CURRENT MISSION

To play the piano as good as I can

ABOUT ME

A bit shy but friendly person who is open to meet new friends. I have strong curiosity like a kid, and I need water, food, air, coffee and classical music to keep alive, though I'm doing IT kind of things as my job.

I like trees, flowers, mountains, gentle winds and the sea, I like all about nature, elegant and simple beauty. My favorite flower is white lily, the simplest beauty among all. What I hate and scared most is people smoking.

PHILOSOPHY

Future and the past are formed by present.

The difference of "believe" and "decline" is just one line.

Everything and every people are changing from time to time, there's nothing you can believe it will be an eternity.

We can't ensure anything, except our thinking and attitude at the momemnt.

We can't change anything, except ourselves.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled alone to several European cities in 2007. I stayed 5 nights at a friend's home in London, and 1 night at a net friend's home in Oslo. I did couchsurfing before I knew CS, so how can I refuse to join CS?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

23 May 2007. London, UK. A net friend > real friend > host > piano teacher, my good friend of a life time. We cooked, played piano and watched opera together.

4 June 2007. Oslo, Norway. Suprised to get a single bed and the whole living room to stay, very warm to eat chinese fast noodles cooked by my host after travelling nearly 3 weeks in europe without any hot rice or noodles to my stomach.

13-14 June 2009. PuLi, Taiwan. Very nice host at country side, my first time to go to farm! fantastic! The most relax and healthy days in my life.

15 June 2009. Taichung, Taiwan. My host was my saver, but it was the day in taipei.

16 -20 June 2009. Taipei, Taiwan. A big city similar to my home town, the differences may be the people, food and speaking language.

兴趣

Classical Music Definitely! My first and ever interest since 3 years old. I studied piano for 11 years and I'm still learning, and I sung in choir for over 10 years. I spent several years in music school for all-round musical training. Not only the piano, I like also cello and vocal, I'll learn them later in my life.

Reading. An old hobby since I knew how to write, I was a bookworm when I was in school, I read FIVE 2-3cm novels per week. Now I read much less than before, and they're mostly about music.

Watching TV and movie. Not limit to topic and director, a good movie and TV program are worth watching already.

Coffee. I like to drink and make a good cup of coffee, from roasting, grinding and making it in different style, I like the process, it's an art of smell and taste.

Travelling. I enjoy travelling, but I'm not addict to it, I take it as a breath to my existing life. I can travel alone, but I'm more enjoy to travel with somebody or a small group of people. A place is lovely not only because of how beautiful it is, but also the people accompany with are interesting.

Photography. It reflects the beauty from my eyes to this world, and I can share it to let others understand what is in my eyes. I don't have a DSLR camera, I'd like to get one, but it's not a must, I think the angel, color, mood and subject from your mind and eyes are the most important, a general DC can take nice pics too.
