Boat People

This book is not meant to demean degrade deride or any other de you can imagine. Instead its meant to elicit a smile or maybe even a laugh. From time to time its good to lighten up even about something as serious as the immigrants who have chosen America as their new country. Perhaps if we can find humor in their attempts to use American expressions (idioms) we can become more light-hearted about the challenges they face in the process of adapting to a new language and customs in their chosen country. Of course this book is not intended to generalize about the totality of American immigrants but only to the people Ive presented here.
