About Me:
Me .. +40 Belgian ... a real European, lover of the cultural patchwork, the history, the languages, a true believer in the European cause - a united Europe with respect for all regional differences will be good for the entire world.
Some keywords ... opera fanatic, atheist, amateur-cook, tango dancer, independant consultant, open-minded, interested in nearly everything: culture, politics, economics, languages, art ...

Requests:
Looking for people with similar interests who wish to share their views on the world, life, culture etc. The more your cultural background differs from mine the more I'm interested in you, the more I want to "learn" from you.
I expect that the people I write with know enough of the language they are writing in to formulate their ideas in a more or less precise way. I do not mind us writing in different languages, nor switching back and forth between languages depending on e.g. the subject.
Please do not expect me to respond if you sent me you coordinates in the first mail without a clear profile and good reason, and no - I am not interested in either young russian or african women to get married, nor in men of any age for a relation.

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:
First of all: travelling of course (at least twice a year), cycling, walking, scuba diving, reading, cooking, tango, photography, being a nerd on my computer (well, it is more or less my job - so I fortunately like it).
Interests: politics, macro-economics, art, opera, culture, languages, science - well, nearly anything

Favorite Music:
Hard to choose: Arvo Part, Wagner and Birgit Nilson, Puccini and Maria Callas, early baroque music with Motserrat Figueras and Jordy Savall, Shostakovich and Haitink in the Concergebouw, the passionate tango of Piazolla, melancholic fado music, Jan Garbarak with the Hilliart Ensemble, but also the Dutch band Bloff, David Gray, ...
Favorite Movies:
Some examples:
Crash (The one that got the oscar),
A beautiful mind, The last samourai, The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings, La Meglio Giuventu, recently discovered Asian cinema - the Korean movie "Bin Jip" is impressive.

Non fiction (which I read most): The end of history and the last man (Francis Fukuyama)
Fiction: just finished a book of Orhan Pamuk - interesting
SF/Fantasy: Sword of Truth series
Humor: The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Favorite Quotes:
About imagination ...
I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious. - Albert Einstein
About people ...
Der Horizont vieler Menschen ist ein Kreis mit Radius Null - und das nennen sie ihren Standpunkt. - Albert Einstein
About reason ...
I am an intransigent atheist, but not a militant one. This means that I am an uncompromising advocate of reason and that I am fighting FOR reason, not AGAINST religion. - Ayn Rand
You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do. - Anne Lamott
About religion
I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. - Richard Feynman
Interested in Physics/Sciences ... «The Feynman Lectures on Physics» really is the best introduction ...
