Música, películas y libros

well, obviously I really like films which makes you think a little, my favourite realisators are Stanley Kubrick, Emir Kusturica, Takeshi Kitano... I really enjoy films like Old Boy, From Hell, Life is a miracle, A clockwork Orange, ...

For music, I enjoy reading about what's going on in pop culture as well as new, emerging artists and totally unheard of folks because you never know what you could find. I like to dabble in a bit of jazz: new sounds as well as the voices of old, classic singers. I also enjoy Acid and new Jazz, electro jazz, trip hop, lounge, chillout, and many other kinds.

Books? When I was younger I used to read a lot. Now it's a lot less because I'm busy with work and then hanging out with all my friends, but when I do sit down, I like to read things that require thought, contemplation and concentration. Funny things are great too, though!

Movies: a vast array.

Algo increíble que he hecho

In case of crazy things, I'm doing minimum a new one every week so it's hard to say, but I'll be happy to share my crazy experiences with you !!
And now my wifez is quite often my companion in crime for those.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I know a lot about solid state chemistry and could probably help with that, even on a basic level.

I've actually given some one on one courses of english and french in china, but so to say I didn't find a method to teach it correctly from zero

I really like to share the french culture and enjoy cooking a lot but not for me alone !!
