The Asian continent

East Asia includes, the most well-known parts of Asia (by Westerners at
least), China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, North & South Korea, Japan, and Mongolia. These
are the ones people mainly think of when they think of Asians. In our area of
Northern Virginia, Koreans make up the majority of East Asian immigrants. I went to
school with many Korean-American kids in the really nice, suburban community of
Springfield, VA. There is a Korean family that I have visited, and they go to our
place of worship. They live in Burke, VA.
Chinese have formed a huge, immigrant base in the U.S. There are many
Chinatowns in the U.S. There are Chinese restaurants in almost every community
in the U.S. I love Chinese food, esp. Shrimp-fried rice, General Tsos chicken and
others. I especially, enjoy the All You Can Eat places.
I am very fascinated by Japanese people, and their culture.

As I said Chinese food is very very popular in the U.S. There are even some Korean
restaurants around.

Ding How Restaurant that has been in Springfield, Virginia for over 40 years.

Evergreen Restaurant, where I got food from all the time when I was at VCU in Richmond.
This one is only 12 years old.

There are a number of International grocery stores, owned by Koreans in

Northern Virginia. In these stores, most of the employees are Hispanic people
from Central America, and the customer base is pretty diverse (Central Americans
or Hispanics still being the majority).
