CURRENT MISSION

Like Alexander the Great, I want to conquer the world and unify it under one flag!

ABOUT ME

Intelligent, appreciating Chinese culture, more often polite than not, determined to reach any goal I want.

PHILOSOPHY

Never discredit a culture. Because its sole existence proofs it to be a viable option for humans to survive and thrive.

Music, Movies, and Books

For now I'm into Chinese movies (1911 Revolution, To Live, The Warlords, Ip Man), always have an ear for powerful music for once and jazz at other times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One life changer was a trip through the alps with my motorcycle I still had this time. In six days I travelled through six countries. The sheer impression of powerful mountains and the feeling of complete freedom may have led me towards a big and important decision in life.
If to think about it, I can see that big mountains and a wide view on earth in general gives me the chills... hmm, that must be why I start to learn hang gliding now, lol.

Now I'm here in China, which is a childhood dream come true. I'm fond of the culture and the very different attitude toward social life.
