FROM THE BEGINNING...
Born in Hong Kong in the 70's, my family decided to immigrate to US when I was beginning grade school. During that time, I struggled to learn a new language and as a result have pretty much lost all knowledge of my Chinese writing abilities.
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
When it came time for college, I chose to stay right here in beautiful San Francisco. This not only helps reduce the college cost by living at home, I was also able to stay close to friends. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in business administration (majored in finance & Banking), I decided that this really isn't the route I want to go into.
Career Path
Don't misunderstand, I did work for a bank for 6 years and then decided that wasn't for me. During the dot com boom in the late 90s, I joined a large ISP (Internet Service Provider) and worked there for about a year. Later I took time off and traveled to Seoul and Hong Kong; before returning to dot com job #2, at a small ASP (Application Service Provider). It was a wonderful experience as I learned more about HTML than ever before. But please excuse any loading error to my site due to HTML error...didn't have time to figure out the problem yet.
Now
After the dot com boom, the company that I worked for finally closed down and I decided that I will need to get any shop to pay the bills. I was able to find a government job, working 8-5pm and not worry about any stress of layoffs. After doing that for about one year, I decided I need a job a bit more motivating. I was always interested in Japanese anime and thought wouldn't it be nice to understand the Japanese instead of reading the English subtitles? I asked around and was able to find different programs/organizations that can send Americans to Japan to teach English. I applied and got in and is on my way to Fukushima, Japan.

After that, who knows, but if you have any ideas, please let me know.
