音乐、电影和书籍

i'm pretty open-minded about music and i make it a habit to seek out new music wherever i travel. lately i've been listening to paco de lucia, the naked and famous, devotchka, the head and the heart, and world's end girlfriend (just to name a few).

i love to read classic lit, history and other non-fiction. i'm currently in the middle of balkan ghosts. some of my all time favorite authors are oscar wilde, hemmingway and nabokov.

i'm addicted to documentary films though i'll watch (and enjoy) just about anything. some of my fav movies would have to be amelie, everything is illuminated and, yes, i'll admit it, amadeus.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

1. climbing the glaciers in el calafate, argentina;
