Dreams
How many siblings do you wish you had?
None, I know how hard pregnancy and raising a child can be, so I wouldn’t want my mom to go through that again.
What is the furthest you’ve been from home?
The U.S. — I’m from China, so that’s already really far. Unless I go in the middle of the ocean or leave the planet, this is it.
Favorite flavor of ice cream?
Mango
Dream vacation spot?
Switzerland — the mountains and lakes look so peaceful.
How many cities have you stayed in for longer than 3 months?
5: Hangzhou, Dongyang, Shanghai, New York, Charlottesville.
What is your favorite outdoor activity?
Running
If you had a million dollars what would you buy?
I’d invest most of it, but maybe buy a dream vacation for myself.
What’s the worst purchase you’ve made?
An expensive blender that I barely used more than twice
If there was one food you could eat the rest of your life, what would it be?
Noodles — there are so many ways to cook them, it would never get boring.
In a parallel universe where you are not a data scientist, what would you be?
A race car driver
What’s the most useless talent you have?
I can raise one eyebrow up and push the other down
What is your favorite TV show?
Stranger Things
If you could go back in time to any era, which would it be?
The Song Dynasty — I’d love to experience the poetry, the tea houses, and the prosperity of the cities like Kaifeng and Hangzhou. (but only as a scholar or official. I don’t think I’d survive as a farmer.)
Where is the worst smelling place you’ve been?
The restroom by the sea (when I went surfing with Aaditya).
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Slow WiFi — it instantly ruins my mood
