Goju_boi, I totally agree. I will open my own dojang someday. I'm American. But I know I have lots to teach, even at my rank.

For example when I was in High School my French teacher was Vietnamese.Well a couple of the parents had a problem with her becuase she didn't look like your average French woman,but she was actually a good teacher.She was dedicated to her job and did it well for the most part.

But of course the Vietnamese were ruled by the French for a long time. They should be excellent speakers.

Well I really don't know Vietnamese history.Anyways can you tell me why it was called that?

[tufrthanu]

The french occupied the peninsula from about the 1850's til WW2 when the Japanese took control. Then after WW2 the French tried to reestablish control but were eventually thrown out by Vietnamese forces.

oh ok,now I get the French part,but why was it called IndoChina?

[tufrthanu]

Because Mexico was already taken?
