A little bit about me:

My interests include football (soccer), tennis, golf, billiards, travel, reading, foreign languages, world geography, and ancient history. I'm especially interested in learning more about the lesser known civilizations of the world and the origins of man and nation.

I've been to over 30 countries on five continents, albeit mostly European locations. But really, I am fascinated by Asia and have lived in various parts of the region for over 10 years. My favorite places to visit are Cuba, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.

Wikipedia articles that I have created: Chung Mong Joon, Football World Cup 2002 naming controversy, Harvey Nichols, Japan bashing, Kitora Tomb, Nippon Foundation, Okinotori, Takamatsuzuka Tomb, and Smythson.
