I am a Monkey who is older than Ekade -- so figure it out! I'm from Beijing China. My mother taught English so I learned it early on in childhood.
I came to the US for school thanks to an uncles' sponsorship. Back in China, we used rotary phones, internet --what?, I never imagined I would ever need to drive (New Yorkers I think would understand), and I was both a maijiang and tennis fiend. I always liked war movies, especially of World War II, love stories, and slow songs. I think my upbringing was pretty western because I liked the pop stars in the US as much as ours. A boyfriend is responsible for getting me interested in Star Wars. It grew on me because of the themes in it and the more I learned about the story, the more I liked it.
I fell in love and married an American which I never imagined (he's 31 -- I "robbed the cradle", lol!) after we met in college and when he went in the Air Force, so did I. We've moved all over. No children -- yet but we have a little boy now on the way now for our first child.
