Musik, Filme und Bücher

Movie: "Lost in translation"
Music: depends on my mood: from Phillip Glass to the Antwoord, from Bach to "while my guitar gently weeps" version with Prince. Etc etc
Books: I hardly finish a book. Have bought too many. OK: "guns, steel and germs" I finished. Loved that.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

One of my products has been used in Space for 5 years.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I can teach Chinese and Dutch.
I can teach you how to get around China and Asia. And a lot about Asian culture.

I am practising a mix of yoga, body weight training and "movement".
