Yoohoo! I am from Hong Kong but I have lived in the U.K for the majority of my life so my English is better than my Cantonese in reading, writing and speaking. I speak Cantonese fluently but of course with a smaller vocabulary than a "true" native and my reading and writing aren't quite strong as I would have liked. Anyway, please take care of me when I try (and fail) to learn Italian and Japanese. ;P I must say though, this is for recreational purposes.
