This is a picture of me enjoying some delicious Uzbek food, which is similar to Xinjiang food, the western region of China that people often think I’m from. In fact one of the most common questions I get is whether I’m half Chinese or something, so I wanted to reply to this question. The answer is that I am not; my family is originally Eastern European Jewish and until the age of 18 I grew up speaking only English. Then I lived in Beijing for a year where I learned to speak Chinese! My Chinese name is Xiaoma which I use for my videos, and even though I am not Chinese I really enjoy Chinese food and culture and it’s a big part of who I am!
