Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Classical music: opera (Verdi, Bizet), romanticism tradition (Chopin, Schubert, Vagner), Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev, some choral works.
Classic rock, oldies (Sinatra, Astaire, Piaf), jazz.

Haven't been reading anything recently apart from academic papers, and am deeply ashamed of it. So would love to hear some recommendations.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Moved to China and thrived here.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

What I'd love to learn: the basics of many languages and/or professions as I can, any cultural observations; more advanced French or Chinese.

What I can teach: tips on men's classic clothing, etiquette, basics of Chinese, Russian and... some financial modelling? Haha

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

Souvenirs from China, language practice for someone learning Chinese or Russian (or English for that matter, haha). Return favours if you happen to come to Beijing.
