I was referring to me, myself, a man from England, as in 'not German, Russian, American or Chilean'.

I know you meant you, I just didn't know where you were from.

What was your college degree in? I'd guess Communications, Marketing, or Advertising. Mine was in Advertising. Didn't exactly get a job doing that but oh well.

One day you thought "Why not China?", and hopped on a plane?

I never realized before Kafka's sisters died in Nazi concentration camps around two decades after his own demise from tuberculosis.

Sad.

Though this is not the case for Algren, I actually do know someone who pretty much thought/did the above (though replace "China" with "Australia"). There was no external reason.

INT. MANCHESTER BAR - NIGHT

Algren finishes his eleventh pint. He sees a girl come in.

ALGREN
Oi, Shanghai! How you enjoy yer eggs: scrambled, fried, or fertilized?

She turns. Their eyes meet.

The attraction is electric.

You have me confused with a lower class character in a Guy Ritchie movie.
