About Me

My photo
Lan
I was born in Vietnam. My mother, several of my 9 siblings, and I were able to reunite with my father in Chicago in 1984. He escaped with the Americans when South Vietnam was overtaken by the communist North Vietnam in 1975. I took college courses while working not only as the hostess and server in my family's restaurant but also as an extra hand in the kitchen. After becoming a naturalized US citizen, I later worked as a server and an assistant manager at California Pizza Kitchen. I relocated to Washington State in 2002. Most of my family now live in California.
