#5 is my buddy Loi. He is about 70 now. He truly knew starvation.
He is my gf's friend. He escaped 5 times from Vietnam on boats and finally made it out on the 6th attempt before he got out. I don't know all the details.
He eats chicken wings to 4 and 5.
If I eat to a 3, my GF ( who also has known starvation in Saigon( or at least not getting enough to eat.) will scold me and finish it many of the times.
She was 5'5" and 90 Lbs on arrival to Minnesota about 1989-1990. All 5 of these sisters, Average height about 5'3" arrived to "Merica" from 85-95 lbs.
From the Fall of Saigon in 1975 to Their freedom flight in late 1989, their brother who was evacuated along with his mothers Brother ( a S. Vietnamese officer of high enough rank to spend the rest of his life in a "re-education Camp")
were flown to the Philippines and then to Hawaii, he ended up being sponsored somehow in Minnesota, graduated college, saved and saved to get the money and the means to get them out. Long story but he got the whole family out.
Much of the that has eased up for them now, but they hate when I throw food away.
And they save too much junk for "just in case".
But So do I.
Houston we have a storage problem.
