some of you may know me from pictures on this website as i am pretty often on party pictures (how embarrassing).
like many of the platoon members in seoul i am also one of these strange koreans who behave completely german although they have slit eyes, small noses, dark eyes and hair. on top i speak with a Berlin accent as i grew up in spandau (which IS part - the biggest even - of berlin!)
one of my favorite activities is travelling and getting to know new people. i was lucky to learn spanish in quito, to study in mexico city and bamberg. it was so hard to crack the franconians, but in the end i met some nice guys with whom i was running a little cultural space called format:b. about five years ago i moved to seoul. i was organizing cultural events with the goethe-institut korea(www.goethe.de/seoul). it was great fun especially when some projects took me to pyongyang and other places in north korea.
this is my second week with platoon and i think i like seeing and working with these crazy guys every day (as long as they do not force me to drink and smoke). i stopped smoking right before i started this new job. i am not sure if this was a good idea...
