Meet Billy and Rocky. Ok, those are their adopted western names, really they are Zhou Yiyang and Luo Jia from Xiamen, China. Billy and Rocky are studying to become pilots. For approximately 11 months they will live and study in Tucson, Arizona, to obtain their pilot’s licenses before returning to Xiamen. Gautam, an old friend of ours is one of their flight instructors; he brought them up to Phoenix for their brief visit. We had the chance to exchange blog addresses (here’s Billy’s) and I learned that, just as in Japan, Korean culture is very popular in China right now. The guys were surprised to find out my wife and I enjoy the films of Chan-wook Park who made Oldboy and that we loved the film Na Shan Na Ren Na Gou from Huo Jianqu, also known as Postmen in the Mountain. Good luck guys and enjoy your stay in America.
