I love to travel

Places I have visited
Solving crossword puzzles on the PC and
on my iphone (great for killing time at
airports and places where I need to queue!). 
If you are a crossword die-hard like me, you should not miss
iphone Apps "Crosswords" ($9.99) and USA TODAY Crosswords ($4.99)!
I enjoy making music on my Yamaha Clavinova (CVP-505)
I also play the clarinet and flute for relaxation.
Someone gave me a guitar recently as a present and so
I am taking up guitar lessons now - never too old to learn!
 

Things I collect

My favourite Confucius analects:
- "Learning without understanding is labor lost"
- "To know the way ahead, ask someone   coming back"
- "Without climbing the mountain, how do you expect to see the plain?"
