   We built this as a very simple free habit tracker. No need to register or create an account or download anything, just set your goal and start ticking the days. Thoughts?

    You can get a regional job without Chinese language skills (what I did), or if you're a specialist in a niche field here is another way to go. Or invest and setup a new business here.
