Hi Basil Come introduce yourself

Heeey Basil, so after years of posting on this forum, I have decided to formally introduce myself. Basil has been such a big part of my life that I have decided to share my story with y'all.

My name is Peter (or Chris, for those of you that know me from Maple)and this is [url=http://i39.tinypic.com/2utt95f.jpg]me[/url]. I am a 22 year old Asian American from China. I moved to the States from China when I was around 10, and lived in Boston ever since. I am currently residing in Madison, WI for my job. I work as a consultant at a Healthcare Software company.
Here are some pics of my company:

So now, more about me. Because I grew up in a traditional Chinese family, I was instilled with the idea that your family is the most important thing in this world. I love my family to death, and my ultimate goal is to have a family of my own in the future.

Oh yeah, and because I grew up eating amazing food, it definitely made me into the foodie that I am today. I literally love food more than anything else.
I like anything from [url=http://i40.tinypic.com/29wrbo.jpg]fried ice cream[/url] to [url=http://i39.tinypic.com/zuqdds.jpg]delicious froyo[/url], to [url=http://i40.tinypic.com/2n6he1d.jpg]sushi[/url], etc...

I also enjoy cooking (and I think I'm pretty good at it too). [url=http://i43.tinypic.com/dztrb5.jpg]Making hot pot[/url], [url=http://i44.tinypic.com/swbbps.jpg]my ma po tofu[/url], [url=http://i39.tinypic.com/2mx1qvl.jpg]making pork dumplings from scratch[/url]...

Aside from those, I am someone who gets bored very easily. I need to have constant variety within my life, so I travel quite a bit. I've been to most of China, Hong Kong, Macau, Tokyo, Seoul, Rome, Pompeii, Pisa, Venice, Florence, Milan, Zurich, Prague, Munich, Budapest, Geneva, Interlaken, Zermatt, Vienna, Berlin, London, Wales, Ireland, Barcelona, Madrid, and France (I think I got everything). I also like to travel within the US, from Vegas to D.C., LA to Boston, etc...

I am also a very outgoing and sociable person. It's very easy for me to make friends, because I am not afraid to put myself out there. I enjoy [url=http://i39.tinypic.com/5lqtdz.jpg]drinking[/url] and going out, and some of my favorite nighttime activities are going to [url=http://i41.tinypic.com/rhpfsz.jpg]clubs[/url] just to dance. I also love music, and I frequent [url=http://i39.tinypic.com/30ixg89.jpg]concerts[/url] and [url=http://i40.tinypic.com/ideuqx.jpg]raves[/url] pretty often.

Now don't think I am all play and no work, because I worked hard to get to where I am today. I studied hard in high school, got a full ride to a great University, graduated with a triple major, interned my ass off during summers and landed a great job. And along my journey, I've had some amazing friends by my side, and made some unforgettable memories.

I'm extremely fortunate to have amazing friends and a loving family, but at the end of the day, I'm just like any of you.

So Basil, introduce yourself and tell me your story
