I can say that I am a good listener, but my wife says i'm an absent listener....(seriously I don't know what that means...hushh!)..... :( ... maybe it's because I take flight on various routes at the same time (probably that's why I was not recommended to become a pilot....hmm!). So you may know if you are asking an obvious question, and I answer in hmm hmm?!; that I have already taken flight.

I like Sun. If it rains, I want the clouds to break and let Sun in after a few minutes. I derive all my energy from Sun. People say that in that sense you might be superman?! but I generally decline amicably.

I generally like to play golf alone and early in the morning. My wife says 'NO', it's because you want respite from us.....:/

I talk less, and when you add that to an 'absent listener'; you are sure to have good company! .....hey! I did hear someone say honesty is the best virtue....:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems a good way of meeting up with locals and know their culture and life style.....and maybe some food?!

Interests

Reading, socialising, listening to podcasts (its immersive), Naruto (imagine me talking in that tone), gaming (kids online call me grandpa), UFC, trying to teach salsa to my spouse (:/), meditation, weekend golf, weekdays running/gym/squash/badminton etc, being a mentor to my son (in making faces), believing in supernatural (not extraterrestrial.....no no, not Katy Perry style), know a lot of horror stories (what's behind you?! 8-0...), goofing in Nihongo etc

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything played on acoustic guitar with good male/female (husky) voice :).
Movies: which leave a lot of questions to be answered.
...so that means non!
Books: which take a lifetime to understand.....should have tried it in the language I knew!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There is nothing in my capacity, but I would say it like this that 'I have been blessed by becoming a father'.......(No, no funny comment here..:p)
