Brushing up on my Chinese because we recently moved back to Taiwan.

Finding some new brain-stimulating activities for the oldest kiddo and me to do together.

Riding my bike more. I want to bike commute every day (weather permitting) soon, and eventually take some longer rides (50km+). This is part of a more general "getting in shape" project I suppose.

Improving my hiring skills because I need to build a new product team at the office and I've made some bad hires.

Finishing a technical project for work. I actually get to code this one, which is refreshing b/c this job is mostly management.

Contributing to Hubski. I've lurked for a long time.

What about you @thenewgreen ?

In Manila. Are you looking in Taiwan though?

Taiwanese dreams... Taiwanese dreams...

I visited my parents there while I was in college. It's holds a completely romantic place in my heart... I dream of going to work there for a while... unfortunately, my mandarin is GARBAGE, and I have way too many kids to be able to afford to live there.

If you ever make the move, hit me up.

The good news is Taipei in general and the tech industry here in particular seem to have better English than say 10 years ago. I found a co-working space and almost everyone speaks pretty passable English.
