Ohhhhh so it doesn't necessarily refer to half asian, but half white?

Is the glass half empty or half full?

Actually, it means both. As originally used in Hawaii, the term hapa haole automatically inferred that the person described was part Asian or Polynesian; haole meant that the other part of that person was caucasion. Over the years hapa haole got shortened to just hapa, but the inferences still remain.

Surprisingly, I wasn't that full from the ramen and rice... I think I coulda eaten another... :)

can't believe it was about 99 to 100 degrees out there...:hot:

It was more like 95F, but with the sun heating up the asphalt/cement it might've been near 100F.

Still, I'd take the heat over the bitter cold. :victory:

cori wrote:I've never heard of orange manju before. Was it real orange or some processed stuff? And the strawberry and chocolate mochi ice cream sounds good. Haven't had that for quite a while.

I didn't have any of Q's manju, but I'd think (hope?) it was real orange and not something processed out of a bottle... :sweat:
