the title.
It's either "What did he choose?" Or "What is his choice?"
+Michelle D thank you. This is what happens when you don't sleep. Thank you.
Kyle Le Dot Net - It's nice to see Duong truly happy from his heart when he is in Vietnam to see his daughter and wife. I wish they could all live together happily, whether it be in Senegal or Vietnam, but I understand life has its obstacles that we must accept and face. Though it would be ideal for his wife to live with Duong in Senegal, I can sympathize with her choice.
It would be difficult for her to live in Senegal, she wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone since she doesn't know the language. And if Duong goes with her, how would be be able to work. And the daughter would also feel awkward when she goes to school in a classroom full of African kids. That's probably why she felt it best to stay in Vietnam.
Thanks for the update Kyle! I will remember these two videos forever and I wish Duong the best in the many years ahead.
It doesn't sound like he has a very happy marriage at all. I would just get a divorce & visit the kid. Or maybe work out a visitation schedule or something.
Wow. He's so used to the life in Senegal, that despite the obvious higher quality of life in Vietnam and his love for his daughter and wife, he returns Home. Or, in the Vietnamese way of speaking, went back. That's so sad! The fate defeated his spirit. You can see it when he says that he doesn't dare to eat good oysters and rather eat the cheapest stuff. It's humility the extreme and IMO bad way. Of course his wife decided to stay home, she would be crazy to go with him. It's crazy and stupid for him to go back to Senegal. But it's also hard not to listen to one's heart.
he has not found happiness yet. Watch his video - He smiles out(side) and pains in(side)
How do you know the quality of life is better in Vietnam? You should visit Senegal.
OMG, look at the previous video and this video with him and compare how he lives. I don't talk about the overall quality.
Ok, I understand now because the way you said that before it looked like quality of life was higher in Vietnam.
Have you been to Africa? If so where? There is poverty in the UK like you would never believe existed and the people here are wicked.
Great video. My husband and I have rented rooms for working foreigners and they lived here in the States for years-leaving their spouse and children behind. Most are not welcome back because their family wants them to live here and support them while they sit on their asses. So on.. many of these men have girlfriends/mistresses, I wonder why.. Sad but true. People are envious, living life without truely understanding on how to live it to the fullest. He's a hard worker, n it's sad to see how far he is away from his child.
This was a nice update Kyle. I couldn't help but notice he seems so happy and at peace in Vietnam. Just like a whole different person.
get it from me. never waste your time if u r still single. U see this guy. At the back of his mind whats bothering him is being away from his family. U can be anywhere in the world and even survive a jungle if u r with your wife and kids. He loves africa and he wants to b there but wife isnt buying the idea. If he were single he would be far happier in africa and even marry one of the women there. So story for today kids is dont waste your single life. Work hard and achieve your goals as fast as u can and then slowly and carefully choose a wife that is willing to relocate anywhere with you.
the wife does not seem to be happy and look isolated. Not sure why
Wei Liang maybe because her husband is only visiting and not staying in Vietnam with her and her daughter. I would be devastated if my husband ever have to work so far away like that......
+LadyHmong or may be because there's a random guy with a big camera in the room.
Kyle Le Dot Net and that too lol but I can't imagine what they both have to go through.
It's duong's documentary, not her. Kyle didn't interview her or ask her directly. Most Vnese females are introvert and don't socialize much. Beside I"m sure his wife isn't well educated and not a good speaker/communicate either.
I am sad watching this. Life shouldn't be just about surviving and making money. I hope he finds happiness. It seems he is not in love with his wife and being with her is not important.
I agree with Mr. Duong..." Dễ thở ở Senegal hơn là Việt Nam" ..
Việt Nam quá ngột ngạt vì dân chúng đông đúc, kẹt xe, ùn ứ giao thông, rác bỏ trước nhà, ngoài đường phố, bải biển , đi ra đường là thấy rác. Thua cả Lào và Campuchia về mọi mặt . Senegal tương lai trong 5,10 năm sẽ bỏ xa Việt Nam
Việt Nam cũng có những cái hạng nhất thế giới về những mặt như tửu lượng rượu beer, nhiều tượng đài nghìn tỷ , con nít mới vừa sanh ra được 3 ngày là phải đóng 2 triệu đồng thuế thân và nhiều cái nhất nửa kể ra tràn giang đại hải...v...v...
Miss Julie Dang no need to debate with those people head in the sand, dans l'enceinte de la ville HCM, les pays qui font partie de la Vietnam...
Samdra T you are too naive in your logic .
Sorry I really don't understand!!!
What is wrong with my logic eh? Mr. / Mrs K Dao
Ếch
his depression and loneliness will vanish if he had his daughter and wife in Senegal with him.
his wife is quite pretty. I have to call her as auntie though haha.
In senegal he is popular he is the man he probably has a little side piece over there hidden away he makes money because he making something unique to people in Senegal and he in Saigon he just another guy nobody checking for him like that
There are a lot of Chinese in Africa. China has been trading with Africa for 2 decades. He needs to move to China Town in Senegal to have a sense of belongings.
But business won't be as good for him in Chinatown would it? He must be a loner to not have as many contacts with people from his country as it appears to be in this video.
Nhan Dam he is not from China, Vietnam and China are not the same, that is like telling a white American to go and live where Germans are, just because they both have European ancestry
The Vietnamese don't really care for the Chinese. I know some who told me that. And I've seen at least one video on here where Vietnamese been asked who would they prefer and America (a former enemy) ranked higher than China.
at least he would be "safer" in Chinatown.
what a story !! ı guess after all those survival fights in Senegal he get used to live there. Must be tough for his family though!!
such a interesting story that you shared with us Kyle!! keep doing it :)
I've been waiting for this!
