Dennis Nieh (聶雲) is a household name here in Taiwan. He’s a famous TV and radio host and owns a food brand. But Dennis actually grew up in San Jose, California. He talks to us about his memories of fishing with his father, great seafood places in the Bay Area, and the beginnings of Silicon Valley.

Kevin Kallmyer is a Political Officer at AIT. Even though he’s from the East Coast, he shares Dennis’ love for fishing. He’s never been to San Jose, so he’s excited to hear Dennis talk about the city and offer some tips on where to go for his visit.
