Thanks! In spanish you can say orientales. Actually some people say "chinos" to all asians, not only chinese but japanese, koreans, etc. That's too bad.

And yes, I was lucky to be in many states. I even forgot to mention DC, New Orleans, Raleigh, Las Vegas, Arizona (Monument Valley), Utah (Lake Powell), Detroit, Philadelphia. United States is a beautiful country.

I'm a voyager!!!
