About Me

ABOUT ME

I am friendly and easy-going, freelance translator/interpreter (when time allows). I like to try different, new and exciting things.

Dreams that I plan to make come true: walk along the Silk Road from China all the way to Europe (that's really way too ambitious, I even dare not say it out aloud. I don't know if I can make it one day. It just sounds like a crazy bragging about the impossibles. But, who knows, maybe one day I'll do it, walking along the ancient road which used to be the only way that connect the East and the West.) I hope I can have my own tea shop, a traditional tea shop where tea is served in a very traditional Chinese way.

Maybe there is something else....

PHILOSOPHY

I believe culture is not a given, it is learnt and constructed.

Interests

I live in Manchester UK. I love to go to movies, experiment on Chinese cuisine, and hiking (depend on the weather). Also interested in reading , exploring and learning from different cultures. Currently learning about Chinese traditional tea and English literature (if my research allows me extra time).
