I’m not jocking! And the foam against the rocks was exactly Guinness’s foam. You have to trust me!

That is how it happens sometimes. Do you calculate age by the number of calendar years? Here is an episode about South Korea from a few years back: https://plainenglish.com/lessons/south-korea-age/

My sixth uncle helped bring my aunt and uncle to the US to live and work. But honestly, I was never that close to him. He was quite eccentric and difficult to deal with. I never really liked him.

In my own family, only my uncle (we call him “ông sáu or my sixth uncle) went abroad, but he decided to return to VN when he got older. Now he lives happily with his children and grandchildren in the countryside. it shows me that everyone has different choices.
I am 39 years old now (40 in Vietnamese age). When i was a child, I dreamed of traveling with my family to places like the US and Australia. Life as an adult is not always like those dreams.
