Crap! I posted on TAMN's blog that I was hurt that I wasn't included in the Asian friend list, since I'm .12% Asian. Which means I own a rice cooker and I have lived with Japanese exchange students, all through high school
I'm ABA. Do you know what? Remember how when we were BEST FRIENDS and lived together FOREVER and could never ever leave each other? Back then, I was the minority, and you, you were just run-of-the-mill -every day, -pointing-your-knees-out-when- you-ride-your-bike-asian. my how the tables have turned...
Tell nide mama ni hao and that wo xiang nian ta. I also xihuan ni and xiang nian ni too.
The other day I said to Mia "you're killing me" and thought of you.
"Really? I'm 8 years old and I'm killing you!?"
BUBBLE TEA!!!! Thanks for the idea, looks like I'm taking the family out on a cultural diversity trip. Oh, BTW.. Kylie isn't feeling well, thought I'd tell you over the internet instead of buggin you on the phone ;-)
I'm only part Asian, which means I'm only part cool.
But my husband can relate to every single one of these, even the jade bracelets and sweat suits. He really is pure Asian, no matter how many Big Macs he can eat.
Sooooo exited for our asia trip!!!
wow. you got a comment from TAMN! You are so lucky.
I loved this post; even though I'm only "part Asian."
