ABOUT ME

Hey Guys,

I am a industrial / product design student and right now living in Barcelona :) I am here to get in contact with as much as possible people from all over the world and get in touch with the spanish (or here in bcn i probably should say "catalan" ;) ) culture / language.

PHILOSOPHY

banpen fugyo - ten thousand changes, no surprises

ganbatte kudasai - "keep going"

Interests

My Interests..

1. Martial Arts // I am training martial arts for several years now. If you are into martial arts, you know that it is more than a hobby.. it is a way of living.. because: budo is everywhere
2. Design // of course, as a design student I am interested in design ;) especially good - functional design. I hate those things that are just created to be a "design object"... if you ask me, a real design is functional and userfriendly... on top of that it has to look nice of course ;D
3. everything that makes fun :) including meeting people, having nice conversations, taking pictures, going out for party and just doing crazy stuff! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

all kind of music :) totally depends on the situation which music i prefer.

books: different novels and a lot of nonfiction books like: sun tzu - the art of war // miyamoto musashi - go rin no sho // hatsumi masaaki - unarmed fighting techniques of the samurai, the way of the ninja, essence of budo, japanese swordfighting, .... (more^^) // Dave Lowry - the essence of budo

Movies... well, for sure too much to count them all :D but my favourite ones would be: boondock saints, shichinin no samurai, lord of the rings, transformers
