Welcome to Mike's homepage.

I have created The Chinese Idiom Database, where idioms may be searched for by the idiom (Mandarin), keyword or English meaning. Anyone can add idioms, but they must register first. Registration is not required to search for idioms using the database, however. If you know a few idioms, please register and add them.

I am a student of Waikato University, where I study a BSocSc Cognitive Science, and a GradDipArts Chinese.

On the left you will find links to various other pages within the site.

Blog of Interest is where one may find posts about things I find particularly interesting. If there hasn't been a post in a long time, chances are I've either been too busy, or nothing interesting has happened. There are a lot of photos of my trip to China, among other things.

Chinese idioms is where I will post Chinese idioms that I find particularly interesting. I will provide a more detailed explanation of the intended meaning of the idiom as well as hilarious commentary.

Web Design contains images and short descriptions of web sites that I have created. Please send me an email if you are interested in having me create your website!
