Angie Eagan, like many long-term residents, came to China on a three-week trip in 1995, and has lived and worked in the country since. Deeply involved with the community, she served two years as the Chairman of the Board of the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, and co-founded a charity race in Outer Mongolia (http://www.ultramongolia.org) to support sustainable tourism in Lake Hovsgul National Park. Angie is the General Manager of an American company in China. Rebecca Weiner spent 11 years in China, including five years in Shanghai. She has now returned to the United States to live with her husband Mike Rastelli and their daughter Sarah, but is always up for return visits to the land of zongzi and jazz
