Chuyến đi 200km của họ nhà trai đến nhà gái để dự lễ lại mặt đã gây bất ngờ khi mâm cỗ chỉ có vài món đơn giản. Hai cô của chú rể không giấu được sự xì xào, chê bai trước sự chuẩn bị này của phía gia đình cô dâu.

The caption makes me laugh: "The beauty of the phone call is that you can hang up whenever you like" 😆

No, we don't just hang up. It really depends on who is on the other end of the phone. Sometimes I have to plan an exit strategy the moment I pick up a phone call from a very long-winded person (thx Caller ID!), so I can conclude the conversation asap.

One of the biggest cultural shocks I had in #USA (and I'm still having it sometimes, lol) is how many people, my age, younger or a little older, have 0 computer skills.

Coming from a so-called "3rd world country", my expectation was that this was a very tech savvy country, but nope.
