Expatriate Canadian living in China, plan to stay in Asia indefinitely. I've lived in Zhuhai, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Nanjing, and now Shanghai.

Many of my contributions here are in Asia. Back in the 70s, I travelled Istanbul to New Delhi over land. I've also lived and worked in Iran, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. I've listed myself as a docent for various areas I have lived in. Contact me via my talk page or email.

I also like working on travel topic articles. Two that are almost entirely by me are Retiring abroad and On the trail of Marco Polo. I also started Grand old hotels and contributed quite a lot to Teaching English.

I am also Pashley on Sensei's Library [1] the Wiki about the game of Go, though I'm a weak player. I'm registered on Wikipedia, but almost never edit there; the Great Firewall sometimes blocks it. I'm more active on Citizendium [2]. I am also on the WIkimedia Foundation site [3].

Lately, I mostly work as an English teacher. At other times, I've been a hacker, doing more-or-less every computer job at one time or another, mainly training and technical writing. My last project was documentation for FreeS/WAN [4], a Linux implementation of IPsec.

A friend (User:AmazingChinaTravel) runs a rather good China tour agency and I sometimes help out there with web things.
