Hi my name is Ian and I have lived all my life is Sydney Australia. I am now married to a wonderful Chinese lady and we have decided to live for a while in Baoding China. When I met my wife she could not speak English nor I Mandarin. She is now conversant in English and I have acquired a little Mandarin. Whilst in China I would like to increase my proficiency in Mandarin. I would like to meet other expats in Baoding (if there are any). My interests are food (eating not cooking), cars, computers, reading, squash, badminton, travel, trying to keep fit and enjoying life. Having recently retired I am now interested in new possibilities.
I joined expat.com on 02 March 2013.
