I think the world is full of marvellous places, colors and customs. Insight and understanding our differences has the power to bring peace.
In 2019 I would like to learn Nepali and Chinese. Nepali because of dear friends and Chinese because it will be an interesting challenge.
I am very fond of garden design and would like to learn the differences in it in other cultures.
In the Netherlands there are 2 mainstreams in garden design: f#ck the context (non related design) and genius loci (historically connected).
My best friend once told me I wasn't dutch, because of my open views towards other cultures. I was suprised, but I truely liked her explanation.
My favorite author is the late Sir Terry Pratchett. I just love his views on this and other worlds.
