CURRENT MISSION

Figure out what a phenomenologistic approach to cosmopolitanization means

ABOUT ME

England has just become the fifth country I'll call home when I bore my grandchildren with old tales! The other four are China, Singapore, the US and Japan. But I'm Chinese by nationality, and that means getting to collect many fancy looking visas in my passport! One always has to look on the bright side, no?
