The Tygrrrr Express
A politically conservative and morally liberal Hebrew alpha male hunts left-wing viper
Cynthia has lived, studied, worked and parented in more than a dozen cities in four continents. Born in the Philippines, she is of Chinese heritage -- although she has never been to China, unless we count a few stopovers in Hong Kong -- and is now a Japanese citizen living in New York City.
She has a hard time answering the question, "Where are you from?" She likes to think of herself as a nomad, or even a hermit crab, toting her home around on her back.
Even while traveling all over the world, Cynthia was able to raise a fantastic daughter -- kind, easy-going, and with admission offers from Harvard, Yale and Princeton, to boot! Right now, she's looking forward to attending her daughter's college graduation in the spring, but in the meantime, she is keeping busy, taking classes at the French Culinary Institute, and offering seminars on international parenting and child-rearing in general.
