Dating & Relationships Who is that Asian Man?

"There's the bumbling immigrant who speaks broken English. Then there's the computer nerd that's way too passive and let's people run over him all the time. How about the violent gangster wanna-be who doesn't practice martial arts out of defense but out of being a bad ass? Or what about the little brother that's always, always super friendly but can never get a date?"

This is how society has depicted the Asian-American male through the overly embellished world of entertainment and media.

Cuisine Bossam-Style Baechu Kimchi

When considering East Asian cuisine, there are many similarities and cross-over dishes between cultures, such as dumplings, but kimchi, spicy fermented napa cabbage, is distinctively Korean. There are over 200 varieties of kimchi with ingredients, seasonings, and fermenting techniques varying by region, province, and family. Kimchi tends to get spicier the more south you travel, and closer you get to the coast, the more oysters, squid, beltfish, and other sea creatures are added in kimchi.

Career Investing: Options

It's always interesting to have stock conversations (hey, at least for me). It tells me a lot about the mood of the individual investor. And then, if you watch the news and read the trades, comparing what the individual, the media, and the professional investor are saying becomes even more interesting.

Sex in the City Booty Talk

I've had my fair share of mildly kinky moments- dirty pictures, video cameras, vibrators, leather whips, dildos, role-playing, you name it. I'm always up for trying new things at least once just so I can experience it. You'll never know if you like it if you don't try it. And who knows? You might actually find a new fetish. But that wasn't the case in my new experiment. When my boyfriend suggested that we try anal I knew there were no "butts" about it.
