Going to America

Once Meng, his wife Eang and Loung were in Thailand, they went into hiding for a few weeks, since they were there illegally. Meng did some work to earn a little extra money for the trip, even though they were still cutting it pretty slim. They board the plane in Bangkok, Thailand for Vermont in America. After that she would not return to Cambodia for many years. While in America Meng and Eang worked long hours, to make ends meet and to send money to family in Cambodia. Loung went to school and learned English she tried as hard as she could to Americanize herself, she wore make-up and other things that girls in Cambodia should not wear. When Meng finally does get enough money saved up the United States had reduced the number of immigrants they let into the country so his immigration application was rejected. He worked harder though, and eventually was able to get Kim and his family into the U.S. after 17 years of being in America, rarely talking to family back home, and never going for one visit to Cambodia, Loung decides to return, occasionally she still has nightmares but her reunification with her family has helped her, she is doing great and i wish her well
