Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
**New mission: the former Eastern Bloc. Lifetime commitment: to walk good walks, eat good eats, talk good talks, drink good drinks, see good sees, laugh good laughs, and dream good dreams.
ABOUT ME
i have both hands full with exams and books, but i always have time to mess around. i love sitting in the old city market sipping beer and watching ppl walk by, even though i hate beer and am afraid of interaction with strangers. i am both taiwanese and american, but culturally im neither. i enjoy eating sushi, even though i often develop bad stomach afterward. id love to have an eventful day, but im a really lazy person. im a paradox, even though i vehemently deny it.
oh, and did i mention im quite capable of generating awkward conversations? im also apt to ignore basic writing etiquette such as using proper punctuation and grammar.
PHILOSOPHY
if i can have 1/4 of a penny for every awkward conversation i have had, i'd be a millionaire...that's not rly a philosophy...i promise i'll post something meaningful when it hits...soon hopefully :S

Witnessing a shooting star in a cold calm December night over Lake Hallstatt.
Teach, Learn, Share
i'm willing to learn anything unrelated to math, cosmology, and physics. contrary to popular belief, numbers and time space concepts are not the forte of every nerdy-looking asian male. THEY LITERALLY MAKE MY HEAD EXPLODE!!! so if you wanna save yourself a few cleaning towels or rags, feel free to not talk about them.
