I'm doing an MA in Mandarin Chinese because I apparently like to get in way over my head.

I mostly go around with my headphones on and a book in my hand, paying extra insurance against being hit by a car in traffic. If by some horrible accident I don't have those on me, I'll strike up a conversation with somebody in the queue or in the seat next me on a plane/train.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Because some very nice people told me it's a great way to meet other very nice people much like them. I mostly travel alone, so any new VNP in a new town would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I've never done this.

I kind of wish I could start by hosting, but living in Shanghai makes that almost impossible. At least it is for me at the moment. But I used to have friends and friends of friends crash on my couches before, and that was brilliant.

音乐、电影和书籍

Anything by Parov Stelar or The Bambi Molesters

I don't have a favourite movie, unless we go by what I've seen more then ten times: Home Alone and Gremlins

Books? Oooh, there be many...

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once opened a huge bar of lindt chocolate and only had one piece. Such restraint. So proud.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to whistle one tune.

I would like to learn how to whistle other stuff too.

Share all the whistling! But only for like ten minutes because it quickly gets annoying. :)

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Whatever I have with me.

Sharing T-shirts while wearing them might be impractical, but it would sure be a fun night at a bar!
