Resumen
Sobre mí
ABOUT ME
Standing on a ferry somewhere, far away from China, just bringing me to Denmark, I was thinking of going to Shanghai – to work there or not. I did, and there I finally got to know about couchsurfing.
The photos shot there became my Chinese name, 罗天海, a man from the (western) sky and sea with the head in front of the blue sky. My job was to travel from one university in the country to the other to prevent Chinese students from being treated by a methodology which has never changed since the cultural revolution or even older times. I later heard that the name sounds a little big, perhaps it was given to me by Chinese knowing about the huge challenge ahead of me.
I am finally back in Germany, and China would be a story over a beer or two. You find me now between Bochum and Bremen, often Berlin or Brussels (all B-towns, don't know why).
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
Not for a couch, mostly. I have the weakness of liking hotels and wasting too much money for them, and feeling sometimes too old for cs. But that might change, if there will be larger couches for the elderly.
If I contact people now, just for that, or about a plane-to-train-app for the nice days still on earth, to have some fun with music and art and graphic design — or still about China. .
Language groups are fine, here and there, to keep my French alive and help a little bit my poor Dutch/Flemish. If possible, I evade to talk in English, because it is getting too much and is starting to eat up my German.
Intereses
Ethnology. If you read Nigel Barley, The Innocent Anthropologist, or ask yourself sometimes if life is somewhere out there in universe, I bring a little gift from outer space. Or from the country I just come from. Real mangos with coconut sticky rice eg.
Música, películas y libros
To visit a jazz club is always fine. If you can eat Thai papaya salat with five birdeye chiles chopped inside, please bring me to any place where they have really spicy food, invitation granted. A little walk is alwalys healthy.
