- From reading the description of the book, my parents can somewhat relate to Mai's life in the United States since my parents are also immigrants from Vietnam.
- Mai's mother's name is Thanh and my Vietnamese name is Thanh too.
- I have been to Saigon (I believe now it is called Ho Chi Minh City) before and it's the largest city in Vietnam; it's very crowded there.
- The first page use lots of descriptive words such as warm, wet, rose, solemn, etc.
- So far this book to me is very interesting due to the fact that I am Vietnamese and also because Mai's life is very similar to how my parents' life was like back when they immigrated to the U.S.
- Is Golden Hordes a Mongolian Army?
- Where is Peking located?
- What does "Indochinese" mean?
- How old is Mai and Bobbie?
