10. I love Asian Culture, Art and History

Especially Music. I took up Asian Studies at Cal Berkeley. I was the one who got the Asian group going on DU so we could share that information with everyone. I grew up in mostly Asian neighborhood in San Francisco, and my high school was very multicultural. We had people from all over the world there, but mostly Chinese, Filipinos (and Filipinas), Vietnamese, Cambodian, Taiwanese, Indonesians, Singaporeans, and Malaysians.

Having grown up with tales from my Father, I had interest in early Japanese History and stories from my mom, passed down from her mom from South Korea. I would probably admit I am obsessed with Asian culture.. Anime, Manga, Traditions and I love Asian food! I also have many friends on Twitter and IMVU who share their joy of all things Asian with me as well. Its my passion and hope to some day visit places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok, Seoul, Hanoi, Beijing, Taipei, and return to Osaka to visit with my relatives.
