I ASK YOU TALK: The Asian Edition

They exist! I met some DFW Asians this weekend! In honor of the Asian Film Festival of Dallas coming up this weekend, I decided to feature an Asian themed edition. It turns out DFW area Asians (and friends of) are kind of over Hello Kitty, which makes me a little sad, and they sing a lot more than the average American.

Name: Eunice (right)
Years in Dallas: 22 years
Asian Languages spoken: Korean
Who would you rather be: Dragonball Z, Hello Kitty, or Anoop Desai from American Idol? There are just some questions to which there are no good answers, and I def think this is one of them. Hello Kitty wears no bottoms, Dragonball Z has crazy hair, and does Anoop even count?
How often do you karaoke? Once in awhile, when we can get a good group together to karaoke in K-Town. (and yes, it’s Agnes’s favorite napping spot)

Who would you rather be: Dragonball Z, Hello Kitty, or Anoop Desai from American Idol? What she said.

Name: Lindsay

Asian Languages spoken: None
Who would you rather be: Dragonball Z, Hello Kitty, or Anoop Desai from American Idol? Anoop Desai, just to see what it's like behind the scenes at American Idol. To see what Paula is like in person, and if there is any interaction between the contestants and the judges.
How often do you karaoke? Not often. Pre-child, at least once a month. Post-child, never.


Name: Kenn
Years in Dallas: 19 years

Who would you rather be: Dragonball Z, Hello Kitty, or Anoop Desai from American Idol? Dragonball Z becuase my brother and I grew up on the cartoons. It would be cool to fly around and do acrobatics!
How often do you karaoke? I haven't in a few years, although I used to do a summer program in Arkansas, and karaoke was the only thing to do there.
