I Am Moving

*inhales exhales inhales exhales inhales exhales*

I’ve probably been ranting too much about this around SW (lol) but I can’t believe it’s happening right now!!! My sisters and I have been waiting for this moment since 2016 when my parents decided to join EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program with the hope of attaining the green cards for all of us. The business went smoothly although it was rather a long and protracted process. There are no words for me to describe how grateful I am for having such awesome parents and having them give me an opportunity to discover and learn from the world outside of my country through this move to the US. This whole experience is definitely going to be overwhelming as well as challenging for just a small Vietnamese girl like me who has never lived overseas before. 🇻🇳 ~ 🇺🇸

Just in the next few hours, we’ll be at the airport checking in for our first flight to Incheon, South Korea. After that, we’ll continue our journey to Atlanta (this is probably where I’m gonna start screaming lol) then finally Raleigh, North Carolina, our designated destination. I heard it’s going to be chilly there and since it’s springtime in April, pollen spread out by the wind is gonna be a huge difficulty for us as it’s been known to cause people allergies, but other than that, the community of North Carolina is some of the friendliest people in America! I can’t wait to make new friends there and hopefully be able to maintain as many great friendships as I can.

That's so exciting - I can imagine how ready you must be. Deep breaths, and welcome to America! Just be prepared for the long journey. Those long flights are seemingly never ending; but you'll be with your family, so it should be fun.

@frequentlyme Oh I have a thing for long flights lol. And thank you so much for the warm welcome! 🤗 Am I wrong to say that Americans tend to hug a lot?
frequentlyme · 70-79, M
@SW-User Many do, but typically it's females who hug more than males, and in the South, which N.C. is part of, you'll find more hugging than in other states.
SW-User
@frequentlyme Awesome! I love hugging lol

So you've been here two months, now? How do you like it? And how come you speak English so well?
And, btw, welcome! 😊

@SW-User Well, your English is almost perfect. I haven't detected any flaws, and my grandfather was an English teacher, and my mother never let me forget it!

@SW-User I've only been to North Carolina a few times years ago so I don't know what to tell you to expect, but I'm sure it will be nice :)
SW-User
@SW-User That’s alright. I’m into surprises anyway 😄
SW-User
@SW-User it'll be a cool experience for you, I envy you. :)
Congrats and safe travels. NC is an amazing place. I haven’t been to Raleigh but all the other places I’ve been have been wonderful.
