As a 2nd generation Vietnamese-American, this was very heart warming to watch. I never thought there would be a Vietnamese community in Czech Republic. That's awesome!!
The Vietnamese in the former Eastern block countries are primarily from North Vietnam. In the US, most of the Vietnamese are from South Vietnam. This is why in the US, the Vietnamese towns are called Little Saigon (the capital of free South Vietnam). In Czech, they are called Little Hanoi (the capital of Communist Vietnam)
This episode is emotional yet interesting. It makes some of the 2nd-gen Vietnamese living in Vietnam like us whose parents experienced the labour exchange in Czech during the 80s but decided to go back imagine ourselves in a different present. Truly make ourselves appreciate the Vietnamese root more. Amazing video, thanks for sharing!
Asian-American here and loved this. These are the stories that are never told. Very refreshing to see the individual Czech-Vietnamese stories and the success they’re having with the larger Czech community. I think most 2nd gen Asian immigrant families can empathize with Bao Q’s Mulard metaphor. We need more content like this sharing the localized diaspora of Asian immigrants and their successful integration into their new adoptive countries!
Really cool work I love this. Being Vietnamese American living in Jersey and NYC for part of my life I found this to be really interesting and I can relate to a lot of what many of the in between are feeling. Keep up the good work.
I’m French Vietnamese (with family spread across the Netherlands, Canada, the US) and I had no idea there was such a large Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic 😅
Just go to the border between Czech Republic and Germany. Lots of Vietnamese selling stuff in market stalls. The Vietnamese have been in Czech Republic for a long time and are considered guest workers.
They are communists from the north. They are not like your family from the south, most people are in France, Germany, the USA, and Canada. ,Australia is from the south and those who live in Czech, Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, and Belarus are communist children
Thanks for all the information. Very insightful. I’m a special hybrid-my father is from the north, and my mother from the south. It doesn’t matter to me, but when I read comments online, this divide is still stuck in some people’s minds.
I like to see other vietnamese in different countries. I think we are very adapting and hard workers. But our culture is very important to pass on to our kids.
G'day from a Viet/Aussie Down Under , from bad to good, Viets are all over the world, if I may say am proud of all of you making a good life where ever you may be in the world 🤗
it is ironic that the parents fought for and came from a communist county, moved to another communist country as a "reward", then that communist country woke up and became a democracy, and their kids ended up with a better life.
Are you sure? Communist in china and Vietnam are more well off than people in so called democratic country. If not in monetary terms at least they’re more well off because they don’t get targeted and always feel like outsider and inferior in these countries.
As an Asian American, I was unaware that there were Vietnamese Czechs living in the Czech Republic. I do know that many Vietnamese were sent to West Germany (West Germany vs. East Germany at that time) in the early 1980s because I lived in Germany as an exchange student during that time. They were featured on German television as the new immigrants in the country.. I live in Fremont, California, which is just a 30-minute drive from San Jose, where approximately 180,000 Vietnamese Americans reside.
@@Cxs1a3 growth rate is super high right now but other countries have more opportunities to become wealthy. many Vietnamese Americans make at least 80k a year, esp younger generations where so many work in computer science or healthcare
Cool seing Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic, I think looking for a hot bowl of "Pho" in the winter will be hard to find? Cafe sua da sounds as well.
You can find "pho" on nearly every corner here. I love it, and I especially love the one from my local Vietnamese restaurant in my village of 3000 people...
ACtually, the third gen. Because the first (the adults) came here in 80' often with their kids. The youngest adults have grandparents here. Czechs community does not exists in Viet. And yes, the main reason we can co-exist is because both culture is hardworking and family oriented ;). Easy.
The Vietnamese who went to the former USSR countries were well connected with the communist government. Many destroyed their personal documents and fleeing to the Western Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now they settled in the West but still very well connected to the communist government in Vietnam.
A large Vietnamese American population lives in America-more than 5 million in total. Vietnamese Americans are in the U.S.'s Arm Forces, Medical field, engineering, and architecture! They Fleed Saigon South Vietnam before and after the invasion of the Viet Cong!
@@Lalalalala98872 The new vietnamese internatuinal students are children of the communist leaders---they come to america to learn and go back to VN to steal and suppress the ppl. Truly despicable.
pilipinos never encountered large scale migration or should I say displacement as other South-East Asian countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, because there were no large-scale civil unrest.
Actually filipinos are greedy and among the filipinos they are no unity even as a country they don't have any unity they want their own welfare than helping others
I live in Germany and I often go to Chep and to the SAPA market in Prague for shopping asian food. To be honest, my impression of the Vietnamese community over there is quite different from what is shown here. Not everything is good, fine and happiness. Many don't seem to be well integrated in Czechia and a lot of things going on over there you don't wanna know. The same goes for the Dong Xuan Center in Germany.
*International laws* are very clear on the South China Sea: - parts of it belong to some ASEAN countries, including Vietnam 🇻🇳, - the rest of it is the international water, - no part of it belongs to China🇨🇳 or Taiwan🇹🇼.
What an odd thing to say ? Stop bringing ideologies into everything ? This is not the cold war anymore ??? i am not a communist fan but i love my country and Vietnam history and willing to fight for Vietnam to protect our homeland and i don't hate capitalism, democracy, socialism, politics.etc all i care about is peace, stability and independence for everyone !!! Every country should have the rights to be neutral !!! Even if they're socialist who care ? Is not like im gonna discriminate you because we have different ideologies ? That what freedom and peace all about ??? Vietnam motto is independence- freedom- happiness !!! Let pratice a safe and free ideologies space and do not spread hatred ❤ i hope everyone could be who they are and not shy away from being a democrat or communist because that our human rights !!! Vietnam have a good relationship with Czech Republic Is not Vietnam fault they're what they're because of France colonialism and certain circumstances !!! Vietnam government and the Vietnamese support peace, stability and neutrality that all you need to know... my grandpa is a high ranking Communist soldier in the War, all his friend and his village suffer by American war crime but he still framed all the picture of American president when they visiting Vietnam !!! I live in a traditional south socialist family and they all love peace and are happy when Vietnam befriend with the world i know that for a fact... Im not a communist but I still love my country for who they're and i hope Vietnam will improved for the better i never blamed my country for their ideologies situation because i see with my own eye and ear that Vietnam is willing to try to be better... i love Vietnam and Czech Republic no matter what their ideologies status is aslong as they don't spread hatred... im all for supporting peace, neutrality, stability, and country that willing to improved for the better communist or not 🥰
About 15 years ago I met a Czech chick visiting the US. I'm Vietnamese so she bluntly told me they didn't like Vietnamese people but that she liked me. I didn't judge her for it and ended up sleeping with her that night. Lol.
After 15 years , you still thinking of her ? " A 1 shoot wonder". secondly, vietnamese has bad altitude that why people doesnt like. But Vietnamese altitude very good at dealing with all the crook , racist and rubbish in other country.
Vietnamese community in Czech is the best community outside Vietnam. Ways better than others like the US, Canada or Australia. I’ve been to few of them

I am very impressed by this report and the overall achievement by the VN community there. Was the VN community ever looked down upon by the Czech? I was visiting the Czech Republic on my vacation in the early 200'0s but didn't feel like I was very welcomed at all. Yes, I am asian.
They were. Or rather, made fun of as they often owned stalls with cheap clothes around 2000 and the way they tried to sell anything was kinda hilarious. There were also some extremists attacks on Vietnamese community around 2006(?) I think, but I don't remember hearing about anything similar since then. It's very different to be a tourist (no matter your ethnicity) and to be a local. Tourists are generally not very welcomed, esp. in Prague. The moment you learn a bit of Czech language, you're going to be percieved very differently. Local Vietnamese are, on the other hand, very appreaciated as their grocery stores are often keeping Czech villages and small towns going and they are often the only groceries there. They tend to be hardworking and their children smart and non-problematic.
@@saya-mi Thank you. 2006 is probably when I was there. I got ignored in a store but did manage to travel everywhere in Bohemia. I saw standing behind a neo nazi on the bus once and I overheard people saying stuff about us at a tourist site. But overall we managed to enjoy our trip. I remember seeing flea market stalls full of Vietnamese in just about city and towns that we went. The Vietnamese are extremely industrious and determined.
The original Austroasiatic ancestors (no intermixing with Hoabinhians, Indians, Bangladeshians) of Vietnamese, Santals, Khasis, Cambodians, ... are pure East Asians O1b which is the most common paternal haplogroup of Korean and Japanese peoples.
