*** Update in Sept '17 - I'll be traveling in Central Europe from 8 Sept to 25 Oct to Berlin, Belgrade, Milan, Naples, Prague, Budapest ***

I'm basically a capital person, I feel more comfortable in downtown of metropolitan cities. Instead of typical tourism attraction, I rather spend time in discovering what's sold at local super market to guess lifestyle and preference of local people. I enjoy conversation with local people, thus I prefer countries or cities where I can carry conversation in Mandarin or English.

Although I studied Business in College, I've been interested in Psychological Anthropology, specially about India. Accumulatively and physically I've spent 7 years during recent 18 years in India. No mention I ever worked for Indian companies for 3 years of my 6-year in Indonesia. I've spent recent 5 years in Delhi with occasional 3-month short stay in Manhattan or Taiwan for work.

Some friends call me good coordinator and/or social butterfly. I love networking with ex-colleague or ex-customer whenever I'm in Hong Kong, and my best record is having 5 one-to-one appointments during 13hrs transit. I enjoy my like-minded friend circle in Delhi with a good mixture of Indian and European friends.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

During May 2017 in Honolulu, Hawaii, by mistake I went hiking for 1st time on an amazing but risky trail, where I discovered I was emotionally, mentially and physically tougher than what I had thought of myself.

I was supposed to be on a running trail with a group of runners. I got lost and ended up finding myself caught in dilemma on such magically beautiful but narrow mountain ridge over slope for total 7 hrs. I encountered 6 ropes and had no choice but to use ropes for the 1st time in my life climbing up and down over 45' to 85' almost vertical slopes.

Hiking on a trail like this one is not only demanding physically emotionally, and mentally. It involves dealing with complexity by swiftly deciding strategies and skills. I had so much inner dialogue and self-observation whenever I felt challenged along the trail.

I made a return just before a real big robe when 5 hikers tried to convince me to return with them during big drop of rain and strong wind. That point I was climbing up with robe in midway on 90' angle. I felt so much bitterness and hoped to call a helicopter to rescue me. My calf muscles were gone. I went down by sliding down with hips, or by grabbing and migrating my body weight to still useful arm muscles.

At one critical moment I was almost slipping off the slippery knife edge. By pure luck, my right palm grabbed a slim tree when I stretched up my right arm without even aiming anything. I could ironically die or get serious injured just the day next to my milestone birthday.

So glad I survive during that life threatening experience. I don't understand why the other hikers look were so casual by their spirit and equipments. The trail rewards me with full of wonderful views and sounds of birds for sure!

*** Important message to male surfers interested in requesting a stay at my place in Delhi. ***

For obvious safety reason in Delhi, I only host and screen female surfers. Since I joined couch surfing, daily I receive request from Indian male surfer for a stay in my place. Instead of being responsive and declining one by one, I hope this message help all of us to divert our time and energy toward something better. I stay with a male and a female flatmates, so I dislike to risk bothering them with safety concern by hosting males surfers, both Indians and Non-Indians. Below websites FYI.
