Immersion in a foreign country. I am a mono-lingual U.S. citizen who has spent 12 years in China.

I think you are being self-deprecating, Trumpsey and your Chinese is quite good?

What's the 'US.Citizen' bit about. I am a little suspicious about that constant emphasis because your English would normally be considered to be a bit too handy to be American. You're not British masquerading as one of them ,are you? But you can tell me to mind my own business if you like. Australian or Canadian?
