1. What's your favorite food for Spring Festival?

My wife makes lots of delicious Yunnan dishes. I think the mushrooms are my favorite.

2. What would you like to do most during the Spring Festival?

What I want to do most is write, write, write and to learn about the Chinese economy. I also dream of riding my bike from Beijing to Xishuangbanna.

3. What is the biggest change in your life during the past year?

The best change was moving to China and getting to live with my wife. It is an interesting life here. It has been a big transition from being a professor to working for a newspaper.
