Since the end of the Vietnam war in 1975, the Vietnamese community in Houston has grown from a few hundred people to well over 100,000, fed partly by new immigrants, but also by transplants from larger Vietnamese communities in California. They come seeking jobs and a lower cost of living. As VOA’s Greg Flakus reports from Houston, the Vietnamese have thrived in Houston by keeping their bonds of language and culture strong.
