I'm an arguably over-educated Asian American. I love cats, coffee, and video games. I'm an absolute foodie. I'm a classically trained amateur pianist (mostly just out of practice).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm trying to experience something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Chopin Ballades, Liszt Rhapsodies, and Rachmaninoff Concertos.

Movies and books: I like too many of them, *but* I am not a fan of "The Great Gatsby" or "Scarlet Letter" or "Grapes of Wrath".
Currently working through "House of leaves", it is one of the most bizarre books I've encountered...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing... hmm, that's a difficult one...
I've had the good fortune to obtain a ticket to Maurizio Pollini's performance at Carnegie Hall and acquired his autograph. It was mind-blowing to meet my piano-God in person.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering... so I will teach any subject that's not in the BME field. :)
But really, I am a bit of a dilettante. I enjoy learning for the sake of gaining knowledge. I haven't figured out what to do with all that information yet, but perhaps there's something useful for everyone.
