For many Asian families prosperity, education and fertility rank at the top of priorities. Fertility is delayed for many families due to career, money factor and lifestyle. For those childless couples do you get a lot of pressure from parents and inlaws?
 
you constantly exhibit stereotypes and racial profiles in your posts such as in the first sentence of this post.  there isnt anything offensive but i think you are looking at specific groups of asians and broadly characterizing all asians in the same bucket.  also, many races value prosperity, education, and fertility.  almost all my childless couple friends across many races get a constant reminder from their parents for their desire of grandkids. 

for us, it was a given that we would have kids one day.  we just didnt feel like having kids right after marriage and we got married pretty young at 23 so took our time.  our parents starting pushing a bit when we turned 28 as they didnt want us to be too old with our kids but the pressure wasnt that great.  i think the pressure to be married is far greater for our single indian girlfriends, esp if they are nearing 30. 
 
If you can have kids when you are younger... you should.

I have many friends who have waited and some are unable to have kids while other wish they had them earlier. The only pro I can think about having kids later is that you are possibly in a more established career and you can take more time off to tend to kids things or you can afford to have a 1 or 1.5 income family.
 
I knew IVF is a big business in Irvine but until recently I learned of Life IVF center at Barranca and Harvard is doing really well and patients are mostly Asian. Dr Yelien and his staff are predominantly Asians with multilingual expertise. My acupuncture doctor in the same building also treat IVF patients with a holistic approach. I was told many of Asian clients are faced with late parenthood and IVF center is in high demand among Asians.
 
$9 pho? wtf, not thanks... 3 star yelp reviews.. the peiwei of viet cuisine...  reminds me of the mediocre food at AnQi, use to live a block away from Thanh Long in SF and was severely disappointed with OC's version of An Family cuisine..
 
I don't like their AnQi hole in the wall version of their other Crustacean Restaurants on Polk Street and Beverly Hills. The one at SCP is expensive too. They are all over rated for mediocre foods.

So you lived in the Outer Richmond district known for 30,000 houses built from the same 3 floor plans. No wonder you like Irvine!

Never noticed the houses much, still a student back then, just rented a house on 48th where the Judah turns around, great alarm in the am, metal on metal grind, coldest place I ever lived, and that was summer time.  I did notice the houses "touch" each other, a real zero lot.  Was that due to earthquakes? Or just a lack of space?
