CURRENT MISSION Discover new things, people and places. ABOUT ME I lived in Kazakhstan most of my life (yes, Borat country), and there are more than a hundred nations out there, believe it or not, so I got to know different cultures - occidental and oriental pretty well, which I'm happy about. I love arts and cultures. Theater, literature, cinema, photography - all these things I find extremely interesting. I'm more into minimalistic art though, and absolutely interested in ancient historical events and productions as well as in contemporary concepts and plays. I also love sports. I love contemporary dance and jogging. If you have read Haruki Murakami and liked it - I'm sure we can easily get along, I love his philosophy and his heroes. I love when people are passionate about something. It can be art or physics or anything, I can listen to such people forever. I actually love listening to people a lot, especially when they talk about something they love, such people are fascinating and lovely in advance. I am a vegetarian but have no problems with people who are not. PHILOSOPHY Viewing things from different angles is the best way to explore them and know what they really are. So in order to think somehow objective, there has to be done a lot of work. I try to observe and don't be fast in judgments, because it's a wrong thing to do. "La plus belle philosophie est de voir les choses telles qu`elles sont" My French teacher used to say "know something about everything and everything about one thing", and I agree. And I'm all into integral philosophy, where oriental cultures bring their traditions and occidental ones - their development, and make balance and all that good stuff :)
