***Edited to say: This is NOT me nor my video. Alison is a Chinese American living in New York city. I am a Japanese American born in San Francisco (My photo is in all my posts) and one can clearly see we are NOT THE same person. I enjoy her videos and you can find more of hers at youtube. I would also like to recommend "Community Channel" run by Natalie Tran. (She is Vietnamese born in Australia) whose videos are very funny.
