ABOUT ME

here some fractions:

i have skype!!!

maestrrra

I belong to the happy creatures, who love their job! music is my passion!
besides music I love to learn languages, even exotic ones (proud owner of books in oshiwambo, ukranian, czech,..)
and i'm learning Khasi, the language of Meghalaya, North East India.
I like about Austria mainly the dialect and the (black) humour..
I sometimes enjoy to break tabus, even religious ones, it's never ment offensivly.
I believe that political corectness can be boring and sometimes functions as replacement of ones own thinking. In the same moment i try to be p.c. one of many contradictions :-)
I dislike in Austria it's provincialism, of wich prevents me mainly CS and the rest of the internet.
my home towns are/were in chronological order:
Steyr, Vienna, Karlovy vary, Hradec Kralove, Erfurt, Linz, Sibiu, Vöcklabruck.

5 Years in the Czech Republic,(playing cello in orchestras) 2 in Romania,(freelancing conductor and saving cats from the strrets) 2 in germany - one learns a lot.
I like to take part in social/musical projects such as sonidos de la tierra.
I adore sculptures.
there is no country, wich i would not love to visit.
mountains, animals,views,forms of live..all is interesting to me.

PHILOSOPHY

give me time, please,
here is one important point. since we are so many people, we cannot eat meat, waste water,behave like in former times..it wan't go well..
I believe in fair trade as part of the solution.
