Mark, an American inkophile in China
I'm a 29 year old American currently living in Xiamen, Fujian Province, China. I came to China in August 2005 as an English teacher with the intention of seeing the sites and sampling a new country and culture for a year, then heading back stateside to begin my post-college life. As fate would have it, I had such a blast that I decided to stay another year, and then another, and then another, until now I find myself with a beautiful Chinese wife, a great job at Xiamen University TKK College, a comfortable home, a super-cute chihuahua named Morty, and a baby boy named Nolan.
I enjoy tattoos, art in general, heavy metal music, films of all genres, cooking, and spending time with my family. I love the ocean and sunshine, and I think I'm in a really great place in my life right now. Who knows what tomorrow will bring, but I know what I've got right now, and that's what I'm going to enjoy.
