I am a first generation American, born into a Chinese family who immigrated from Hong Kong decades ago. I feel that I have missed out on a lot of great, fun white/American people activities . So now, I am taking this opportunity to think of things that white people do for fun that I have never done before and really should. As I think of other things to do, I will add them to this list and I will strike out things as I experience them. This is meant to be serious but sort of funny… enjoy =D
