I prefer to be called Michael, not Professor/Mister Nusbaum. So if you see me on the street and want to say hello, you can say, “Hi Michael”. I enjoy learning Mandarin Chinese as well as promoting English education. If you want to travel and learn about the world outside your country’s borders, then I encourage you to learn more English. One famous and favorite encouraging quote is as follows: “Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy” (Mahatma Gandhi). Additionally, the photograph above shows me sipping a mango shake on one of the Philippines most pristine beaches.
