My name is Stephen Padilla and I come from Los Angeles California. I am 27 years old and this is the first time that I’ve been to China. I think that China is a really beautiful country and the people are great. I love basketball. It is my favorite sport and my favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers. I’ve seen them play a few times in person and it was awesome. I don’t speak any other language beside English. However, I would like to learn Chinese language and culture while I’m here in Dongguan.
