**Bilingual Alert: This episode was conducted in a mixture of Mandarin and English. However, I think this would be more beneficial for English listeners or for those who're interested in learning Mandarin or going to Asia to teach English as a Second-Language (ESL). Kevin is a cool biracial fellow that I met at work and he shares his work as an ESL teacher in different cities in China between 2007-2010, then again from 2013-2015. We actually had chai while chatting. He started teaching kids in Shanghai for 5 years. Later moved to Xiamen and began learning Mandarin there with her girlfriend (now wife). He also talked about his high school experience at Columbine which suffered from the shooting in 1999 (OMG!!!)
