Hey guys! I'm Alex and I'm a Chinese New Zealander born in Hong Kong and brought up in kiwiland since I was seven. I studied Accounting, Law, and Japanese in University of Auckland and I've been been working in industries completely unrelated to my studies ever since. I've been a barrister, car mechanic, English teacher, and now in Beijing as a market researcher. I've lived in Hong Kong, NZ, Japan and Beijing and speak four languages, English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Japanese (in order of fluency). My favourite hobby is fixing cars. Nothing beats coming back home from work and working on my car...it's the best remedy for stress and pressure in my opinion. Anyways, that's me in a nutshell. Looking forward to meeting you!
