Hi to all people out there ;) My name is Matt, 19 years old living in Austria, Vienna. I am 1/4 Czech 1/4 German (father) and half Taiwanese (mother).

I am proud to be Hapa because it’s a big advantage for me to know about the western and the Asian culture. I also grew up bilingual. I guess that gives me a good overview in life.

There aren’t so much Hapas here in Austria. So it’s lovely to see that there are sooo many Hapas out there =D And the community is growing ;)

Sometimes it hard to answer if someone asks me where I am from.  Shall I say I am Austrian? Or Taiwanese ? xDD

The Europeans think I look more Asian, and the Asians think I look like an European.  So I am pretty confusing right now =O  What do you think about it?

My name is Nikky and I live in Florida. I am Japanese, Irish, Italian, German, and Czech. I will frequently get the question, “what is your ethnic background?” Once I tell them the long list of nationalities they are usually pretty amazed. I really like being hapa, where I live it’s definitely a rarity.

My grandmother is Japanese and met my grandfather in Japan while he was over there after the war. I really enjoy hearing my grandmother’s stories because she lived in Japan when the country was going through a time of turmoil. It makes me really proud to have her be a big part of my life. I love being hapa because I can identify with many nationalities and really feel unique.
