We met on a study-abroad program in Shanghai. We were both learning Chinese and we were classmates, and we were the only fluent English-speaking people in our class, because everyone else was Japanese, Korean, Russian, German, Swedish and Kazak. So we became lunch and study buddies and the rest was history. It was fate! :)

In 2008 he was in the US on a student visa and we were introduced at this little off-beat coffee shop I frequented. That night (a hour or so later) we saw each other again at a mutual friend's going away party and ended up talking for the rest of the night. We've been pretty much inseparable ever since. :P
