My Interests

Filmmaking, watching movies, architecture, film theory, writing, Zen Buddhism, boring post cards, ranting about politics, travelling to remote corners of the earth, torturing myself by trying to remember Kanji, cooking, discovering hole-in-wall restaurants, drunken karaoke, maps, and much much more.
