Download or read book Fuck Miss Saigon written by mekong moe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable book is the first ever written about commercial sex by a Vietnamese prostitute. Mekong Moe was born in South Vietnam in 1972, just as the US was preparing to pull its troops out and leave the communist North to capture Saigon. She married early, had two children, but increasingly despised her foolish husband. In 2009 she got divorced. Desperately short of money, she travelled to Singapore to work in a hairdressing salon. When she got there, however, she soon discovered she had been tricked. To repay her ticket costs, she would have to sell sex to western businessmen. In this fascinating account of her subsequent adventures, Moe describes the life of a mature Asian hooker. She chronicles her exploits as a blatant street-walker around Singapore, a discreet 'hostess' in smart sex clubs in Dubai and a provider of cheap 'tricks' in Shanghai. She has offered elite escort services to senior businessmen staying in the 5-star hotels in Vietnam and abroad. Moe paints a sympathetic picture of her clients. She gives steamy erotic descriptions of sex with her French boyfriend and other favourite customers. She ties her experiences in with the history of prostitution in her country. She explains the importance of sex work for women from the Vietnamese countryside to escape poverty. The book is richly illustrated, and is a 'must read' for anyone interested in prostitution in Asia today. Her spirited sexuality is evident. The reader will learn much about Asian eroticism, sex tourism in Asia and the Middle East, and the sex lives of the Vietnamese. This experienced Asian MILF whore clearly knows how to fuck and suck. Her customers evidently take home fond memories of the special adventures she has to offer any businessman or traveller lucky enough to meet her in the red light districts of the Gulf or the Orient.
Book Synopsis Puro Arte by : Lucy Mae San Pablo Burns
Download or read book Puro Arte written by Lucy Mae San Pablo Burns and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 Outstanding Book Award in Cultural Studies, Association for Asian American Studies Puro Arte explores the emergence of Filipino American theater and performance from the early 20th century to the present. It stresses the Filipino performing body's location as it conjoins colonial histories of the Philippines with U.S. race relations and discourses of globalization. Puro arte, translated from Spanish into English, simply means “pure art.” In Filipino, puro arte however performs a much more ironic function, gesturing rather to the labor of over-acting, histrionics, playfulness, and purely over-the-top dramatics. In this book, puro arte functions as an episteme, a way of approaching the Filipino/a performing body at key moments in U.S.-Philippine imperial relations, from the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, early American plays about the Philippines, Filipino patrons in U.S. taxi dance halls to the phenomenon of Filipino/a actors in Miss Saigon. Using this varied archive, Puro Arte turns to performance as an object of study and as a way of understanding complex historical processes of racialization in relation to empire and colonialism.
Book Synopsis Getting Out of Saigon by : Ralph White
Download or read book Getting Out of Saigon written by Ralph White and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “captivating” (The Washington Post) true story of “courage, resolve, and determination” (Christian Science Monitor), author Ralph White’s successful effort to save nearly the entire staff of the Saigon branch of Chase Manhattan bank and their families before the city fell to the North Vietnamese Army. In April 1975, Ralph White was asked by his boss to transfer from the Bangkok branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank to the Saigon Branch. He was tasked with closing the branch if and when it appeared that Saigon would fall to the North Vietnamese army and ensure the safety of the senior Vietnamese employees. But when he arrived, he realized the situation in Saigon was far more perilous than he had imagined. The senior staff members there urged him to evacuate the entire staff of the branch and their families, which was far more than he was authorized to do. Quickly he realized that no one would be safe when the city fell, and it was no longer a question of whether to evacuate but how. Getting Out of Saigon is an “edge-of-your-seat” (Oprah Daily) story of a city on the eve of destruction and the colorful characters who respond differently to impending doom. It’s a remarkable account of one man’s quest to save innocent lives not because he was ordered but because it was the right thing to do.

During this time, Avian won a Tony Award as the cochoreographer of A Chorus Line and produced the spectacular Tony Award–winning Dreamgirls. For a triumphant third act, Avian choreographed Julie Andrews’s return to the New York stage, devised all of the musical staging for Miss Saigon and Sunset Boulevard, and directed A Chorus Line on Broadway.

Book excerpt: A brand new edition of the smash-hit play, now a wildly popular CBC TV series. Mr. Kim is a first-generation Korean immigrant and the proud owner of Kim’s Convenience, a variety store located in the heart of downtown Toronto’s Regent Park neighbourhood. As the neighbourhood quickly gentrifies, Mr. Kim is offered a generous sum of money to sell — enough to allow him and his wife to finally retire. But Kim’s Convenience is more than just his livelihood — it is his legacy. As Mr. Kim tries desperately, and hilariously, to convince his daughter Janet, a budding photographer, to take over the store, his wife sneaks out to meet their estranged son Jung, who has not seen or spoken to his father in sixteen years and who has now become a father himself. Wholly original, hysterically funny, and deeply moving, Kim’s Convenience tells the story of one Korean family struggling to face the future amidst the bitter memories of their past.
Book Synopsis We Should Never Meet by : Aimee Phan
Download or read book We Should Never Meet written by Aimee Phan and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2005-11-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compelling, moving, and beautifully written, the interlinked stories that make up We Should Never Meet alternate between Saigon before the city's fall in 1975 and present-day "Little Saigon" in Southern California---exploring the reverberations of the Vietnam War in a completely new light. Intersecting the lives of eight characters across three decades and two continents, these stories dramatize the events of Operation Babylift, the U.S.-led evacuation of thousands of Vietnamese orphans to America just weeks before the fall of Saigon. Unwitting reminders of the war, these children were considered bui doi, the dust of life, and faced an uncertain, dangerous existence if left behind in Vietnam. Four of the stories follow the saga of one orphan's journey from the points-of-view of a teenage mother, a duck farmer and a Catholic nun from the Mekong Delta, a social worker in Saigon, and a volunteer doctor from America. The other four take place twenty years later and chronicle the lives of four Vietnamese orphans now living in America: Kim, an embittered Amerasian searching for her unknown mother; Vinh, her gang member ex-boyfriend who preys on Vietnamese families; Mai, an ambitious orphan who faces her emancipation from the American foster-care system; and Huan, an Amerasian adopted by a white family, who returns to Vietnam with his adoptive mother. We Should Never Meet is one of those rare books that truly takes an original look at the human condition---and marks the exciting debut of a major new writer for our time.

Book Synopsis Escape from Saigon by : Andrea Warren
Download or read book Escape from Saigon written by Andrea Warren and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable true story of an orphan caught in the midst of war Over a million South Vietnamese children were orphaned by the Vietnam War. This affecting true account tells the story of Long, who, like more than 40,000 other orphans, is Amerasian -- a mixed-race child -- with little future in Vietnam. Escape from Saigon allows readers to experience Long's struggle to survive in war-torn Vietnam, his dramatic escape to America as part of "Operation Babylift" during the last chaotic days before the fall of Saigon, and his life in the United States as "Matt," part of a loving Ohio family. Finally, as a young doctor, he journeys back to Vietnam, ready to reconcile his Vietnamese past with his American present. As the thirtieth anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War approaches, this compelling account provides a fascinating introduction to the war and the plight of children caught in the middle of it.
