Some real. Many fake 😂. But for now I’m going to stop making new friends. I have everything I need to improve my Chinese and have a great visit there in September !!!! So please accept my apologies. I’ve just simply too many people to talk to already !!! I am fifty nine years old ( I know!!! Old right lol) married with three grown up children. I only visited mainland China one time in 1992. But have been playing with 中文 for many many years. I have travelled to many many countries across the world. Mostly for work. ## About - **Age**: 60 - **Location**: Leinster, Ireland ## Languages ### Native Language **English** ### Learning - **Chinese** (Level 2) ## Interests & Hobbies Swimming, Mountain Biking ## Career & Education **Occupation**: Sales Manager **Education**: College if marketing and design ## Travel **Hometown**: Sandyford **Places to Visit**: China, Japan ## Community Stats - **Followers**: 54 - **Following**: 41 - **Moments**: 21 - **Language Exchange Sessions**: 0 - **Learning Points**: 469 - **Corrections Made**: 7 ## Recent Moments 1.
