I like to consider this post as my 'home post' and will keep adding thoughts and issues I will face. Amazed and grateful that many people sharing thoughts about something I didn't know and something I should think about. I recently learned the word 'political correctness'. To maintain 'PC'...

Woodbury has one another factor, it is year round school. I like WB, little bit older than other towns, but have more greens and trees. Also, nice floor plans too. Visited 5 or 6 open houses in WB so far, last one was really something I considered seriously, but not yet made my mind about year...

I meant Ultra competitive in Irvine. Keep in mind it?s not only Irvine that it?s ultra competitive. Aha, Competition in Irvine. Yes, I am aware of that. I have one question. About activities, like sports and musical instruments, does student have an opportunity to experience and choose what...

Staying school for 17.5 hours per day is not fun. Different aspect from 'ultra competitive', I think. Ultra competitive is like 'very hard to win', right? It more depends on your academic ability, not the time you stay in school until midnight.. I spoke to one representative in Padova last...

I like reading the conversation between you and other folks about tutoring and afterschool activities. I am just getting to know how parents and student manage these things, mainly to achieve their goal for going to certain level of college. Just telling you what I did in my country when I was...

Yes, I imagined that some people could just laugh about this. But it is an issue among Asians!! I have not talked to Indian, So don't know their idea, but even Chinese told me "too much Chinese here." Some Koreans just like to stay where they have settled in. One of the reason is that some of...

I thought about your comments a lot last night, because, believe it or not, this is my first time in my life to put my thought in public / anonymous forum and you left quite negative comment on me which was not easy to accept when I just saw it. But I realized that it has been a while since...

After I saw my own kid pick up english so quickly, I figure out one thing. This is my theory. Since kids need less vocabulary (maybe 50 or 100 words)to make their own conversation with their peer, it is much easier for them to initiate foreign language communication. Adults need much more...

Luckily not yet.. but being advised that I have to be careful taking little kid.

Turtle ridge....very nice area, but out of my budget range...also, all floor plan that I visited has kind of isolated kitchen that I don' like.

It doesn't seem correct, maybe some statistics bias..

I go to bike or hike to Shady Canyon trail. Beautiful area...and that is about it now!!!!!

You are getting it wrong. I picked up the word 'asian' to describe the group I belong to, but, it would be better to call 'non-american citizen origin' or just 'expat' or 'newly immigrated'. My point is, 60% Asian kids, majority of them newly immigrated, they don't have inputs to share to...

Many thanks to your thoughtful comments. I decided to put my words in TI because I saw people put their valuable time and give valuable advice, just like you do to me. I was going to say this in different comments but I am writing it here. My criteria is just like this.. 1. It is best to stay...

Wow. So many comments and insights during my 1 day absence yesterday. Let me make all my reply and comment here. 1. american history and my agenda here : Dear Mety, I am aware of the history of 1600~1700 in america, but,,,not quite relevant to my situation I believe.. because what I am trying...

I feel every sentence you wrote here is very valuable advice to me. Thank you.

Aha..the jail...yes it is better to avoid it.

Which "new" Irvine? New-new-real new like Great park? Or..Eastwood? Communities that I mainly mention is Cypress village and Stonegate.

Someone told me, but didn't have a close look at it, because so many areas to see..@_@ and now trying to narrow down.. Should I at least visit the Baker ranch, you think?

Well, I guess different feeling from different background.. I believe, your question and hypothesis is not that simple, equivalent to immigrant asian. Even among asians, there is big difference how to see the demographics, some people just feel secured and comfortable, some people like me start...
