While I was living in China for 10 years, I setup and ran a computer repair business for 6 years. My wife and I sold new/used computers, laptops and tablets, repaired hardware and software and performed other jobs such as virus deletion, backup and other general assistance. Our customers were mainly foreigners either living in China or travelling through, but we also dealt with a lot of Chinese customers who wanted/had software in Chinese, so I had to know my Chinese!I have a full UK manual licence with full manual CAT D. I have had my licence since 2002 and my CAT D since 2015.
