ABOUT ME

Burned out financial executive from the US, finally starting to enjoy life in this east meets west society that is HK.

I'm married (very happily), adapting to life and semi-retirment in the gateway to the east.

In addition to my website, I have quite a few videos on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/samsays?feature=guide

PHILOSOPHY

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever." - Mahatma Gandhi

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really enjoy meeting people of all ages and interests - for coffee, lunch or as a guide to some of my favorite places in my home city - which I consider the best place to live in the world.  It's a great way to stay young and to learn more about the great people who use Couch SurfingI also use CSing to get recommendations on what to see and do on my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met travelers through Hong Kong, received wonderful travel tips for my travels elsewhere

音乐、电影和书籍

I like a lot of things, music ranging from jazz (although I don't get to see much here in HK as I live out in the boonies)to pop and classical; reading (I've read a lot of books on China and Asia since I moved here from the US), and others that appeal to me that I find in the bargain shelves); watch a lot of movies on DVD, etc. etc.If you're interested, my Facebook page lists a few of the recent books and movies - you can link to it here: http://www.facebook.com/editprofile.php?sk=entertainment

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Went west until I got to the east - found the love of my life in Hong Kong where I have lived since 2003

教，学，和分享

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, and speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God!
