My name is Ed Kim, my nickname in China is "Long". Some friends call me "The Vegan Beader" I found HappyCow courtesy of my business partner John Edmundson who calls himself "johnnysensible" here. I am a jewelry designer specializing in beadwork with gold. I carve my beads in China & Thailand. I am a strict vegan. I travel between the US & Europe & Asia for my business. I use HappyCow most days either for finding an eating place for myself, or for recommending good places to friends.
