\nTo be honest, the thing I find hardest to get used to in the US is breakfast.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\n\u0110\u1ed3 \u0103n s\u00e1ng h\u1ea3?<\/span>
\nBreakfast?

Minh<\/td>\nTh\u1ef1c ra kh\u00f4ng h\u1eb3n l\u00e0 kh\u00f4ng h\u1ee3p.<\/span>
\nActually, it’s not that it doesn’t suit me.

\nIn Vietnam, people often eat breakfast at restaurants.

\nVietnamese breakfast is very varied, such as Pho, beef noodle soup, thick noodle soup, Banh Mi, sticky rice, etc.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\n\u0110\u00fang r\u1ed3i.<\/span>
\nThat’s right.

\nI have traveled to Vietnam before. Indeed, Vietnamese breakfast is very rich.

\nBecause there were so many dishes, I hesitated every day about what to eat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nYes. But since I came to the US, I don’t know what to eat every morning.
\nV\u00e0 nh\u1eefng ng\u01b0\u1eddi s\u1ed1ng m\u1ed9t m\u00ecnh nh\u01b0 m\u00ecnh th\u01b0\u1eddng \u0103n b\u00e1nh m\u00ec sandwich, ng\u0169 c\u1ed1c.<\/span>
\nAnd people living alone like me often eat sandwiches or cereal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\nQu\u1ea3 th\u1eadt, so v\u1edbi Vi\u1ec7t Nam th\u00ec \u0111\u1ed3 \u0103n s\u00e1ng c\u1ee7a M\u1ef9 \u0111\u01a1n gi\u1ea3n v\u00e0 \u00edt lo\u1ea1i h\u01a1n nh\u1ec9.<\/span>
\nIndeed, compared to Vietnam, American breakfast is simpler and has less variety.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Minh<\/td>\nBu\u1ed5i s\u00e1ng John th\u01b0\u1eddng \u0103n g\u00ec?<\/span>
\nWhat do you usually eat in the morning, John?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Mr. John<\/td>\nM\u00ecnh h\u1ea3? M\u00ecnh th\u01b0\u1eddng th\u1ee9c d\u1eady mu\u1ed9n n\u00ean h\u00f4m n\u00e0o c\u0169ng \u0103n v\u1ed9i b\u00e1nh m\u00ec sandwich r\u1ed3i \u0111i l\u00e0m.<\/span>
\nMe? I usually wake up late so I hurriedly eat a sandwich and go to work.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Mr. John<\/td>\nC\u1ed1 l\u00ean nh\u00e9.<\/span>
\nHang in there.
