- After the Vietnam War ended in 1975, many Vietnamese from the south fled to the US escaping political persecution and seeking better economic possibilities. The US government initially tried to disperse the Vietnamese all over the US, but the most Vietnamese eventually found their way to Texas and California. Here in California, there are 2 main Vietnamese communities, one in San Jose, which we've already visited, and the other one in Westminster. Roughly 12-13 years ago I was actually here, and even though I wasn't too big of a Vietnamtown enthusiast then, it was unique enough for me to remember. Since we're here in LA, and now I'm making videos about all these Asian towns, let's go visit Westminster's Little Saigon!
Also, can someone please educate me on why Vietnamese people are so obsessed with jewelries?!?!!?

My family lived in Westminster from 1959 to 1967 so we were there before the influx of refugees from
Vietnam. Most of the buildings and dwellings shown in this video did not exist when I lived in Westminster.
Thank you for telling that part did not know most of the stuff weren’t there because when I first came to California as refugee I was just a newborn so ya.
Alot of history i watched it build from dirt to now and still live here since 79' Westminster and brookhurst
I haven’t been there for a very long time. My experience with So Cal little Saigon is that the people are not very social and the shops close very early, we would retreat to China Town after dark. Things look different but the buildings are the same, it’s true there are more Vietnamese there than Bay Area. We use to book our hotel room near there or China Town so we have a quick retreat after dark.
Unfortunately I don't speak Vietnamese so I can't infiltrate the aunties and uncles lol, but yeah we met a very welcoming Vietnamese-Chinese 越南華僑 (what's the proper phrase in English anyways?) at the Chinatown Temple
@@jacks_off_to customs are the same in Vietnamese, uncles and aunties if they are older.
@@jacks_off_to I believe they are called Hoa.
Obsession with jewelry? Americans have a saying: "Diamonds are a girl's best friend." Another reason is shopping malls are basically designed for women. Let me know how many mens stores you find in shopping malls. You can probably count them on one hand! This is also the reason you usually have to walk through the women's section first before you find the men's departments in the back or on the second floor! Women love fashion. I remember my ex-wife's shoes took up 90% of our shoe rack. My 3 or 4 pairs were relegated to the bottom, of course. 😂 Thanks for posting this video. I liked your explanations of the Buddha statues and other comments. I didn't even know there was a Little Saigon, so really appreciated the tour!
Thank you 🙏
Your friend "crashed" his car here? Was it a green eclipse? Is your friend Brian O Conner?
Baby I been there since 2003to2005 I miss it very much.
So is this Little Saigon a chinese viet hub?
Jack what do you do for a living? If you don’t mind me asking. Btw your channel inspired me to do similar videos on my channel about my culture.
Haven’t started yet, gotta buy a better camera lol
I work for the airport (actual airport and not the airlines), my department handles commercial ground transportation permits
@@Mudvillereacts you can use a phone to vlog too!! I'm very curious about different cultures, can't wait to see your work!! (I'm one of those people who spend hours watching people vlogging in remote/lesser known areas)
@@jacks_off_to dope! When I first came across your channel I binge watched most of your videos. I love learning about other cultures as well
@@Mudvillereacts thanks for the support!!
At least they know what country there in.
Another great chinatown video. I going visit these other ones, been to 3 so far you listed. Plus taking a class in Confucius.
Address please ?
Are you originally from San Diego?
No I just lived there for 4 years lol
你好
你好!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*little Ho Chi-Mihn
We don't speak of that bastard here
Better than sex!
Is it really!?!?1 hahahaha
If this is a Viet town, then why are the signages in Chinese? Its the same with Houston. I dont get it.
How can you be so sure it’s Chinese? Hanja, Kanji, and to a lesser extent it could be Nôm exists. Also, this is like asking why are there old English and Germanic signs in the US. Kinda ignorant.
@@gambitacio who says there are Germanic signs in US?
@@MbisonBalrog It’s a stylistic concept. But hey, guess you haven’t traveled around much or at all.
@@gambitacio Have you ever had anything useful to add?
To probably appeal to other Asians (especially Chinese) and Vietnamese language is closely related to Mandarin.

Yo it’s their culture and heritage. They probably think your god is false.
