Wayne’s Worlds: The three cardinal rules for finicky eaters

March 24, 2012 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly I am a finicky eater. There. I’ve said it. It’s “out there.” I’ve always been a bit squeamish about trying new things. I’ve gotten better in the last 10 years though. I remember as a little kid trying to explain to my mom, from a scientific perspective, the real […]

Wayne’s Worlds: Facebook banned: a social dilemma in China

January 9, 2012 By Wayne Chan

Having come back from China this past week, I realize that what I really missed was something unexpected. This time, it had nothing to do with the little conveniences we all sometimes take for granted, at least materially speaking. China is chock full of Ferraris, Rolexes, and every little extravagance you can imagine. Let me […]

WAYNE’S WORLDS: Children … the gift that keeps on taking

December 12, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Wayne’s Worlds, a column about being a Chinese family man By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly There comes a time in our lives as parents when we begin to examine and even question the choices we have made. Before I go any further, let me first say that any derogatory statement that I make from […]

Wayne’s Worlds: Sunny, the Renaissance man — a story

September 26, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Wayne Chan Northwest Asian Weekly Once upon a time, in a quaint and quiet hamlet, stood a modest row of shops, unremarkable from any other unassuming row of shops in any other quiet hamlet, yet still serving the needs of the town’s inhabitants, as well as those passing through in their journey through town. […]

Wayne’s Worlds: What if the world were run by the airline industry?

April 14, 2011 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Now I’ve flown all over the world, for work and vacations alike. You’d think I’d be used to the service (or lack thereof) that one typically gets on an economy flight nowadays.

Wayne’s Worlds: The benefits of being a human pretzel 

June 3, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The surprising thing is, even as a beginner, I do see the value of it. I think I always did. Everyone I’ve seen who does yoga seems

Wayne’s worlds: A tale of two restaurants

January 7, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Oh, I know a few things. I know that wearing shorts on our weekly date night is a huge no-no. I know that reading a magazine during dinner is genuinely frowned upon. And if you’ve ever wondered, playing a tennis match on our anniversary is absolutely inexcusable.

Kopi coffee, truly a scat-ter-brained idea

September 10, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

In the last year, I wrote about tea leaf plucking monkeys in China that supposedly know how to pick tea leaves when they are good and ready. With my active mind, I immediately conjured up thoughts of the training process involved in training monkeys to pluck and deliver tea leaves and not other things like, say, a pair of shoes hanging from a telephone wire, an errant hub cap, or an old TV Guide from the 1970s.

A picture is worth a thousand edits

June 18, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

My wife and I are now disciplined enough to apply our version of “tough love” to nearly every aspect of their lives, whether we are trying to get them to speak, read and write, dress themselves, brush their teeth, or use the bathroom.
