If someone could come up with a matzo ball dim sum restaurant, we’d all be set

November 17, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY It’s interesting what one feels pride over. A few days ago, I was playing tennis with a group of guys during our weekly tennis match. We’ve been playing regularly for years now. During a break in play, we started talking. It’s never anything important — it could be about […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS — A diet f it for a frog

September 29, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY I am on a diet. I feel like I say that a lot. Actually, you can probably figure out how old I am by the number of times I say I’m on a diet every year. It’s like counting the rings in the cross section of a tree. Ah, […]

June 2, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

I’ve heard that someone going through the symptoms of withdrawal can be dramatic, but it’s only been recently that I’ve seen the effects in person. Just to be sure, I searched online to better understand some of these symptoms.

WAYNE’S WORLDS: Blessed are the donuts

March 10, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY We are truly blessed. The other night, my wife Maya and I were sitting across from each other at the dining table when Maya seemed to pause for a moment and seemed lost in thought. She took a breath and with a gentle smile on her face, looked up […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS: Roses are red … and they’d better be

February 10, 2017 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Ahh, I love that spring is right around the corner. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and even the gophers in my back yard seem to be leaving my wife’s rose bushes alone. Speaking of roses, the spring bloom must also mean it’s that time of year […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS: An electrifying fair or — how I avoided death, fell in love, and became a chairman

November 18, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan NORTHWEST ASIAN WEEKLY Well, now I’ve done it. I didn’t think I would. Actually, I was sure I wouldn’t. I’ve got too much on my plate already. I wouldn’t be able to do it justice. Even if I wanted to, I just don’t have the time, so no way. It’s just not […]

The mundane Olympics

September 9, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly Now that the Rio Olympics are behind us, I think this is a perfect moment to take stock of many of the brilliant performances, as well as how the entire Olympic movement can play a part in our own daily lives. It just seems to me that with every […]

A thwacking worth a thousand words

July 18, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly Some of you may have run across a recent video that’s gone viral — of a trainer, lining up a group of employees working for a Chinese Bank and spanking them with a wooden paddle in front of their peers for poor performance evaluations. It’s a shocking display. It’s […]

The Lunar holiday, for those who love time travel

February 26, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly The Lunar New Year is a big deal. It has the ability to bend time and space. Believe me — I’d know. Here’s the evidence: I’ve never known my dad’s birthday. You might ask, what does that have to do with the Lunar New Year and time travel? Good […]

November 25, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly
