ABOUT ME
I hate to talk about myself, sad but true :(
I always think i must be the most boring person on earth, even though most people seem to disagree.
here's was my "professional website". I changed jobs now and work in finance in the busy town of frankfurt
PHILOSOPHY
Well if anything, then the books of Julien on the philosophical differences between ancient chinese and greek philosophy influenced greatly the way i see life, especially in the decision making process, as well as on concept as efficiency or time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
surfed a few places in New York, Germany, France as well as in Japan. I had a few surfer at my place while i was living in Münster writing my thesis.
Interests
Math, asian movies (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, HK, Taiwanese, Thai etc, so far no Indian movies), classical music (there is nothing i love more then going to a concert, it's just fabulous).
Electronic music grows on me recently. I'm clubbing more and more, i like to travel to see good DJ's :)
I also listen to japanese independent Rock and japanese oldies. For a not quite accurate picture of my current musical taste you can check my last.fm profile: http://www.last.fm/user/skl8em
I am interested in almost all things academic, though international law, intellectual property, individual rights and liberty and other related political problems are a subject that interest me a lot.
Web 2.0 and associated things, somehow i think it will change society(take couchsurfing for example) and how we understand interpersonal relations, and i'm kinda thrilled by that change :)
