Just my 2 cents. I am on my 3rd Asian marriage. The first was from VietNam and she passed on in '97. 2nd was Thai whom I married, probably as a "rebound" in '98 and she left me for someone her own age( she was 12 years younger than me) after 4 years. And now Ya. I was a lot more carefull than with the Thai girl. I didn't want that again, but I never gave up hope. Ya has many of the same interests as I do including her profession. I didn't have that with the last one and I should have seen the "writing on the wall" but I didn't. I guess what I am trying to say is, chalk it up to experience, gather yourself and continue. Most of all, DON"T GIVE UP!
