Sure.
So I grew up in LA, east side of LA, which is Los Angeles.
We call it the San Gabriel Valley.
It's really, really predominantly Asian.
Now, you know, when I was growing up, it was about 50-50.
Now it's like 80-50.
80, 20.
Um, the other half was Hispanic.
So we grew up right alongside the Mexicans, um, Salvadorians, you know, Hispanic people.
Um, and yeah, it was, it was very poverty stricken at that time.
I grew up in some project housing.
Um, I don't know if you guys have that out there in Scotland, but yeah, they call them the flats out there or whatever.
Right.
So, um, yeah, same thing, government funded housing, gangs, drugs, violence everywhere.
And, um,
We were living, me, my brother, my mom, and my father.
Typical traditional Chinese household.
Father was dictator, ran everything.
But at the same time, mother was very submissive, very peaceful.
