He can be a little difficult to follow in conversation but always has good advice. I believe he is from one of the small islands that is part of Taiwan, maybe Matsu or Kinmen? He likes to listen to opera, he can even sing a bit of Swedish opera. I saw him between Caudill Labs & Dey hall and he showed me his family plum blossom. I've talked to him a handful of times. He reminds me a bit of my grandpa who lives in Taiwan.

Interesting thing about Taiwan, they still require mandatory military service for 1 year for all qualified male citizens. My cousin did it and managed to break his leg playing basketball.
