| music: really ALL kinds of music, especially "black music" and women with "golden voices": Mariah Carey, Witney Houston, Brandy, Cranberries, Tori Amos, Jewel, ... all that MTV-stuff, but also classical music, like Pink Floyd :-) and not to forget: I LOVE Italian operas - especially Verdi: La Traviata and Un ballo in maschera being my favorite operas! Also: Reggae & Salsa. |  Mariah Carey |
 |
sports: inline-skating (already broke my ankle once...), swimming, biking, windsurfing, (also: internet-surfing, but that's not really a sport, is it?), dancing |
| favorite food: all food must be !!hot&spicy!! - that is: Asian
(Thai, Chinese), Mexican (I really need my daily burrito or taco!). And since my many trips to Korea and being engaged with a Korean girl I also love Kimchi. |
 Kimchi - looks
disgusting, tastes great! |
Sushi - I am addicted!! |
Since my last trip to Japan I could also die for Sushi & Sashimi. |
|
favorite countries: The next destination is always may favorite one... in other words, I LOVE to travel - I am always fascinated by foreign cultures and continents, but on the other hand I also love Europe, my "home continent". Favorite cities are certainly London, San Francisco, Amsterdam, New York, Barcelona -- heck, and many more... For some different reasons I recently felt in love with Korea... |
favorite movie:
 The
Road HomeThis Chinese movie is without doubt the best movie I have ever seen. This movie has it all: An extremely touching love story, wonderful images, a story that (for me) symbolizes the circle of life... and the beautiful Zhang Ziyi (who became famous in "Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger") is simply incredible. The director Zhang Yimou has made several other movies which are deeply touching, for example "Not one less". |

My favorite proverb and life-time motto:My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. |
