    • i was born and raised in canada of filipino parents. i visited the philippines several time up to age 17, but then went to live in taipei for one year learning chinese through a canadian scholarship when i was 28. it was such an amazing experience learning the language and culture. i completely fell in love with the people and especially chinese culture. i hope to move back after i finish school here in LA!

      excellent video... thanks so much!
