I chose more european than asian mainly because I live in Australia.
I dont know, i speak the 2 chinese dialects and learn mandarin at school so I have no problem with communicating with chinese people and I love asian food. I go to china quite often, and have lived there for 2 years as a wee child. However, I look european and chinese people never think of me as being one of them. Even when I am in china, people call me "xiao wai guo ren" (little foreigner). So I think I have grown up thinking that I am not actually chinese... Also, most of my friends are not asian, but of other various ethnicities.
So in conclusion, I am confused.

I wonder what people will think of me if I go to vietnam... Strangely enough I have alot of russian friends, and they are kind of EA like. lol.

I feel more european but look don't look it - I look mostly asian so it's frustrating sometimes because I act/react as a european but people perceive me otherwise. sigh.

Everybody loves me. As long as you got blood or are related somehow you get hospitality and love.
If I ever received grief I wouldn't care because I got my own life to live. Got too much to do to waste time on people giving me crap over being mixed.

I'm not percieved as EA enough here! My good friend's boyfriend can't accept the fact that my father is English like him. It's getting on my nerves now. He tries to insinuate that neither of my parents are full caucasian and that if they are - I must be adopted and says he will consider me full asian untill he sees some evidence. I was so close to throwing my drink in his face. They think it's hilarious as if I'm ashamed of being considered 'full' asian but I'm not ashamed - I just really feel half and half because I don't feel more asian or more european. I feel like neither actually. I'm a foreigner in both places. ugh
