First Blog

I guess I have the first honor of blogging between Nancy and I. Like many...we too have started a blog so that our friends and family can keep up to date with our lives. It's funny that we can find time to blog, upload pictures, and just do internet or computer stuff...yet we seem to lack the time to make a phone call or even more archaic...write a letter. Yes, I understand that by blogging we can via satellite to many people and places, thus killing many birds with one stone, but I do have to admit that I miss that personal touch. Hopefully, inadvertently I will learn something about myself, my wife, my children, and life through the outward process of writing out ones thoughts. Maybe even you...our family and friends who have known us either all our lives or just a moment will learn something about us that you never knew.

Oh! You are probably wondering why this blog is titled Tiger Meets Panda. Well Tiger refers to me...Korean John...and Panda refers to Chinese Nancy...and one of the constant revolving challenges is the meeting and effort to meld these two cultures together. I am such a white washed Korean...prior to getting married I thought there wouldn't be that much of a difference between Nancy and I because we are both Asian....boy was I wrong...soooo different. So, I'm sure these things will be an aspect in these blogs as well. Thanks for being a part of our lives so that we even needed to create a blog.
