As I travel around Asia, I have come to have a deep heart for these people. Their deep culture and rich heritage are extremely intriguing to me, an American from a country that is not even 300 years old. The Chinese roots run deep, thousands and thousands of years, and their lifestyles reflect it. Almost everyday it seems I clash with their culture, and as a result of this, learn something in the process. This is not a bad thing, mind you. On the contrary, I think that every American should come to Asia and experience some part of this at one time in his or her life. 

As I create this blog, I'm going to share my experiences as an ang mo in Asia. Currently, my travels bring me to Malaysia, but someday they may take me elsewhere. I hope that my experiences can help your understanding of Asian culture, and hopefully it may even cause you to have a deep love for these people and their aestheticism to their culture.
