Travelling |
In the year 1980 when Anh was 2 years old, and the Vietnam war was on, the Do family got invited onto a 9 meter fishing boat that could hold 40 vietnamese only. The boat was used so they could escape from the war. Alongside came the dad, and 2 uncles after fighting for about 2 days. Anh hopped on to the boat, eswell as the rest of the family. Their focus destination was Sydney in Australia, because they knew that Australia was a safe country to live in. Also he was not seeking for illegal protection like an asylum seeker would. Unfortunatley they did not make it to their destination, and ended up in Malaysia because of 2 pirate attacks, which they luckily survived but unluckily got their boat stolen away. They were floating in the water calling for help, when suddenly a German merchant ship came to rescue them. The German merchant ship took them to a Malaysian refugee camp, and they stayed there for a bit over 2 months, so they could finnally rest after that struggle of 2 pirate attacks, dieseases, hunger, dehydration, and lots more things that could have easily killed them.
