China was his main interest, Tai Chi, Chinese philosophy, Chinese girls, so he learned Mandarin to fluency and moved to China. Got involved, fell in love, but back in Israel for good now.

He wrote an article about Shenzhen, and it became the cover story of the most prestigious newspaper in Israel. He tried to keep the momentum, but felt he wasn't actually very good at business. Then Covid shut that all down.

He speaks Hebrew, English, Chinese, and Arabic as a hobby. He spent six months in India, too, Himachal Pradesh and Hampi, playing sitar and doing yoga. He's now interested in what's going on in Saudi Arabia with MBS. Also likes Turkey.

The flight from Israel to India used to be much longer because they weren't allowed to fly over Saudi Arabia, Iran, or Emirates.

Working at the VC fund of a friend. Most LPs are from Thailand, investing in Israeli and Swedish technology.

Sinai is one of the most amazing places in the world, beautiful sea, clear water, colorful fish.
