You now see many more foreign cultures in Hawaii, because the population is growing. Hawaiii's populated with a lot of Asians, and the population of Vietnamese has increased from 600 to 800 a year. The first Asian settlers to Hawaii were mostly the Koreans, Japanese, Chinese, and Filipinos, and hardly any Vietnamese. But that has changed and you may see many more of the Vietnamese culture. Though Vietnamese has been the latest culture to populate Hawaii they have made many differences with there life. Back when they first came to Hawaii they did not know the harsh treatment that they would encounter, but now and in the future they do not have to suffer.
The Vietnam officials and
Hawaii are trying to make a better future for the
Vietnamese and Hawaii. Hopefully more Vietnamese can come
to Hawaii for a better future for both of our beautiful
countries. They are constantly meeting to make sure that
the Vietnamese people as well as the next generation can
have bright future ahead of them.
Here are Hawaii and
Vietnam officials at a meeting
In the future they are
probably going to keep the traditions such as Tet the
Vietnamese New Year. At this time everyone can come
together and have fun and spend more time with there
children. The Vietnamese also really enjoy the
food.
During the Tet
celebration street sellers sell various
fruits.
The Vietnamese have made many changes in there life and are hopefully going to keep making these dramatic changes throughout there life. And hopefully they will have a bright future ahead of them in Hawaii.
