I love learning about Chinese culture both real and mythological. I am learning some mandarin on the side and hope to take a trip to mainland China someday.

Fighting games and Riichi Mahjong.
Believe it or not, this venn diagram has enough overlap that we've got a running joke about how Riichi is becoming the new FGC Retirement Home. We've even got a few people bringing tiles to every major tournament to unwind before/after brackets. I've booked my trip to Frosty Faustings next month, signed up for six different brackets and I'll try in squeeze in as much 'jong as I can too.
Initially thought I didn't have one, because I was thinking it had to be, like, things you do or whatever. Like wood carving or building something. Then I realized I absolutely do. Lol
Philosophy and religious studies. Non dualism especially, but honestly, I just love learning about different philosophical ideas. I love Anthropology in general, and the differences and similarities between disparate cultures is downright fucking fascinating. People tend to think that the differences in, say, Hinduism and Christianity are pretty great, and they absolutely can be, but if you dive into the deep thinkers of either tradition you tend to find that oftentimes they're trying to say the same things.
Cryptography. If something exists, its very existence conveys something or is about to.
