While I was in China, several people actually asked about my hair: "Is it real?" Um, yes, as a matter of fact...

I'm not particularly tall. At least, not by Western standards.

MA=Master's degree--Master of Arts (for this field, in TESOL, English, Education, Linguistics, etc.)

Why, yes, I do like Chinese food--the vegetarian/vegan stuff, that is.

NET=native English teacher (or something like that...)

Me, sing?!?!? I think not. Although I did end up singing in a pub in Ireland once, in my youth... Never again will I sing in public. Karaoke? Nope.

Oooh! While we're asking questions about acronyms (that I probably should already know the meaning of, but I'm simple). . . . What does ALT mean? I run accross it now and then, and I always think it means Alternative Lifestyle. But I'm sure that can't be right.
