Most Vietnamese believe that America is the ideal place to live and work. Most of them dream to come America because they can earn more money have a better life, and their children will have the best education. However, the real America life does not fit what they expected, so they begin considering returning home. There are two main reasons why they go back their home country.
One of reasons is culture shock. In fact, most of Vietnamese, who first came America, feel excited in the first weeks. They want to discover new places, make foreign friends and learn the new culture. However, after one or two months, they begin feeling bored, disappointed and homesick. They feel alone among their communities because they cannot communicate with Americans. Also, they face many difficulties in America.

bills, payments and insurance fees. To them, America life involves earning and paying bills. For example, my uncle, who return to Vietnam for his current business, is also an immigrant. To him, his life in America is not easy; he has to work twelve hours a day and some weekends while he still manages a business in Vietnam. In spite of difficulties, he decide to return Vietnam where he felt more satisfied and happier than America.
Another reason is immigrants who earn a degree and professional skill return Vietnam to work and live.
Nowadays, the Vietnamese government is opening many jobs that need high professional skills and great scientific progress. Therefore, many Vietnamese immigrants return Vietnam to work. Moreover, the Vietnamese government gives them many benefits, such as free house, life insurance and high income to keep them working in Vietnam. In addition, the life in Vietnam is cheaper and easier than America. For example, Vietnamese experts, who has a degree and higher education in America, might earn a good income, but they also pay a lot of money for their cost of living. In contrast, if they would work in Vietnam, they might earn a higher income, have a free house rents provided by government, and have a low cost of living. To them, their life in Vietnam is easier than America, and they could save more money than
America.
Nowadays, many Vietnamese still have dreams of coming to America. In contrast, others begin to return the Vietnam due to culture shock and economic reason. To them, American life is very difficult and expensive. Returning the Vietnam is perhaps the right decision. They would feel better, and they could relax their life in Vietnam. However, they might lose many benefits, such as high quality education, better health care and freedom which they cannot have in their own country.
