Life in Saigon for US wife of Vietnamese GIA DINH
Judy Linebaugh Han, 25, wife of a Vietnamese man, lives in a two bedroom Saigon apartment near a pig slaughterhouse. She grew up on a dairy farm in Lyons Michigan and moved to Vietnam four years ago after graduating from Michigan State University. She faces isolation, cultural barriers, and constant stares from locals but plans to raise her children as Americans and supports Nixon. Her husband works in an investment bank and she holds two jobs to support the family. She hopes her children study in America or New Zealand and wants them to be self confident and independent.
