Open for new things and new people. I enjoy doing something challenging. I think this is enough reason why I start CS, isn't it? After finishing ph.d. in Tokyo, I moved to Germany and started working in scientific field an University in Karlsruhe.

I enjoy trying something new, especially in extreme outdoor/fitness.
What I have challenged recently is,
- Biking around Taiwan (1100km!)
- Climbing mountain (Mt. Okuho, 3190m) by camping
- Running a half marathon
- Traveling Czech and Austria by bike
