Just over 8 years.

I think people are well educated here and they understand and are responsive to what I do.

No, I was born in China.

I would work in an academic environment either in a university or college.

Chinese food. Tofu is my favourite food.
What is your favourite meal of the day and why?
Dinner. My wife usually cooks and it is family time for us.

Going to China to see my family. I don't see enough of my family and spending time with them is what I enjoy.
If you had to give up everything and choose one thing (object not person) to keep what would it be?
Nothing means that much except my wife and children. I can't think of any object that I am that attached to.
