Bucket List

Updated on August 30, 2024.

Overseas Travel

I have lived about roughly 20 years outside of the US before returning home.

Visit Japan More Often - I want to spend at least three months per year in Japan. I can work remotely with my IT position.
Speak Japanese - I do not want to be fluent, but I want to know enough to speak to my Japanese relatives.
Visit my Kazakh Host Family - I really do miss my Kazakh sisters and even the young Kazakh brother. Gulzhan makes the best lagman. I had to cancel my August 2024 trip to Kazakhstan for security reason.
Visit Jamaica - I visited Jamaica in July 2024. Photos will be posted here.
Visit Vietnam every 2-3 years - I am curious to see how the country will change.

Setup an IT related startup - I still have this passion.
Create my own health/fitness app - I will explain more in this blog. Before I started with my current position, I was working on my fitness app.
Create my own LLM to help students learn English - A dream.
Write a short novel - I keep starting, I never get back two chapters.
Write my own book - Same as above.
