CURRENT MISSION

i know how to rise up with the sun and i am learning what sleep's good for!

ABOUT ME

i love to cycle, walk, run and swim. i like fresh air. i like to cook. i love reading. philosophical novels, philosophy, history, little bit of sci-fi/fantasy, language studies... and anything to do with JRR Tolkein.

i live in china. i am studying chinese. i also teach english. i like asia very much. i have no plan to go back to england.

i want to learn to say something in your language!

i fall in love. it's terrible. i won't fall in love with you, it's ok.

i wish i was really as positive as i claim to be in boxes like these.

i'm not.

PHILOSOPHY

'sitting here on my own in my underwear on a saturday night, listening to the rain, bashing keys on a keyboard, eating my third portion of bread for the day is NOT where i should be.'
