A short period of time following my birth, my family and I relocated across the bridge to San Francisco. The foggy, eccentric city is where I spent, and still spend, my life. I consider myself very lucky to be able to openly identify as a Chinese American girl. Most of this can be attributed to me living…

Later it grew into a celebration of three Catholic saints. Around Brazil and even here in America, there are public parties celebrating Festa Junina. Festa Junina takes place from…

Jennifer 8. Lee was on a quest to find out how authentic American Chinese food is. In her book, The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, she uses multiple themes to illustrate her findings and her research, such as diversity, food, race and history, but I think her book is mostly about the culture aspect of American-Chinese and Chinese people.
