Most people reading this know me, but in case you don't, here's the lowdown so far: I'm Elaine - I'm an Asian American expat brat who first moved out of the States at 4 & first hit up China at 13. Since then, I've been in & out of New York & Shanghai, mostly blogging.

Things I've got:
Twitter | Last.fm | Flickr | Shanghaiist | Elaine is Eating

Stuff I focus on a lot, categorized:
Girl Talk - feminism & women's issues
Food Talk - food & cooking
China - it's a big place
Elaine Talk - personal internet journal
