One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

yes, I did. Quite a few. Happy memories, love to share, one day.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing my new found happiness in Ghent.

Riding a motorbike on bad roads. Art history, Photography, Cinema. SE Asia, past and present. Chiang Mai. Going out in Chiang Mai. Hiking around Chiang Mai. Eating with chopsticks. Eating marinated olives with chopsticks. Eating without chopsticks or cutlery. The difference between French and Belgian fries. Predicting the future through hand reading.
And most importantly: A French accent in English.
