Music, Movies, and Books

Classical music was my childhood favourite. Now I’m more into Jazz and progressive rock. Still listen to some folk and world music sometimes (e.g. Okinawan). Magma is my favourite band. For classical music I like impressionists and modern/contemporary like Rachmaninoff, Hindemith, Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass etc. I played erhu, violin and piano.
Not a huge movie fan but started watching more. Love mostly serious stuff. Interstellar, Four Lions, Razor’s Edge, Manhattan are currently my favourite I guess.
For books, I’d say Also Sprach Zarathustra, Razor’s Edge. Due to some reasons I now have problems of reading and hard to finish one book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese (Teochew, Cantonese, Mandarin), V60 filtered coffee, erhu.
Learning German, Italian and Japanese. Coding is next thing. And probably global logistics.
Given proper material and equipment I can make food with Cantonese style food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some knowledge and experience I have. My honest but possibly biased opinions about China. Coffee if I have beans and equipment.
