Dear Hulu, Thanks for even having a Korean Dramas section. I really appreciate it. And thank you for spotlighting the Korean Dramas genre on your front page today: But wait. Something isn’t quite right. Can it be that the first “Korean” drama you featured is The Legend of Bruce Lee? Just to make sure, I […]
Admit it. We’ve all been there. Doing a #2 in a public/semi-public restroom, only to realize that — oh crap (literally) — there’s no toilet paper! What do you do? This is precisely the reason I try my best to have a pack of tissues in my bag at all times. But on the few […]
As someone who is married to a Chinese man (and often gags at the things he is willing to eat), I can attest that this is completely accurate. 😉 Via 9GAG. You may also like: 90s Flashback [“Answer Me 1997”] The Asian Grading System When Toilet Paper is Not an Option Parents and Technology
A few days ago, CNN Asia posted a video and an accompanying article titled “Plastic surgery boom as Asians seek ‘western’ look” which tells the story of Lee Min Kyong, who opted to have Asian blepharoplasty — otherwise known as double eyelid surgery — at the age of 12 in order to “westernize her eyes.” […]
Yesterday, the foodie site Serious Eats wrote about the 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles. And while I certainly wouldn’t call every method “easy” (just reading about the Ramepherd’s Pie gave me a headache), nor did all the modifications actually look that tasty in this blogger’s opinion (Ramacos and Ramac & Cheese look…interesting), I […]
Last month I received a phone call from my dad. This is how the conversation went: Dad: Jenny I want a smartphone. GiH: That’s great. What kind do you want? Dad: …the smartphone. GiH: Okay, but there are many different types of smartphones. Do you have a specific brand in mind? Dad: The one that my […]
One of the biggest stereotypes about Asian women (aside from the notion that we are meek, timid creatures who are sexual slaves in the bedroom) is that we never seem to age, or age at a much slower rate than the rest of the population. And wouldn’t you know it — here is a funny […]
(image courtesy of Little Seouls Blog) I remember when I was little, the best part about New Year’s Day was not the gathering of family or the delicious food. The best part of New Year’s Day for me — and for millions of other Korean kids — was getting dressed in our hanbok (traditional Korean dress) […]
J is pretty particular when it comes to authentic Chinese vs. “Americanized” Chinese food, products, and ideas. For example, he thinks it’s a travesty that I prefer Chinese takeout from Panda Express over authentic Chinese cuisine from Chinatown, and swears that he will teach Claire to know (and prefer!) only the best. Be that as […]
An old coworker used to joke to me that all Asians look alike to her. While some may find this offensive, I knew that it was all in jest and chided right back that all white people look the same to me. I think that being Asian myself has helped me become familiar with specific […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
