Exactly this! When I write 'high school' compositions (even at JC and Sec School) I've always written about Singaporean schools (Thoug h Iused john and mary as names because they were much easier than using my classmates' names. Classmates might read them, 'John' and 'mary' would not).

That makes it high school 'fic', but it's undeniably Singaporean, not American or UK.

Asian doesn't have to mean "Catherine Lim' superstitious fiction, or Amy Tan's 'Cultural revolution'. We can do so much more with Asian.
