I am the Haole in our family.

I am the Haole in our family. Thank you all for including *haole wives* in your club!!!!
I was divorced with a three year old Hapa daughter(Hawaiian,Chinese,Haole) when I met my future-husband-to-be. He is local-Japanese. We have been married for almost 20 years.

raised in Hawaii and married to a haole

Aloha

I heard about this cute club on the radio a few weeks ago. What a cute concept since I’m Japanese born ( yonsei ) 3rd generation and raised in Hawaii and married to a haole- from California.

I am definitely NOT demure geisha girl

I may be little (4’10″) but I am definitely NOT demure geisha girl who giggles behind her hand and says yes dear to everything and never argues back.

He asked me to hand him “the torch”

When my husband first moved to Hawaii from Glasgow,Scotland, I had to learn to understand his way of speaking and vice versa. This led to a lot of miscommunication between us. For instance, the Scottish word for flashlight is torch.

One day, we were set to go out but he wanted to do [...]

I’m a haole hubby and have something to add to ‘Hubby Rants’

Possible use in “Hubby rants”?

Chris’ list of possible cross-cultural flash-points to watch out for (and ‘neva-fail’ resolutions):

1) Problem: Innocently plant single small bamboo plant in your 50 x 25 foot back yard, without making sure roots are fully contained!

Resolution: Spend rest of life arduously battling the spread of the [...]
