IIn this podcast, I interviewed a family friend who has spent the last fifteen years in the USA after leaving his home country of Vietnam. The main themes present within this podcast type interview recording are the ideas of transculturation, adaptation to a new country and multiple new environments, changes and mixing of cultures, and the community building that can occur in ethnic communities.I used the texts and book that we read during our quarter of classes to adapt my questions and get answers that really relate to the theme of borders and migrate as well as how these main class themes relate back to the experience of the subject of my interview. The subject  of my interview, is a father and husband who emigrated to the United States in 2001 after spending more than a decade attempting to flee the country and escape the strict rule of a recently converted Communist nation with very little to no economic opportunity or chance for advancement and decent quality of life.
