i'm from FL originally (melbourne) and my wife is japanese and i've taken her down there about 6 times now on various vacations to meet and re meet family plus just have fun (we're going to orlando next month too) and every time she never sees another asian except for the tourist locations but that doesn't really count for them being from there i guess, just visiting. i never noticed it when i lived there but its like she jinkx's the situation cuz i keep getting more and more obsessed with trying to actually spot an asian person in a non tourist part of FL just to show her... maybe you could conveniently be having lunch at a local spot and i could be like look there is an asian person, now we can move to FL...

There must be Chinese restaurants near by, so the owners must be "local" atleast to Florida. When we went to Orlando, we saw a lot of Asian employees at Disney, so they must live there too.

Hey, worse comes to worse, wait until I retire. I plan on working at Disney sweeping the rides a night. You can see me then...

If I am not mistaken it is silver. (Mercury Metallic to be precise). May be you know it is silver but you just meant to say you wished u had a white.

I really love Lexus silver on these cars. In shadow it looks very light colored. In bright sun it shines silver. I wanted a white too but I am so happy with the silver. Great looks and easy to maintain.
