I often feel us Asian Americans don't get as much exposure compare to other races in this country. It is true that Asian Americans are way under represented on America's television shows and movies. Perhaps it's our introvert nature, or perhaps it's in our nature to try our best to integrate into mainstream America, and in doing so, we lose our originality. We're often embarrassed when we get pointed out, put into the spotlight, or cast as an outsider. Every mistake we make in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, we try our best to correct as quickly as possible.

It's because of this fact, the painful process of integration and balancing two cultures becomes diluted into just a memory, a part of learning process we stop talking about once we become a part of this country. Today, Adam sent me two links, where upon reading them, realized how extremely funny and precious this experience can be.

Thanks to CBS's 60 Minutes. I wonder how that Chinese mayer feels now about his town being the most toxic city in the world.

I never thought this would happen in my life time to be honest. It certainly will inspire and change the shape of things in this country I love. I am also sad for John McCain, before Obama, I admired his character more than anyone else's, the Bush legacy forced him to take a gamble in his choice of his running mate, and like many said, he was in the middle of a political tsunami. When its all said and done, I am very happy with the result. America will be great again. Good luck president Obama.

SNL... you're so back.

Crazy Protester Interrupts Palin Interview - Watch more free videos

My goodness. I love it, Its fascinating someone can get exposed so quickly in front of the camera. Just came over from China not long ago, I totally wish one day this will happen to all the black Audi A6 riding, hair dyeing, steely faced Chinese politicians. Although... I don't think China will ever have someone running for an office as high as Palin's to be as clueless as her.

I'm Slowly getting back into watching tv dramas again. I only followed two dramas in China during the entire time I was there, simply because the quality isn't up to what I was used to, good writers and solid plots are rare. Now by Adam's suggestion, his reason being that I'm now in Boston, I watched John Adams, a 7 part HBO mini series about the man and his role in founding of the United States. I enjoyed it very much. The second is the much talked about Mad Men, since its about the advertising industry. I'm also scrambling to finish Heros and Prison Break in preparation for the new season starting this month. I... Love America... sniff sniff.

This is really good, I love it.

I was brownsing CNN today, and its quick survey of the day is: "If you had the chance, would you want to go to the Olympics in Beijing?" To my big surprise, a whopping 69 percent of people voted No.

So let me get this straight America, despite the fact that this coming Olympic games is set in the biggest country in asia, home to one fifth of worlds population. A country that has a history 25 times of the US. You also wouldn't check out - the fastest growing economy in the world, the up and coming, biggest competitor in EVERY SINGLE aspect to United States. A big economic power thats making its best effort to collaborate with US and downplaying the "competitor" role by buying massive amounts of boeing airplanes and pushing the crappiest GM cars to its citizens. No, all you can think about is how the monks are treated in Tibet, people, get over it, I've been to tibet, Monks were never mistreated, what happened in the 50s and 80s were monks trying to make Tibet independent, they were rioting with fucking rifles and grenades, violent riot will meet with swift law enforcement, that happens every where. Tibet's BEEN Chinas for close to 300 freaking years, if you think Tibet is independent, you might as well give back Alaska, California, Nevada, New Mexico at least! I can not believe how many ignorant people are out there claiming they're liberals and act unbelievably sheltered.

Travel abroad, visit the place before you can cast some opinion. Otherwise, you're just dumb.
