	AsianWeek: Main Feature: Business Opportunities Draw Viet Kieu Back to Vietnam By Tini Tran/AP
		Resentment and anger among the Viet kieu over their suffering and losses linger as a final legacy from the war.
		Viet kieu business investments totaled $300 million last year, a small but growing part of all foreign direct investment.
		Viet kieu are considered “an integral part of Vietnam,” said Nguyen Phu Binh, vice chairman of the National Committee on Overseas Vietnamese.

	The Viet Kieu Experience
		On top of that, every now and then I find it outraging when the Vietnamese government implements Viet Kieu discriminating policies: the train trip from Saigon to Nha Trang costs 66% more for a Viet Kieu and the hydrofoil trip from Vung Tau to Saigon is almost twice as expensive as for citizens.
		At the same time, because people think that Viet Kieu have an unlimited amount of money to use, we are expected to constantly give away money to people.
		With all these negative aspects of being Viet Kieu, I have learned to hate to be one or to be recognized as such.

		"Vie^.t Kie^`u" in its current use, however, brings to mind a large group of loud, arrogant, spendthrift, flashily-dressed individuals who used to be "one of us," but now deem themselves more important due to their "Viet Kieu" status.
		The joke in this sentence, the amibiguity in the connotation of "Viet kieu", is the crux of the novel.
		Any crimp in Viet Kieu's confidence and ability to return to visit or live in the SRVN works to the disadvantage of VN's population as a whole.

		Indeed, if in the last 3000 years or so it was generally understood that a Vietnamese soul is tied to home and hearth, in the last two decades that old land bound assumption has been subverted by the birth of the Viet Kieu.
