One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Study journey trough concentration camps in Germany and Poland. Intense and emotional experience.

Celebrated Chinese new year at the Wong's in Singapore!
Felt like a part of the family, so thankful for letting ous share that special moment.

Walking up the bright hillside of Pamukkale, Turkey. Calcium oxide ritch water streaming down the white travertines, really looks like cotton from afar. Sort of feels like you are walking on watery clouds on the way to meet God!

Teach, Learn, Share

I do know my share of wine and drinks!
Need a bartender or a sommelier?
I also know my way around the kitchen.
Love making food!

I am at the moment doing some self studies and living the life in Japan.

Want to master the Japanese language!
