Wulingren

I have recently taken the leap from the ivory tower to the bustling streets of Taipei, where I love the night markets. ... and a proud member for 2 years 20 weeks

I recently finished a Ph.D. in Chinese language and culture at the University of Pennsylvania. In May, I will begin a new career at a NPR-like shortwave radio station in Taipei, called Radio Taiwan International. I am fluent in Chinese and enjoy reading modern and classical Chinese. Since 2003, I have actively followed American politics, especially on the web, and volunteered with MoveOn during the 2004 election.

Words to live by "C'est l'histoire d'un mec qui tombe d'un immeuble de cinquante étages au fur et à mesure de sa chute il se réte sans cesse pour se rassurer: jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien, jusqu'ici tout va bien... mais l'important, c'est pas la chute, c'est l'atterrissage." + + + + + It's the story of a guy that falls from the 50th floor of a building and all throughout his descent he keeps telling himself : For now I'm OK, for now I'm OK, for now I'm OK ... what's important is not the fall but how I land. — Mathieu Kassovitz Subscribe Buttons
