    Hello Andrew. I'm Hmong, and I just want to say thank you for showing such a high level of respect for my people. I want to point out to the audience that what miss Mee said at the end when you asked her what she will do with extra money, the translation is correct. BUT the way miss Mee said it is a phrase our hmong elder often says it. Its almost like looking down on herself :*(. In literal translation, she said, "peb hmoob ruam ruam tsis paub khwv nyaj ne." Meaning, "we hmongs are stupid and don't know how to make money." BUT before anyone comes at me or her, please understand that for us, this is to actually show how humble the elders are--at the same time though, this phrase is to carry our sadness of not having an established country, our sad history of being war torn and separated. In simple term, this is a most humble and sad way to say, "we don't have anything...but we will be okay."
    Thank you!

      Your translation like many Hmong-to-English translators, by Western-born and educated Hmong, is always too literal thus mostly wrong to a fault. True, Hmong are very humble. True, Hmong do not have a historically documented country of and all their own. That said, Hmong definitely do not " looking down " on themselves or am stupid. If this were true, they would have been completely suppressed, overruled, and exterminated by their foreign invaders and conquerors throughout their existence and history. The fact that you are here in the West is testament of not only their bravery, resilience, and survivalist ingenuity but more so their pride (not looking down) to maintain their culture, heritage, and way of life (identity), plus their intellect and perseverance -- favoring democracy over communism.
      When any Hmong, especially the elders or in this case Miss Mee, says 'ruam' in this context they are not implying or claiming to be stupid. They are in fact talking about education, having the opportunity to learn and be able to read, write, and speak especially a foreign language, to better one's outlook and life in a global more modernized world. They see the world changing around them and know full well that without an education they are merely peasants like their ancestors. And that without an education it is difficult to make a living to earn income or make money. Most if not all Hmong-to-English translators only know the basic literal meaning of spoken Hmong words not their contextual or applied meanings especially in complete phrases like the one so wrongfully translated and just as wrongfully explained by Moon Artist. True, most if not all of you are merely Hmong offsprings thus the lack of insight and intimate knowledge of the language, words, vocabulary, and applied meanings. Ua tsaug.

    In high school I had a friend by the name Liz. That was her English name. She told me her actual Hmong name but unfortunately I forget. Anyways... I can remember for some event we had at school she would wear her traditional Hmong dress. It was beautiful. She would also often tell stories about the traditional foods they would eat especially around certain Hmong holidays. It was so fascinating to me!

      Listen carefully. 1 clove of garlic a far, chewed raw, washed down with water. Do not eat any dairy or bread -zero- quinoa as your only grains for 2 weeks. Then from there you can try stuff out. IBS runs in my family and I had it as a kid. After you do this you have to go on an elimination diet. I can't eat certain foods so I just order things without those ingredients. Whey, Casein, and Milk is a no, vinegars, sugars nope for me. I've been good for years after that, but if you never figure out the foods you're screwed. They use garlic in a ton of their dishes because garlic kills everything. It contains allicin which is lab proven to be over 100x more effective than amoxicillin and to kill cancer cells. Garlic can reset your gut flora.

    Thats so interesting that's it started in China but was introduced to Japan through Southeast Asia, when China is so much closer to Japan. Them again, China is pretty big and also there's an almost continuous chain of islands from South East Asia to Japan, making sea along that route very effective

      Most likely similar to that snake cake of not a usual occurrence. But I'm sure as hmong children can relate with their parents giving them dubious medicine with supposed effects. I've had my share of bitter medicine and some actually work while others I only hope I gained some poison tolerance lol.

    Thank you for doing this! I am a Hmong American and so very little people know about us. I kid you not! I’ve had people ask me so many times, “What is Hmong?” This is lovely what you’re doing. Not just for the Hmong community but ALL communities you’ve visited. Watching you travel around the world and speak about the food (which many people can connect through) and sometimes brief histories is so amazing. Thank you.

Even when I first came to the U.S., the ghettos were a thousand times better than it was when I was in Laos. In Laos, we only ate when we had food, which wasn't everyday. Water needed to be boiled before we can drink it. Restrooms were basically huge trough where it's best to be at the top as everything flows downhill. Taking a shower meant walking down to the river.
