<p>i went to school in Hubei Province until 9th grade. then I went to Cairo, Egypt for my first year of high school. After that, I came to Conneticut and goes to a boarding school there. Since i am still on F-1 visa, so I count myself a pure Chinese student</p>
<p>^ living in Egypt? That's amazing. Do you know Arabic?</p>
<p>yep, it was a pretty amazing experience</p>
<p>Are you going back after college or will you remain here and attempt permanent residency?</p>
<p>Hey...are those of you who say you're Chinese really were born in China? Or are you guys like me...2nd generation ABC's? (American-Born Chinese's)</p>
<p>I was born here but I can still speak and read Mandarin fluently! Heck yeah. I can write too but only on the computer...lol</p>
<p>Im proudly Chinese and born there too. Moved from Shanghai when I was 9.</p>
<p>i left home, Beijing when I was 14-15, i am now in the U.S alone while my family still live in Beijing</p>
