I have two Hmong (dont call them Laotians, they dont like that) families at each corner opposite to my house....a few times a year TONS and i mean TONS of cars show up..literally dozens of vehicles come --- you need to understand that its extremely rare to see cars parked on the street for any reason--but i rarely see any visitors there during the year...a young lady at the residence was getting married and this is the celebration.,, I was invited to join but i declined. My bad excuse was i do not speak Hmong. The interesting part, as far as i can tell, the two Hmong families do not visit each other or communicate ..after all they are across the street from each other.
I learned early on for whatever reason they like California and Minnesota....they do not stay in the South or East Coast....oh im sure there are some...i was educated by a Hmong co worker......Dont call me Loatian....im Hmong.....we came from China not Laos...a different tribe from China i guess...however, they are probably all born in Laos. Gets a little confusing....just an FYI
Vang Pao was a major general in the Royal Lao Army, he resided in Fresno and died in Fresno(2011). He was the general that fought the Pathet Lao for the CIA and the USA
i encourage all to go to Wiki and find out more- if you like to
