Jason Barbacovi was born in the Midwest, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and then moved so far west that he actually found himself living in the Far East, which sounds more confusing than it actually is. After spending almost two years in China--including six months in Beijing, a city that has a habit of turning the unusual into an everyday occurrence--he caught a plane heading east to move back to the West, where he currently resides. Or something.
