Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Reading my first novel in Chinese, but still find the time to get out there and have fun.
ABOUT ME
Friends tell me it's easy to get along with me. I like to try out a lot of stuff, but never seem to get hooked on anything, except travelling. And I love to try out new food. You wanna dare me with anything edible?
PHILOSOPHY
Just do shit - it's probably good!
Interests
I;m into Chinese culture, like doing calligraphy and drinking Baijiu. (I'll teach you when you visit)
I've lived in quite a few cities and always felt like home. I'm a big advocate of getting to know your city. My motto is: I'm a guest in this awesome city, so out of respect, i should get to know it well. Actually, my guests always appreciate that.
That's why I like long and random walks or bike rides across town.
I dig going to concerts. (There's actually some pretty awesome bands in Shanghai!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
So many awe striking things:
Going down the Ardeche on a canoe! There was this sudden crazy storm...literally, canoes flying through the air!
Sunrise in front of Angkor Wat, from pitch black, to first shades of darkness over to a painters paradise of different colours.
And sunrise on beach in Malaysia (same as above but in amazing reds)
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a China-Tong and can share alot of stories and culture, because I don't only live here, but speak, read and write the language. It's actually quite amazing to be so within a society that's so different.
I'm trying to learn to whistle loudly without fingers. I'll share that once I've figured it out.
