I am half Japanese and half white.

With glasses, I look more Japanese.

And without glasses, I look more white.

My wife thinks I look quite German, which makes sense because I am 1/8 German.

My white side is a mix of German, French, Irish, and Scottish.

I grew up in Tokyo, Japan, and moved to the States when I went to college.

Now I live in the best city in the world, Austin, TX, yeah baby.

Well, I do miss Tokyo, though.

We need more good Japanese restaurants here in Austin, but hey, they got good other Asian food.  Vietnamese and Indian food here rocks!
