About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The Dali Lama's interpreter.

ABOUT ME

I would have made a good pope! But I settled for a position as a lecturer at a university instead... I currently teach economics at Atma Jaya University here is Jogja, under the guise of a Princeton Fellowship. Silly Princeton, don't they know I'm just playing in Asia?

PHILOSOPHY

Do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you.
