    Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Binye, I’m French. My French name is Pierre Ly. I am 34 years old. I am a professor at the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA, where I teach political economy. I enjoy playing tennis and running, as well as doing research on wine.

    Now I’d like to introduce you to my wife. Her name is Cynthia, she’s American. We got married in 2008. We both like cooking and drinking wine! Like me, Cynthia is a professor and she teaches political economy at the University of Washington Tacoma. She is interested in African political economy. We both have a lot of students, so we are very busy, and also a bit tired. Cynthia speaks excellent French. When we are in the US, we speak English most of the time, but when we are in France, we speak French with my family. Cynthia and I don’t speak French to each other very often, though we sometimes do when we are in France.

    Cynthia and I both love studying Chinese. We’re both first year Chinese students! We often practice speaking Chinese in our car. I think Chinese exams are fun, but Cynthia thinks I’m crazy! Last summer we went to China to do some research. During our time there, we conducted research on the Chinese wine industry. This field of research is very interesting and fun, but also very difficult.

    Finally, let me introduce you to my French family, which includes my dad, my mom, my younger brother and me. My dad is Vietnamese, and he works in Toulouse, France, as a psychiatrist. My mom also lives in Toulouse but she is originally from Bordeaux. She is a teacher but is now retired. My younger brother lives in Vietnam, he is 31 years old and his wife is Vietnamese. He teaches French and English, and can also speak Vietnamese. He likes to play tennis, and I like to play with him.

    In my family, we all like cooking and drinking wine!
