About Me:
I live in Brussels, Belgium which is a part of Europe’s largest mega-region 'AmBrusTwerp' (Amsterdam-Brussels-Antwerp) (cfr. R. Florida - Who's Your City (2008)), an enormous economic composite with very high productivity and the economic engine of the European Union (its production exceeds Canada’s and as well as China’s or Italy’s). At the same time this region (with Brussels, Luxemburg, The Hague) is the political heart of the European Union (European Parliament, European government, European Court of Justice, etc).
Requests:
I don't request anything.
but I am in particular interested in:
- KOREA, JAPAN, TAIWAN, CHINA, VIETNAM, THAILAND
- AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND
- FINLAND, ESTONIA, RUSSIA, IRELAND, NETHERLANDS, DENMARK, GERMANY, SPAIN, PORTUGAL.
- ARGENTINA, USA, CANADA
- a certain amount of intelligence please
- i am not searching for romance with someone 1000 miles away^^

Favorite Quotes:
"Rêver un impossible rêve
Porter le chagrin des départs
Brûler d'une possible fièvre
Partir où personne ne part
Aimer jusqu'à la déchirure
Aimer, même trop, même mal,
Tenter, sans force et sans armure,
D'atteindre l'inaccessible étoile
Telle est ma quête,
Suivre l'étoile
Peu m'importent mes chances
Peu m'importe le temps
Ou ma désespérance
Et puis lutter toujours
Sans questions ni repos
Se damner
Pour l'or d'un mot d'amour"
La Quête - Jacques Brel
"La pensée ne doit jamais se soumettre, ni à un dogme, ni à un parti, ni à une passion, ni à un intérêt, ni à une idée préconçue, ni à quoi que ce soit, si ce n'est aux faits eux-mêmes." (Thinking must never submit itself, neither to a dogma, nor to a party, nor to a passion, nor to an interest, nor to a preconceived idea, nor to whatever it may be, if not to facts themselves)
Henri Poincaré
"L'antiracisme est le communisme du 21ème siècle" (Anti-racism is the communism of the 21th century)
Alain Finkielkraut
"Der Multikulturalismus ist ein Rassismus des Antirassismus." (Multiculturalism is a racism of the anti-racists)
Pascal Bruckner

the french fries of Mcdonalds are notorious for causing bad diseases here. that things are showed on tv for arousing people to eat less fatted foods though young people pretend not to hear it and enjoy eating french fries. lol
I got surprised i saw the long message again on my wall.
Writing a lot of words everytime is kinda difficult to continue.
I thought that you felt big burden to write longly.haha You can write briefly though mine was long. if you don't feel any burden, that's ok though. haha^_^
By the way, I've just realized that i don't know much about you just like some elemental things. i've talked about the culture you live in or your favorites. so... you know what? I even don't know your name haha. I'm Mina.(Did you know it?:P)
if it's ok, can i ask what you do? student.. or..?
you seem to know many korean words and small cultures than i thought. something like '너는내운명, 포장마차' and you already know the protestants always saying "god god god" in korea.
you must have had many korean friends :)

Ah oui, maintenant je comprends!
Moi, j'aime le multiculturalisme, mais ce relativisme culturel, ces qui essayent d'être toujours "politically correct" sont abominables!
Tout même, appeler ces gents "racistes" c'est un peu exageré, non? Et toi, tu crois qu'il y a des valeurs fondamentals et eternels?

A propos,
"Multiculturalism is a racism of the anti-racists" Tu pense ça c'est vrai?

Pardon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oui, c'est le nouveau tango, c'est une autre chose, moi j'aime Piazzola aussi, mais quand je parle de tango, je veux dire les tangos dont le texte exprime de choses avec qui je me peux identifier!
Oh, you think so? Thanks!! :)
Merci, je ne connaissais pas ce livre!
Piazzola? oui, bien sûr, mais n est le tango comme il faut ;)

So what's up, how come you're not on Skype anymore, or at least Gmail? I miss your Flemish voice!
How's it going, Alderik? Anything new? I got laid off from my job so I am depressed and trying to figure out a new direction in life.
Hello/Salut,
Just a question: Where did you get the statistics for the AmBrusTwerp area?
By the way, I was born in the Argentines, what is it that calls your attention of that corner of the world?
