We are presently in NC to get her an immigration visa(green card). We came to NC because she spoke no English and it seemed likely there would be a sizeable Vietnamese population near a Marine base(Camp Lejeune)
In the four years we have lived in the good old USA we have built two nail salons. Never would I have dreamed that I would end up a coffee and finger nail man
