  • 有什么想对世界说的

    I'm just looking for anyone to have a chat with.
    Any shared interests?
    Speak English?

  • 我总是喜欢谈论……

    How about a round of random questions?
    I also love hearing a good story from someone. It doesn't have to have the makings of a novel. Even if your just bitching about something that happened at work.

  • 我曾去过的国家和城市

    Short trips to England, Scotland, Germany.
    I was in the US for a summer.
    I was in Australia for about a year.

  • 我最骄傲的成就

    Completing this list of questions.
    Quitting smoking.

  • 我对其他文化的兴趣

    Nothing specific. Just looking for a chat

  • 我是……的专家

    Nothing so far, but I'm working on that.

  • 个人挑战

    I used to say quitting smoking, but maybe changing my diet was harder.

  • 最喜欢的书籍/作者/电影

    Too many to name...
    I like Sci-fi/fantasy, comedy, thriller in both books and movies. Occasionally non-fiction for books.
    I don't read that much but I listen to audiobooks regularly.

  • 在国外居住一年

    A few years ago I wanted to go to either South Korea or Japan for work. Teaching English as a foreign language. In the end I didn't go, which I sort of regret now.

  • 让世界变得更美好

    Everybody needs to be more like me
    I'm joking of course. Sometimes I think that's what peoples answers to these kind of questions boil down to.
    I don't know how to make the world a better place, Maybe with free t-shirts.

  • 个人技能

    Public speaking. I was actually a member of a group called Toastmasters, which practiced public speaking. It was fun.
    I'm not sure how well that skill holds up today though.

  • 童年的欢乐

    Saturday.
    There's Saturday morning cartoons. No school. It was one day of the week I got to have what I wanted for dinner.

    Also, dinosaurs.

  • 我最近学会了……

    Can't think of anything. I guess I learnt that I need to do more learning

  • 10年后

    I'm not sure where I see myself. I wonder if we'll all be living half our lives in virtual reality in 10 (or 20) years.
    Just please not under lockdown.

  • 我对……感到兴奋

    Meeting more people online

  • 我的与众不同之处

    My fingerprints

  • 过去更好

    We all look back and think of better or simpler times, but they did have their own problems. I look back now and 2019 feels that way.
    But my parents generation bought their houses much easier.

  • 现在更好

    Something that's improved is technology. Communication, computer games etc.

  • 我希望人们知道更多，关于……

    Maybe their own point of view.
    I think people often have opinions or beliefs handed to them by others without questioning them. They might go years without wondering why they believe what they believe.
    BTW I don't think I'm the only one who is immune to this! But I think if your beliefs are important to you then maybe you should question them.

  • 作为一个孩子，我希望……

    I wish I hadn't worried what others thought of me. After all they're only kids.
    I also wish I'd actually done my homework and studied occasionally.

  • 没有障碍的事业

    If I could pick any career I'd probably become an engineer of some kind. Just because I have a bit of a technical mind.

  • 父母和我

    I used to believe I was very different from my parents, but the older I get the more I think I'm like my parents. Both my mother and father.

  • 我对未来的感想

    I try to be optimistic about the future. As a sci=fi fan I look to the future and try to think of some of the cool technology (being used responsibly).
    There is a sort of creeping authoritarianism around the world that makes me feel not so optimistic.
    Try to stay focused on the positive stuff.

  • 我对人性的看法

    I'm not sure being good and being selfish are mutually exclusive.
    I think that good selfless acts are rare.
    When we're good to someone it's kind of expected to be repaid. We're usually within our own social circles. It's like we're proving ourselves to be a valuable member of our group.

  • 我感到担心……

    That my laptop battery will run out before I find the charger

  • 一个诀窍或建议

    Don't believe everything you're told.

  • 生命中的遗憾

    I regret things all the time. Maybe most regrettable is all the time I've spent regretting things.

  • 完善学校制度

    "It's a miracle that curiosity survives formal education." Einstein
    I'd like to see lessons move at the speed of the children learning them, rather than the speed of the school system.

  • 高估或低估

    Facebook is overrated.
    AdBlock is underrated.
