About Me

I'm an easygoing and say, unorganized sometimes.
but so far I could have managed myself working at Japanese company,
which is said one of the most organized and not-easygoing place in the world.
Jogging or Karaoke for destressing :D

Being rough in private.
Once I shared room with a russian guy. One day he went to buy toiletries and I was with him.
He was very careful to select his shampoo, conditioner and skincare staffs and
asked me to translate and explain their function and effects written in Japanese.
Well, I couldn't, not because of the language difficulty but I had no idea how they are different.
I only know "soap is soap".
He laughed at me saying "I thought Japanese guys are way more careful about one's looking"
I laughed at him that "I thought Russian guys are way more wild"
It was funny moment.

Interests

walking, cycling, boat driving, anonymous small paths, aged buildings (not necessarily historical fame), rivers, channels, railways....etc

Music, Movies, and Books

My music preference is really random. Some my favorite groups are in the genre of Electro, Jazz, Pop, with jaunty rhythm, bit of sadness in melody...
Deep forest, Duft Punk, Pat Methney, Keith jarrett, Clean bandit, Odesza...etc.

Books;
A big fan of Jared diamond's "Collapse".
"Tonko (Dun-Huang in Mandarin)" by Hisashi Inoue, which describes a slice of glittering moment of Silk Road history, lead me a trip from Beijing to Uyghur.
