ABOUT ME

once somebody from northern Canada told me I'm a "north-type" which felt for me like the greatest thing somebody can say about somebody.

PHILOSOPHY

...eine "gewisse chinesische Enzyklopädie", in der es heißt, daß "die Tiere sich wie folgt gruppieren: a) Tiere, die dem Kaiser gehören, b) einbalsamierte Tiere, c) gezähmte, d) Milchschweine, e) Sirenen, f) Fabeltiere, g) herrenlose Hunde, h) in diese Gruppierung gehörige, i) die sich wie Tolle gebärden, k) die mit einem ganz feinen Pinsel aus Kamelhaar gezeichnet sind, l) und so weiter, m) die den Wasserkrug zerbrochen haben, n) die von weitem wie fliegen aussehen".

(Jorge Luis Borges, 1966, zit in Foucault)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had really good experiences. dont want to miss anybody I got to know via couchsurfing. and there are situations were its so helpful. e.g. when my sister and me got some troubles with the flight to tromso - we would arrive there at 1 am. I wrote from Oslo airport in the hope somebody could help me finding a place to sleep. just 1 hour later I got answers with help and really somebody offered us a couch! that was so amazing.

Music, Movies, and Books

movies: do you know Tarkowski? I love him.

music: any kind of music, if its good :) I actually don't listen often to music - only when I'm going out. I hate "background-music". I play in an orchestra - so that's the best of all

Haven't read a "real" book for long time. only that stuff for university. the last real book was probably "Käpten Blaubär."

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to play viola and to fix a bike. and I think am a quite good guide if you want to see Vienna.

I would love to enhance my tiny language skills, especially Russian and Finnish.
