I am Jack, married with two boys. I've always been looking for new and exciting experiences. Life is short, my to-do list is long. I've just decided to visit 100 countries before I turn 50. (so far only three though, USA, South Korea, Japan.）Before I go anywhere, I would spend some time learning the language first. So far I could speak fluent English, conversational Korean, a little bit of Japanese. Very little Spanish. And I started learning French, German and Russian. I even learned a few Turkish sentences. I can't stop myself from learning languages. I believe the best way to communicate with another soul is to talk in their mother tongue. And my another mission in life is to learn to speak at least 10 languages, including Chinese Mandarin, Chinese Cantonese, English, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi and so on. Traveling and talking to natives in their language, how cool would it be!

Intereses

I am a big fan of languages.

I am a HUGE bookworm. I have tons of books. I spent $500 to $1000 on books each year, printed or ebooks. Because of my proposal, our school started a book club this year and I find many people sharing the same interest.

Besides, I love doing sports. I used to play pingpong, soccer, basketball, volleyball and pool. Nowadays, I am playing badminton, swimming and doing some running. Bye the way, doing sports is another good way to meet people and keep fit.
