Jonathan, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and Texas is big and cool. My brother lived there. I'm from Oregon. I use Ubuntu. I am geek, too. I play basketball. I do web design. I like objectivity over subjectivity. I like classical liberalism, smaller government. I love capitalism but not crony capitalism. I like country music. My mom might have had bipolar. I've experienced sadness. Someday, I may want to live in Texas. I was in Vietnam for 5 years teaching English but I am now near Seattle.
Hi Joey! I'm in Oregon too! I'm in Cornelius, out in the sticks...
I grew up in Forest Grove next to family town Cornelius. I used to go to Hanks and Whiz Bang Videos. I played basketball at Cornelius Elementary. I am near Seattle now with my mom. I grew up in Rose Grove Mobile Home Park Community, the ghetto.
Thanks! Texas is very big and you can find a little bit of almost everything, from natural features to cultures. Houston itself has a very large Vietnamese minority.
Yes, some Vietnamese are in Texas. That is what they told me. And some are in San Francisco. I saw one in Oregon once. And I also saw that there a Vietnamese store in Forest Grove, Oregon.
Houston took in a lot of refugees from South Vietnam. The population is significant enough that there is a "Little Vietnam" area of the city, where the community took up funds to put up street signs in Vietnamese, in addition to the English versions.
I would have to go to Vietnamese Town in Houston someday. It does seem interesting. I liked the Chinatowns I have been to in life as well.
