Short Biography

Please refer to below items for my education, experiences, etc. :):):)

I am a traveling fan and have visited cities in the USA, the UK, UAE., Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Norway, Holland, Spain, Japan and Malaysia. I also visited cities in Taiwan, which is a part of my GREAT home country: China :):):) . Among all of the cities that I have visited, I like two cities the most: Las Vegas in the evening and Sydney. I like climbing mountains and swimming in the sea. I enjoy the achievement feeling and the natural scenery when I am at the peaks; I like being pushed by waves when I swim in the sea:).
