ABOUT ME
Heyya everyone ! My name is Nathan (ネイサンさん :p)

I'm Chinese, born and lived my whole life in New Zealand.
I love to meet and talk to people from various backgrounds! I have a great sense of humour and just interested in learning other people's culture since NZ is a tiny place and would like to go out more haha.
My native language is English. I speak a little bit of Cantonese and also learnt Japanese in high school.
I've been interested in Japan since I was 11. I studied Japanese for about 3 years in high school but my Japanese is poor now as I have not practiced in awhile :x

Travelling is one of my favourite activities as to experience in another culture is so awesome!
I have been to Japan 4x, China/HK 4x, South Korea and Hawaii.

My hobbies/interests are languages, cultures, games, films, music, drawing/media design, PC, cooking, hanging out and meeting new people, exploring etc.
