I am taping the series and last night watched the first two episodes which filled me in on Viet Nam's history - about which I knew little. When I visited there I noted many rubber tree plantations which IMHO was what the French were doing there. Michelin!

Many Vietnamese settled in the city of Westminster, Orange County. These days some of the finest MDs in The OC are Vietnamese.
