CURRENT MISSION

See the world. Experience new culture.

ABOUT ME

Humble & quiet (till there is a travel tale to swap) person, avid trekker (national parks & rainforests!)...good listener!!!

PHILOSOPHY

Take the middle path.

MEET UP

I am working near Chinatown and if you are up for it, i can show you to the my favourite foodie places near my office. That includes chicken rice (colonial coffee shop but sometimes have to wait for table in chinatown), mee rebus (colonial coffee shop near central market), chapati (colonial shop) or curry mee (alleyway in chinatown). The costs per bowl is between USD1.50-USD2.

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment, lots of tv series from comedy to drama like Big Bang Theory, Community, Walking Dead, Alphas, New Girl, The Killing, Men At Work, etc. Music? still dwelling in 80s Brit indie stuff like Sundays, Stone Roses, Cocteau Twins, etc. Japanese indie such as Sonic Coaster Pop, Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, Kahimi Karie, Advantage Lucy, EeL, 800 Cherries, etc. US Alternative music from Yo La Tengo, Guided By Voices, Built To Spill, etc. Movies - some of my favourites i can think of including Lost In Translation, Watchmen, Dark Knight...and all BBC Nature documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Madagascar's fauna holds a special place in my 'Most Amazing' list. India's cultural smorgasbord is another eye-opener. Angkor Wat & Mrauk U are architectural wonders.

Teach, Learn, Share

Would love to know other CSers culture and their way of life in their own cities. I can share the same as well.
