Every adult Canadian-born Chinese, whom I've known and who has tried to learn to speak Mandarin later in life, read and write basic Chinese, truly struggled. And these are folks like me, equipped with an eroded Cantonese /Cantonese dialect.
Enjoy it now....The English language (written & spoken) can look abit dull, not as poetic in word derivation, once one starts venturing into other linguistic worlds. (I hope no one attacks me here: I did take 3 years of Latin in high school.)
I am cycling more but even now I limit my time on the bike daily. Life isn't just all about cycling.
Bike-commuting even a few times to work really helped over the years. I figured my health was greater priority over a perfectly neat home.
Still our home isn't neat as it used to be a few years ago.
