00:00 [The Legend of Sing]
00:08 When you took him to your house, how did your family react?
00:12 They were a bit surprised.
00:14 I took a foreigner to my house, they were a bit surprised.
00:19 When you first came to my house, did you feel nervous?
00:24 More nerve-wracking because I didn't know what I was supposed to do, what I was supposed to say, if I was supposed to bring something, all these different things.
00:33 How do you feel about Vietnamese culture? Are there any shocking stories?
00:37 So when we went to Nam Dinh for her dad's...
00:44 My dad passed away more than 10 years ago.
00:47 After watching the show, my family decided to disband my dad after 10 years.
00:51 The disbandment ritual was mandatory.
00:54 When you go to the grave, you have to do it at night.
00:57 It was a shocking event for Jeremy because it was the first time he saw a human bone.
01:03 To be able to go up from the grave, to be able to see all the bones flying in front of his eyes.
01:10 And there's an interesting thing, that disbandment ritual was held on Halloween.
01:15 Yes, Halloween on October 31st. So we often joke that it was the most Halloween event that anyone could experience.
01:25 It was a disbandment ritual to see the human bones in front of you, not in the grave.
01:31 Hello everyone, welcome back to "Why do you come to Vietnam?"
01:40 I'm Duong Phuc.
01:41 Can you guess where I am? A small alley in Hanoi, Dalat or Ho Chi Minh City.
01:49 This is a small alley in Ho Chi Minh City.
01:53 And this is where a couple of Vietnamese-American couple lives.
01:58 Let's find out the interesting stories about this young couple.
02:08 Phuc has been here for a long time, where Mr. Jeremy Long and Mr. Thang Sinh Soc live.
02:13 Hello everyone, I'm Phuc. Nice to meet you.
02:21 Hello, come in.
02:23 Thank you.
02:25 Hello.
02:27 I forgot.
02:30 Come in.
02:32 You have a lot of pets.
02:34 Yes, 4 dogs, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
02:38 You set up this space by yourself?
02:40 Yes, the owner has basic things.
02:44 We bring decorations, pictures, and we buy them during the trip.
02:49 You have a lot of talents.
02:51 This is yours?
02:53 Mostly yours.
02:54 We only shop online, but you set up.
02:58 And these are your pets?
03:00 These are my pets, and he adopts them.
03:06 He adopts them when they are 12 years old.
03:09 So you have a common interest to raise pets.
03:13 Yes, we share a lot of common interests.
03:17 Come here.
03:19 We will talk more here.
03:22 Please sit down.
03:24 Jeremy Long and his Vietnamese love started 7 years ago after a change in his life.
03:28 Thanks to that, Jeremy met Tuyet Anh, who is now his wife.
03:33 Their 7 years of love story has helped Jeremy to overcome many sad moments.
03:38 Besides working in a company, Jeremy is also a member of a foreign band in Vietnam.
03:44 He also shares his love for his wife through those songs.
03:48 To take care of your health, you should watch the video of a doctor.
03:54 Let's watch it.
03:56 I've been searching for a while.
04:14 I've been looking for the one who will make me smile.
04:23 And I thought I found her once or twice.
04:33 Maybe this next time will be the time that I get it right.
04:41 And oh, where do I find
04:49 Oh, just look for peace of mind.
05:10 The way I know my time will come.
05:20 So instead of alone, I'd rather spend it with another one.
05:29 Someone like me, someone who can love and forgive.
05:39 Someone like me who ain't afraid of a little sin.
05:48 And oh, where do I find
05:56 Oh, just look for peace of mind.
06:05 Alright. One more verse.
06:16 Some years later, my search is through.
06:26 Didn't know if I'd manage, but then I managed to find you.
06:35 I wish it happened sooner, but I can't complain.
06:44 Green grass ain't green enough if it don't get a little bit of rain.
06:53 And oh, after all this time,
07:01 You're the one who gives me my peace of mind.
07:11 Alright.
07:14 applause
07:20 music
07:23 What's your name?
07:25 My name is Me Den.
07:28 Tran Duc Me Den.
07:31 How old are you?
07:32 I'm 12.
07:34 I don't know what I look like, because everyone says I look different.
07:37 12 means you two were born at the same time?
07:41 Yes, this one came first.
07:43 I was so lonely at home, so I sent her home.
07:48 I love you so much.
07:50 It's not easy to find a man who lives with you and raises you.
07:54 Are you a cat owner?
07:56 My sister has a tumor in her uterus.
08:01 So she doesn't have a pet.
08:04 So I want to have my own pet.
08:07 We've been planning to adopt a cat for a long time.
08:12 But we were busy with work, so we didn't dare to adopt a small cat.
08:18 We were afraid of lonely cats.
08:20 So we saw two cats on the group chat.
08:25 We decided to adopt a cat and a dog.
08:27 We adopted these two when they were 12.
08:30 I really like animals.
08:32 These two actually love you more than me.
08:35 Although I've been raising them for over 17 years.
08:37 But when I visit them at home, they don't come out.
08:43 They're tired and sleepy.
08:44 But when you come home, they run out.
08:46 They're very friendly to you.
08:48 When you raise a cat like this, you have to take care of them and give them love.
08:53 Before we talk about your love story,
08:55 I want to know why you came to Vietnam.
08:58 When I was 22, my mom was diagnosed with cancer.
09:04 One year after, my mom passed away.
09:08 After that, I wanted to live abroad.
09:14 I watched TV shows with Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam.
09:21 And I thought Vietnam was fascinating.
09:27 So then I came here.
09:31 Before you came to Vietnam, did you know anything about Vietnam?
09:34 I knew about Vietnamese food.
09:38 You heard about Vietnamese food like Pho, right?
09:42 Yes.
09:43 Did you enjoy Pho in the US?
09:47 No.
09:48 I didn't eat Vietnamese food in the US.
09:55 I ate Vietnamese food in Amsterdam.
10:01 You knew Vietnam started with Vietnamese food.
10:04 What was your first impression when you came to Vietnam?
10:08 When I walked out of the airport, it was very hot.
10:13 It was very crazy and loud.
10:17 Very loud but very interesting.
10:20 And people were very nice.
10:22 Was it in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City?
10:26 Ho Chi Minh.
10:27 Was it difficult to get around Ho Chi Minh City?
10:32 Yes, it was difficult to get around the city.
10:38 Walking was difficult.
10:41 When I got here, there was no Grab, Gojek, or Bay.
10:46 Only Uber.
10:47 There weren't many Uber bikes so I had to use taxis a lot.
10:52 I was scared of Saigon drivers.
10:55 But then one night after some dinh nhau, I got on a motorbike.
11:04 After that, I started using motorbikes more.
11:07 It became easier to get from place to place.
11:10 It's interesting to travel around Vietnam.
11:17 It's a great experience for everyone.
11:20 Did you go to any famous places in Vietnam?
11:24 I went to Nha Trang and Mo Ne.
11:32 Nha Trang and Mo Ne are the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam.
11:37 What are the differences between those two?
11:40 That's a hard question.
11:42 It's cheaper for one.
11:47 You can eat seafood that's a lot cheaper.
11:51 I feel like it might even be fresher.
11:54 You can just go on the beach and find people selling seafood and then eat.
11:59 The scenery is very different.
12:01 The mountains and the water all look very different from the beaches where I come from.
12:07 The sea is more beautiful in the US.
12:09 At least it's more beautiful in the area where he lives.
12:11 In his hometown, the seafood is cheaper and fresher.
12:15 You can easily buy seafood from the seafood vendors at the beach.
12:19 You can just go to the beach and buy seafood.
12:21 What did you do when you came to Vietnam?
12:24 I was a teacher in the US.
12:34 So when you were in the US, you were still a teacher or you came here to study?
12:38 Only when I came to Vietnam.
12:41 He just graduated from the US.
12:44 You should mention the job that you did in America before you came here.
12:48 Before I came to Vietnam, I was a copywriter for a marketing agency.
12:54 A person who has a job in Ho Chi Minh City will have a lot of difficulties, including being an international tourist.
13:00 How easy and difficult was your job at that time?
13:04 I think it's difficult for foreigners to get jobs that are the same as in their home country.
13:10 But to teach English if you are from America, Canada, Australia, it's not so difficult.
13:17 But you have to take some courses and you have to learn how to teach before you can find a job.
13:26 Watch the event at 7pm on November 25, 2023 on the MCV Network.
13:38 The teacher asked for not only the specialization, but also the ability to train, communicate and guide the students.
13:47 She asked for a lot of other skills besides my specialization.
13:50 Now I will start to find out about your story.
13:54 How long have you been in Vietnam?
13:58 How long have you been here before we met?
14:03 4 months.
14:10 We met in April.
14:16 We met in April for the first time in 4 months.
14:22 What was your first impression of each other?
14:25 On the app or offline?
14:26 On the app first.
14:27 Ok, so first impression of us on the app.
14:32 I thought you were pretty.
14:38 Intelligent, funny and we shared a lot of similar interests.
14:50 My impression of him is the same as him.
14:53 I think he is interesting.
14:55 Especially, I remember the first sentence he said to me.
14:59 He was a copywriter, I was a copywriter too.
15:02 I thought he was also a good guy.
15:04 We talked a lot and we shared the same hobby.
15:10 We read manga, Japanese comics and watched anime.
15:13 At that time, I thought that only Asians watched manga and anime.
15:20 But I didn't expect that there was a foreigner who watched it in the West.
15:24 The first time we met, did you feel any difference or similar?
15:30 Pretty much the same thing.
15:31 He thought the same thing.
15:33 I thought you were pretty and intelligent.
15:35 I thought you were tall.
15:37 Because I only saw your face on the app.
15:40 I didn't see your height.
15:42 I thought you were tall.
15:44 Let's stop the show here.
15:46 I want to ask for the app.
15:47 We met in Ho Chi Minh City.
15:51 How long did you decide to get married?
15:54 How long have we been together before we decided to get married?
15:59 4 years.
16:01 We got married in July.
16:05 We've been dating for 3-4 years.
16:10 Almost 7 years.
16:12 He came here 7 years ago.
16:14 We got married more than a year.
16:18 We got married right after the pandemic.
16:21 So we wanted to visit our hometown first.
16:25 Before we held the wedding.
16:27 How did your family react when you took him home?
16:31 My mother is easy-going.
16:33 I was a little surprised.
16:35 I took a tall foreigner home.
16:40 I don't have many boyfriends.
16:44 I only have a few.
16:46 How many?
16:48 My mother is easy-going.
16:54 She didn't react much.
16:56 I only have a mother and a son.
16:58 My father passed away.
17:00 When you first met your mother, were you nervous?
17:05 I was very nervous.
17:07 I would feel nervous anyway if it were in America.
17:11 But being in a different culture makes it even more nerve-wracking.
17:17 Because I didn't know what I was supposed to do, what I was supposed to say.
17:21 If I was supposed to bring something.
17:23 All these different things, I didn't know.
17:26 So I was very nervous.
17:27 But it turned out great.
17:29 Let me ask you.
17:31 The first time you met your family in person.
17:36 Were you nervous or did you have a plan?
17:41 I was very nervous.
17:43 It was a long way from my house.
17:47 It took us 29 hours to get there.
17:50 We had to fly for 29 hours to get home.
17:53 I remember the first time we got home was at night.
17:57 It was around 11 or 12.
18:00 It was very tiring and stressful.
18:02 But everyone was very friendly.
18:05 They hugged me right away.
18:07 I met my father-in-law, my sister, my husband and my brother-in-law.
18:11 The first time you came home.
18:13 Do you have any memories or impressions of coming home?
18:16 I think that anytime I meet someone from her family,
18:20 they're very nice and open to me.
18:24 Even though we can't really speak together,
18:27 there's lots of smiling and always a lot of food.
18:30 Always cooking a lot of food, eating a lot of food,
18:32 drinking rice wine.
18:34 So it's always a good time.
18:39 Usually, on special occasions,
18:41 he's always invited to have a drink with us.
18:46 He always invites us to eat Vietnamese food.
18:49 He always has a lot of food and drinks.
18:52 So he's always nice and nice.
18:54 Everyone was very friendly to me,
18:57 even though we can't really communicate.
18:59 Everyone just smiled and drank, but they were very friendly.
19:02 How was your wedding?
19:04 Was there anything special about it?
19:07 What was special about it?
19:10 Yeah, I think what was special is that
19:14 we had the traditional Vietnamese part.
19:17 And then the next day, we had a more Western style.
19:20 We decided to combine both Vietnamese and Western cultures.
19:25 In general, we had a traditional wedding
19:30 the day before,
19:31 and the next day, we had a wedding.
19:33 And in the US style, we had a wedding ceremony
19:36 and a full ceremony.
19:39 And then we had Japanese food instead of...
19:42 And we...
19:43 Because we have a lot of guests from the US,
19:46 we wanted to let them enjoy the atmosphere of a wedding in Vietnam.
19:54 But in the end, we had to choose between the two.
19:56 So we chose Japanese food instead of Western food.
20:01 So it's not really related to anything.
20:05 But because that place met all our requirements
20:09 to make the guests feel comfortable and happy,
20:11 we were very happy that the wedding was successful.
20:14 Everyone liked the food, everyone said the wedding was beautiful and warm.
20:19 And also doing the vows and that whole kind of ceremony.
20:23 In a wedding in Vietnam,
20:25 usually when we have a restaurant,
20:28 there are only MCs leading the ceremony,
20:30 no one is giving the vows.
20:31 So here, we put the vows in the wedding.
20:37 The host, who is also a close friend of Jeremy,
20:39 said that he had a ritual.
20:42 So if we have a wedding in the US,
20:44 he has the right to verify that this wedding is legal.
20:49 But in Vietnam, it is not applicable.
20:51 But he did a great job.
20:54 Everyone was touched.
20:55 A lot of female guests said, "Oh, I'm so touched. I cried so much."
20:59 I'm so touched.
21:01 [The wedding was held in the US]
21:05 [and the host was a very close friend of Jeremy]
21:09 [who was also a close friend of Jeremy]
21:13 [and who was also a close friend of Jeremy]
21:17 [and who was also a close friend of Jeremy]
21:21 [and who was also a close friend of Jeremy]
21:25 [and who was also a close friend of Jeremy]
21:30 [and who was also a close friend of Jeremy]
21:34 A lot of female guests said that.
21:37 It was so touching.
21:39 They were crying.
21:41 I see.
21:42 Ending the solo journey with a very happy wedding,
21:45 I heard that you have a very interesting Vietnamese proposal, right?
21:51 Can you share with us about this story?
21:54 Watch the MMA event at 7 p.m. on November 25, 2023
22:03 on all MCV Network.
22:07 I wanted to ask her mom for her permission for me to marry her.
22:15 I asked her best friend to help me.
22:20 I wrote some Vietnamese,
22:22 but then her friend helped me make it better and more natural.
22:27 Then we practiced together.
22:29 Me and her best friend and her best friend's mom
22:33 all went to her mom's house.
22:35 Then I asked her mom.
22:37 We both cried.
22:39 She said yes, I'm happy to have you join our family
22:44 and marry my daughter.
22:46 It was a really touching experience.
22:49 He wanted to do it the traditional way,
22:52 which is asking for permission from the elders
22:54 before the proposal.
22:55 I didn't know about this story.
22:57 He wrote the Vietnamese proposal in secret.
23:00 He sent it to his best friend,
23:02 who is also my daughter's mother-in-law.
23:05 She helped me make it more natural.
23:08 We practiced together.
23:10 I didn't know about this at all.
23:12 One day, we met.
23:14 I met my best friend's mom,
23:16 who is also my mom's friend.
23:18 We all went to her mom's house.
23:21 I asked her mom for her permission to propose.
23:24 We both cried.
23:26 We were both touched.
23:28 It was a really touching moment for me.
23:31 It was a beautiful memory for my mom and my wife.
23:34 After the proposal, he planned to propose.
23:37 There were only two of us.
23:40 It was a special moment for us.
23:42 It was Christmas,
23:43 so we had to prepare a lot of gifts.
23:45 I was surprised to hear that
23:47 it was just a normal Christmas day.
23:49 He gave you a lot of love,
23:51 as well as a serious love in the marriage.
23:54 Yes, that's right.
23:55 He wrote a serious proposal,
23:58 not just a short sentence.
24:00 He wrote a short letter
24:02 saying that he loves me
24:07 and wishes to be with me forever.
24:09 I think he did it very seriously,
24:11 not just a short sentence.
24:13 He tried his best.
24:14 Through these actions,
24:15 not only you,
24:17 but also your family members
24:19 believe and respect this man more.
24:21 Yes, that's right.
24:22 My mom loves my son-in-law very much.
24:26 [The End]
24:29 When you two got to know each other,
24:31 which places in Vietnam have you been to?
24:34 A lot.
24:35 A lot.
24:36 Yes, a lot.
24:37 We have to count.
24:38 Hanoi.
24:39 Yes.
24:40 Muoi Ne.
24:41 Muoi Ne.
24:42 Phu Yen.
24:43 Phu Yen.
24:44 Da Lat.
24:45 Bao Loc.
24:46 Bao Loc, Da Lat.
24:47 Nam Dinh.
24:48 Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh.
24:49 Can Tho.
24:50 Yes.
24:51 Gia Lai.
24:52 Gia Lai.
24:53 Tien Giang.
24:54 Have you been to any islands?
24:56 No, we haven't been to any islands in Vietnam, right?
25:02 No, not yet.
25:03 Not yet.
25:04 Because we want to go to the islands,
25:06 but we haven't planned the time.
25:08 Because usually, going to the islands
25:09 will cost us more money.
25:12 That's right.
25:13 We haven't planned it yet.
25:14 We go together.
25:15 We go together.
25:16 What do you think about the beauty of Vietnam?
25:19 They're all very different.
25:20 So, like the beach,
25:22 the beaches are different from the mountains,
25:24 different from villages, from cities.
25:27 So, I think something that's interesting about Vietnam
25:30 is like diversity of landscape and places to see.
25:35 But everywhere we've been is beautiful so far.
25:38 Each place has its own beauty.
25:40 You're very lucky to have seen everything,
25:43 from the countryside to the city,
25:45 from the mountains to the sea.
25:46 An American who comes to Vietnam,
25:48 he will definitely be shocked
25:50 and have to doubt the culture here.
25:52 How do you feel about the culture here?
25:55 Are there any stories that shocked you?
25:57 So, when we went to Nam Dinh
26:01 for her dad's reburial ceremony,
26:05 that was a very different thing for me to experience.
26:09 And it's something that I'd never heard of before.
26:12 It felt like something out of a story
26:14 that I would read on the internet or in a magazine.
26:17 But I actually was there experiencing it.
26:20 So, we were in the village, her dad's village,
26:24 and he had been buried after he passed away many years ago.
26:30 He was buried in the rice field with some chemicals, right?
26:34 Or tea or something.
26:36 Then, 10 years later,
26:38 10 years later, they had this ceremony,
26:41 and we went there, and the guys dug up his bones,
26:46 some guys from the village.
26:48 And so, we saw his bones,
26:51 and they were cleaned in front of us.
26:54 And then, we all took those to the next grave site,
27:00 where there's a really beautiful tomb that was set up.
27:04 Kind of shocking for me to see,
27:07 but it made me feel much closer to Ann and her mom and her family.
27:13 It was a coincidence that Jeremy was there at his dad's funeral.
27:18 His dad passed away more than 10 years ago.
27:21 I don't know how the funeral is like now,
27:24 but at the time, his dad was still very popular in Nam Dinh.
27:28 So, after seeing the day,
27:30 we decided to have the funeral after 10 years.
27:34 Jeremy came to visit,
27:36 and his dad's village was quite small,
27:38 not even close to the city.
27:40 So, the funeral was usually held at night.
27:43 You had to check the time, right?
27:45 Yes, we had to check the time.
27:47 And the funeral was a must.
27:49 When we dug the grave, we had to do it at night.
27:52 After the sun was out, and before the sun was up,
27:55 we couldn't let the sun shine in.
27:57 So, it was before 4-5 p.m.
27:59 Yes, that's right.
28:00 My dad had been buried for more than 10 years,
28:03 so when we took his bones,
28:06 his bones were very special.
28:08 They were black, shiny black.
28:10 It was a black color that we had never seen before.
28:13 It was a very shocking event for Jeremy,
28:16 because it was the first time he saw a human bone.
28:19 To be dug up from the grave,
28:21 to be seen,
28:23 to be exposed in front of his eyes,
28:25 all the bones, more than 200 bones in his body,
28:27 were laid in front of him.
28:30 I was very shocked.
28:31 Through that event, I also felt closer to my family.
28:34 I felt like I was a part of my family.
28:36 I was able to participate in such an important event.
28:40 The funeral for the North Vietnamese is very important.
28:44 For me, it was quite shocking.
28:46 But of course, I was there.
28:48 In that ceremony, I was also a part of my family.
28:52 Yes, that's right.
28:53 And there is an interesting thing.
28:54 That funeral was held on Halloween.
28:58 On Halloween, October 31st.
29:00 We often joke that it was the most Halloween event
29:04 that anyone could experience.
29:07 That is, we attended a funeral to see the human bones in front of us,
29:11 not in a coffin or something.
29:14 So, how many years have you been participating in Halloween?
29:16 This is also a Halloween event that impressed you.
29:19 Yes, that's right.
29:20 You guys have been together for 6-7 years before getting married.
29:26 When you get married, is there anything different from your time in the relationship?
29:31 For me, I think the difference is thinking about planning for the future.
29:36 When you're married, it's more like real.
29:39 And you can think long, long term in the future
29:43 compared to just living together and not married.
29:45 I think I love my husband more.
29:49 I feel like, although I only talk about my birthday,
29:55 I feel different.
29:56 I love my husband more every day.
29:58 After hearing your story, I have a belief in some apps.
30:01 Oh my god.
30:02 I keep looking at it but I can't see it.
30:04 He was the first person to match me on the app.
30:08 He was also the first person to text me.
30:10 He texted me back and he was the only person I agreed to meet in real life.
30:14 So, there is only one way to use the app in real life.
30:17 So, you guys are still doing copyright?
30:20 He's an editor for a securities company.
30:24 I'm a journalist for an NGO.
30:29 So, the work is different from the first time.
30:31 Yes, it's different.
30:33 We've been on the same path since we first met.
30:37 Yes.
30:38 Can you cook any Vietnamese dishes?
30:40 You're laughing so hard that I can understand the answer.
30:46 I like to cook braised pork.
30:49 Braised pork is delicious.
30:53 I also like to grill beef.
30:56 I often make fried rice.
30:58 Fried rice.
30:59 Oh my god.
31:00 I thought it was a funny joke.
31:04 But it's a funny joke of victory.
31:06 I can cook many dishes.
31:08 You're like the main chef in the house.
31:10 I mainly make cakes.
31:12 You cook and try to find the right way.
31:15 You two are a perfect match.
31:16 You're like a couple.
31:18 I can cook many dishes like braised pork or grilled beef.
31:23 You can cook Pho.
31:25 Pho is a bit too much.
31:27 So, in the near future,
31:29 will you stay here or move to the US?
31:36 Our future plans.
31:38 Like short term and long term.
31:40 Will you live here or live in the US?
31:46 I don't know.
31:48 We're definitely in Vietnam.
31:51 We've talked about maybe living in another country in the future.
31:56 Either America or somewhere else.
31:58 In the near future, we'll still be in Vietnam.
32:01 We don't know about the long term.
32:04 What's your goal in the near future?
32:07 I want to keep traveling to different places and save money.
32:11 Which are hard to do at the same time.
32:13 We have shared that we have the same passion.
32:17 We love to travel.
32:18 We travel a lot in a year.
32:20 We travel far and near.
32:22 To save money for traveling.
32:24 We have 6 siblings.
32:27 We're quite independent.
32:29 6 siblings.
32:30 2 siblings are at my grandparents' house.
32:32 4 siblings are here.
32:33 How often do you visit your family?
32:36 We go once a year.
32:38 We try to visit them once a year.
32:42 Because my father-in-law is old.
32:44 We want to visit him and his family.
32:46 Thank you for sharing your story.
32:49 Please watch "Why do you come to Vietnam?"
32:52 At 11pm every Friday on MCVMedia.
32:55 Goodbye and see you again.
