Confessions of a Ronin

About Me

basic facts: Indo-european. Been in BKK for 6 years. Working for L'Oreal Thailand. Moderate Thai speaker, but fluent in French, English, Spanish, Hindi and Urdu, Moderate in Bahasa Malay. Love movies, books, music, also the great outdoors (as long as it's on a mountain bike or on foot.)And to PARTY - of course! For more details - why don't you drop me a note :) ..

My Interests

Intellectual interests: Science-Fiction, Fantasy, Music, Movies, Archeology, Ancient History, Philosophy, Theology, Research, playing cards... Physical (sensory) interests: Mountain-biking, Rock-climbing, Sailing, Trekking, Wine-tasting, Cooking, Day-dreaming, Foreplay.

I'd like to meet:

"All I wanna do, is have some fun. I got the feeling I'm not the only one." So if my profile doesn't scare you off, you know ... as the song goes ... "Let's get together & feel alright."
My World Visitor Map!

Music:

Don't know much about Independant rock since I came to Bangkok - not as many concerts as in Europe to get to know and see unknown bands first hand. I like Pop, Hard Rock, Hip-hop, but also Jazz, Blues, Trip hop. I guess I need to listen to a specific type of music to soothe my different moods.

Television:

TV, No. TV Series, Hell Yeah! From CSI, to Lost, Buffy, Angel, Firefly (Joss Whedon rules), 24, Prison break, HEROES, Touching evil, Twin peaks, ... I love TV series.

Books:

Yeah, that too. Mostly Fantasy and sci-fi. But also novels which take place in an accurate historical context. Anything thing to do with feodal Japan - medieval China, you've got my interest.

Heroes:

LOL ... Batman.
