Kitchen Chinese

1. My parents have thought about moving back to china many times. The reason for that is because, we have many family members over there, and culture difference here.  I personally have thought about moving back to China couple times, but the only reason for that is because of my family there. I've been in the America since I was 7 so, I've lived here for most of my life.
2. I think the author use the title Kitchen Chinese is because, many Chinese people that came to America from China that works/owns a restaurant only knows the basic English like what the food is called.
3. No. I do not think that the younger have to live up to the perfection of the elder nor do I think that the younger have to do what the elder wishes she could do. Yes, I personally do think that Chinese parents have different expectations for their children then most American parents. For an example most of the Chinese parents don't want their kids to date anyone until they are out of school however, most of the American parents don't really care if their kids are dating or not.
4. In my opinion, the best way to learn about or understand a foreign place or culture is to go to that country and live there. That way you can see how people live day to day basses
5.Yes I have felt like a fish out of water socially, culturally. Like many Americans celebrate Christmas and my family don't celebrate it. I adapt by telling myself that everyone is different and just because, some of my friends do something don't mean I have to do it and many people also don't do it.
6. Yes I in my experience this is a widespread stereotype of American people. I form my opinion of other people by first getting to know who they are and being their friend.
