Culture Clash
There's quite a few differences between the various Asian
and Caucasian cultures. The blending of ethnic differences can result
in some funny situations!
Got a funny story about the culture clash
between Asians and Haoles?

White husband and
Chinese Wife, My wife and I went out to go do some shopping. We never
thought about what we looked like when we went out with each, we just to do
what we needed to do for that day. We came up on two elderly woman , as we
approached they both looked at each other and utter disgust and frowned. At
first it seemed that they were upset at seeing a interracial couple, we got
closer one said, "Do you think you could of got her out of the cradle any
sooner?". I turned and looked at them stunned by their comments and before I
could say anything my wife said, "What's the big deal I'm only 3 years older
than you!". Of course when she said it she said it load enough for both of
them to hear. They both looked at her in dismay and we walked away in
laughter. ~ Clay Nettles |

My Chinese parents speak to their dog, Mimi,
in Chinese. After a month of marriage, my Italian husband was asked by a
co-worker if he's learned any of the Chinese language from spending time
with his in-laws. He thought for a minute and said, "Mimi...lai!" ~

I'm usually the only
Asian. or other minority for that matter at parties, etc. but I enjoy
being somewhat mysterious (even though I'm not) among my friends. We
have a wonderful life here - and Twin Falls actually has TWO Japanese
restaurants now, and TWO Thai food restaurants and lots of really bad
Chinese food restaurants - so we stick to Thai, Japanese, Mexican, and
good old steak and potatoes. ~ Janet Matsuoka Keegan, Idaho |

After being single and
"playing the field" for several years, I informed my mother I was
marrying a Japanese girl, who is/was an exchange student at the local
University. Mom said "Japanese girls are pretty when they are young, but
when they age, they really fall apart. Are you sure?" We're going on 15
years of marriage and she still looks great and holding. We took
Mom to Kuyshu and then to Kyoto for two weeks last year. The worst trip
we've ever had. She refused to "slurp" the Odon, she asked for
silverware and napkins at every restaurant we went to. When we went to
visit the shrines and temples in Kyoto, she would sing, out loud "The
battle hymn of the Republic"...... when we were in the international
airport, coming home, she complained to strangers so much about the
food, some Asian woman, married to an Haole, bought her a chicken
sandwich and gave it to her (Her look said "shut up"). Lesson
learned... This year, when we went to visit my in-laws, it was just my
wife and I. ~ Vern McCready |
