ABOUT ME

Halo you!
This is Mercury Lai, you can also call me "人豪" like all my friends do ( that's my chinese name means hero, sounds like "learn how" in English).
My friends think I am a super easy-going ,open minded and very gentle guy.
I have a nice handwriting in chinese so I'd like to pick up a chinese name and write it down for you.
As you known we have so many night markets and 24 hrs convenient store in Taiwan, I enjoy the easy&comfortable life here (Of course I'll take you to the "real" good meals if you want).
But I look forward to have an adventure every time when I wake up!
A person who has the Renaissance soul.
Thirsty for anything new, love children and animal(used to have 2 cats), enjoy music with a little alcohol~

PHILOSOPHY

I am curious about all the things and places in the world even in the path i walked everyday. I believed that about how you see the world ,not what it is. You have to feel by heart, not by eyes. So if you have the same thought I'm sure we'll have lots to chat!
