"We get two types of customer. From 5.30pm to 11pm, educated people eat Vietnamese food and appreciate it. After midnight it's back to Chinese again. Later on, people - even students - make racist comments. It happens at least once a month. We just have to bite our lips. Even now we are struggling, but because Liverpool is capital of culture in 2008 we are hopeful it will change. If it doesn't work out, I'm thinking about going back to Vietnam. More than half my life has been here, but I still feel something is missing.
Asian culture is really close-knit, and my parents are old. I miss them. We have three children. My two young kids love Vietnam. The education here is much better - we sent them to a private school - but they have to stay locked up in the house after school because it's not safe. In Vietnam they could have a life outside."
