Lianshen

I'm a 29-year-old male, and I live in Vannes, France .

I speak French, some English, and a tiny bit of Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin).

Current level: Expert

• Something to tell the world!

  I just lost myself here. Please, welp because I have no idea what I came for and what will I get from this place.

• I always enjoy talking about...

  Animal behaviour, some sciences or just shitposting making up things with someone is funny enough, but any topic is actually fine and potentially of a great interest.

  Anyway, feel free to come with whatever you want to say, and it will be fine.

• Cities and countries I have visited

  Out of France, I've visited Kansai in Japan, more specifically Nara and Kyoto and its surrounding, Sicily (mostly travelled by the south, so I haven't been in the north east part), and a bit of Mexico. Honestly, each travel give me but a small overview/taste of the places I go to, which is both very fortunate and frustrating.

• Living abroad for one year

  I'd pick Antarctica, and I will probably attempt to go to the Dumont d'Urville station someday (it's here : https://terreadelie.sblanc.com/images/baseddu/mappemonde.jpg ). Not that I particularly hate people and society but, yes, I would like to experience penguins' company, 200km/h wind and polar winter more than living intoa crowded city.

  I've lived in Norway for almost a year, far from cities though. I'm also in Japan for a few months. Next, I will end up in Germany for 6 months, and then, and then I don't know,maybe back to Norway?

• My interests in other cultures

  Its history, then its mindset. I would love to know more about Chinese history. I appreciate much the way of thinking present in Finland from what I see on the internet, but also Norway, for they are less noisy and have a little thing more than in our West European countries.

  However, and despite I would love to visit various countries for their archeological sites (Greece, Syria, Jordan, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Turkey....), I'm also very much interested in local biodiversity and landscape. Those, in my opinion, also have a huge impact on local way to perceive the world.

• Personal skills

  Unreasonable stubbornness (like staying 8 hours straight doing the exact same thing because I know I can do it but I'm failing for various reasons).

  Unexpectedly able to start something random, to make it more hazardous by playing head or tail and to not totally fail it by constantly improvising.

• I'm an expert at...

  At being a retarded, so please, be patient.

  Also saying that I am not French just for bringing a homemade baguette everywhere with me or ranting about how French can't write or talk properly.

• Favourite books/authors/films

  Please take in account that I am not an avid reader nor a huge cinephile.

  Books :
  - Discours de la servitude volontaire (Discourse on Voluntary Servitude), from Etienne de La Boétie
  - The Iliad

  Movies:
  - Mononoke Hime
  - Archimède le clochard (Archimedes the Tramp)
  - Shoplifters

• My feeling about the future

  We're in a troubled times, heroes will rise, tyrants will switch, and civilizations will fall. Yet, for most us (relatively young) people, the Universe has been tricky and told them:

  "You have met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

• 10 years from now

  Either will I be a Tyrant ruling all over Europe, spreading terror and making weird experiments with my subjects, while building various statues and buildings to upset the world, either will I be dead because nobody will let me doing so.

• I feel concerned about...

  To "believe" in science or to show no criticism toward a supposed scientific fact. That's not how science work and if you think so, then I have to painfully tell you that you are a scientistic.

  That cities are so praised, yet, my internet connection in a big city is the worst I've ever had. How come can you say that cities are super cool and even the middle of nowhere is better connected than you? 😮

• Something uncommon about me

  I know about thirty digits of pi (I once used it, I swear), but I struggle remembering my phone number.

  I actually have listened to nyan cat for 24h non stop.

  I've a little voice in addition to the voice everyone has (you know, the voice that probably read this sentence). She is dumb, very incorrect, often mean but sometimes very nice, but now, she just wishes that money fall out from the sky... money in form of 1kg goldbar.

  There is a blackhole on my resume. I got an interview with it once.

• A trick or piece of advice

  Be a honey badger. Honey badger don't care.
