Very nice! My son’s best friend is Vietnamese (parents and grandma are recent immigrants). The boys are 3rd graders at our little Catholic school, even though his family are Buddhist. They are wonderful people and spoil my son rotten most weekends with trips to see movies and Chuck E Cheese. Their son is an only child so they treat our son like he’s theirs. It’s cute seeing the boys assert that they’re really “brothers” (my son is blonde, lol). I’m hoping that someday when they’re older they might take him to Vietnam with them for a visit.
Take him there yourself when he is ten. You will love it. That is old enough for him to notice and enjoy the differences. Cut his school for a month in January and go.If you can arrange to go with the friends that would be exceptional, perhaps, if you can, pay for the friends to go. They have all the family connections there to make it easy and very pleasant.
