Andrew Lam: "Eat East West" drawn from an ancient poem by British writer Rudyard Kipling said about the relationship between east and west, east is east and west is west, never understand each other. But now I want to play on words, to prove that the east-west not only understand but also love each other anymore.
Andrew Lam: The first book that I wrote that Perfume Dreams to talk about the suffering of the Vietnamese exiles how to become a community in the United States, including the story of my life. But the book "East Eats West," about a culture has formed in the United States and Asia has given expression to their lives and also change cafe menu the culture of the western United States, from food and drink to religion, including martial arts, the children watch cartoons now are from the Japanese past, these things do change American culture.
Andrew Lam: In which I tell stories CaoDai appear in the US, the martial arts of Kung Fu Chinese, Americans not only martial arts film cinema vessel which also showed white Americans fighting in martial, also animation for children, it is now considered the passion of Japanese animation than Disney's America. What about the reference to Vietnam, as noodle dishes now it expanded cafe menu so that US TV station Channel Food Network cooking teaches people; White Americans cafe menu now use the sauce to cook the dish unfamiliar to them. People of Asia come and bring their culture.
Andrew cafe menu Lam: Sure. From small to large, I live in San Francisco. Whether the minority, but actually in San Francisco I do not feel like that, because San Francisco can say is a city of Asia. 34-35% are Asians then. Want to eat it every store as Vietnam, ship stores, salons India. International City, every race, as this is a sub-world. It is said that in San Francisco there are 114 languages spoken. Should this be called cafe menu a city of immigrants.
Around the world there are many cities with immigrants, but especially immigrants here often come from the Asian, the other side of the Pacific, so my friends grew up in White America is they know how to use chopsticks Many people also go to the market cafe menu to buy fish sauce. For them these things not own Asian food but their food anymore. Asian food can not say it is their own because cafe menu this is a world together then.
Andrew Lam: I have questions but could not find the answer to a new writing. Growing up here its eastern half of the west half, home, said Vietnamese, speaking in the American base, so I find that writing is connecting these two extremes. The question who they are from small to large are still chasing me. Sometimes parents say "cowboy eyebrows, eyebrows too American". But when playing with the Americans, they said, "you too exotic." Many are feeling that people do not understand her. So many feel that American society is not the bastard that even individuals see themselves as more hybrid. Since then I wanted to write about my personal, to explore what their view is west, what is winter.
Andrew Lam: Both. I saw many people across the United States cafe menu that they do not accept what America's all. Both of my family elders do not speak American, not hear Americans talk, something the US criticism of all, there is something cafe menu of the Vietnamese cafe menu people are commended both. Conversely, there are those in the younger generation does not have to speak Vietnamese, do not want to say anything to the past and all its history. I found these two extremes are wrong, because both were imprinted in his mind, the subconscious, you have to accept the change and also to remember his roots. Combining both is true, as I think. Both the east and west threads
