Thank you for the video. Like many Hmong, we all share similar family stories and history. After the fall of Laos, my father made the long and dangerous trip to Thailand on foot, swimming across the Mekong River into freedom. He had to leave his family behind. After 15 years in the US, he was able to sponsor his mother, brother and sister. Sadly his father passed away in the mid 80s, so I never got to know my grandfather. My grandmother passed away about a year ago but at least she was able to live the last 25+ years with family. Anyway, we the current generation of Hmong must continue sharing our family stories and history. We are here today because of the sacrifices made by those before us.

Looks like you got a good experience from all of this. I'm glad. Most people whom goes overseas without a good guide usually ends up bumping into unwanted behavior or end up being lucky enough not to experience anything crazy. The old generation of Hmong tourist especially the bad ones are slowly weeding out. OGs use to go over there and create a bad name for us hmong tourist and those overseas would get use to categorizing all hmong tourist the same.......that we only go over there to take advantage of them. But over the years, I think i see the narrative changing. Especially now that some of the younger hmong generation are making a difference overseas. Soon.....hopefully their will be less of a love and hate gap between hmong Americans, hmong french and those overseas
