Local Description

I am a nine year old girl. Everything about me is double - I have two names: my Vietnamese name is Kim Mai, and French name is Emma. I like to eat both French and Vietnamese dishes that my mother cooks. I have a twin brother. He was with me from before we were born and he's always there - at home and at school. He tells my parents of all my wrongdoings though.

People call me Catastrophe Emma, ​​because the God of Disaster seems to be secretly following me everywhere. Everything I do and touch breaks down. I would love to become Lucky Emma or Happy Emma. Funny, right?
