I am a retired cross-cultural clinical psychologist and social worker. I like to play the piano - have a digital one, so I can play in the middle of the night if I want to. But I enjoy most playing with others. I also do silk painting.

My taste in books is quite broad. But most of all I love a good story, especially if there is a cross-cultural aspect to it, for example like Amy Tan's work, as well as Malcolm Bradbury to name just a few.
