I have read some Japanese mysteries, but the pacing is a little different and I am still not sure what I think of them. I also really love historical fiction set in Asia.<br /><br />2. I remember a party for my high school graduation and a smaller one for my college graduation. As my parents had moved out of town by the time I graduated from grad school, I didn't even walk for that one.Rickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108470370944541128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-90828480305194156202012-05-27T07:08:30.046-05:002012-05-27T07:08:30.046-05:001.

I don't avoid them, but then again I don't seek them out.<br /> <br />2. I had two, what I would call graduations. The first was High School & I celebrated, I guess, by leaving home. The second was when I completed my nursing studies. I celebrated by getting a job in a great hospital. No party type celebrations, just moving on to the next phase of my life.Mary Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201076939557413255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-65191835846969378222012-05-27T06:18:59.322-05:002012-05-27T06:18:59.322-05:001.

I highly recommend it to anyone that has not had the opportunity to read it.<br /><br />2. Sadly, I never graduated high school so there was no celebration but I did go a fews years later and get my GED.<br /><br />mamabunny13 at gmail dot commamabunny13https://www.blogger.com/profile/03812634171027857183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-77467923478202902662012-05-27T06:01:25.828-05:002012-05-27T06:01:25.828-05:00ooops, forgot to answer 2nd question. :)

I've read some asian authors and asian influenced books when I was younger since my older sister owned a whole bunch and I needed to read something for book reports. I hate to admit that the only reason I got into Asian related books is because of watching Joy Luck Club and Memoirs of a Geisha.<br /><br />2. I celebrated my graduation with my immediate and extended family. We ended up going to a dim sum restaurant for lunch since I hadn't had it in awhile. Afterwards I went out and bought a few bottles of sparkling cider and some alcoholic drinks to prepare for the holidays since I graduated in December. Oh, I almost forgot, I also went to Disneyland later in the week. It was amazing since the holiday decorations were out.Kristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097708565843340440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-66559656988319482202012-05-27T00:41:14.352-05:002012-05-27T00:41:14.352-05:001) Good question.

Apart from books for my studies (I was a minor in Cultural Anthropology) I don't think I ever read any fiction books from that region.<br /><br />2) I didn't. Oh wait, I got my hair cut short. This happened to be a very bad idea (don't ask), but makes the whole thing rather memorable after all.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307461298661584480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-10348302149528669012012-05-26T22:36:08.083-05:002012-05-26T22:36:08.083-05:001) Being Asian I read Asian authors very, very oft...1) Being Asian I read Asian authors very, very often.
