CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I made a graduation trip to Europe in 2005, since then, im in love with traveling. To me, traveling is the way to get to know more the world, others and myself. To realize the insufficiency and crave to know more.

i believe sometimes we need to distance ourselves from our original places, so we get the whole picture of them, and to have introspection of ourselves.

No matter you come cross the places by chance or for some particular reasons, they are both wonderful.

I went to
paris/berlin/Geneva for Le Corbusier, I like his works.
Prague for Milan Kundera, to visualize his novels.
Poland for Szymborska and the concentration camps, to trace the history.
England for music - leonard cohen concert and indietrack festival.
some places for films, Venice for “before sunrise”, Paris for “before sunset”.

I hope I can go to India to learn dyeling and xinjiang to see the stars somedays.

This year im going to stick with EU again, to revisit some places, and to explore new places. Im so looking forward to it! ;)

PHILOSOPHY

simple living, high thinking. i like the idea of Taoism.
