Favorite Movie:
"Pirates of the Caribbean" "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Dune", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" "House of Flying Daggers" "Hero", "Shogun" (miniseries), "Avatar", - (I do like Sci-Fi/Fantasy. TV series: Babylon 5, Stargate SG-1/ Atlantis. also various comedy shows, quizes and nature documentaries
Favorite Book:
Fiction: Terry Pratchett (Discworld Series), - James Clavell's "Shogun" "Taipei" and "Noble House". some CS Lewis - Conan Doyle - Agatha christie. Historical Novels, and reference books. I know something of Japanese History and culture, but am in no way an expert... any teachers, out there ? (!) :-)
Favorite Food:
Asian, Mainly...Indian, Thai, China and Japan), Some Mexican and European. But I am not a huge fan of "Fast Food". I can eat it on ocassion, but could not "live" on it. I like food, generally, and my tastes are variable, and adaptable. I will try most things... although possibly not, if it's still trying to crawl off the plate (!) ;-)
Favorite Music:
Enya, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, some Classical, (Strauss, Vivaldi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Paganini, etc )...also Nakano Ritsuki, Emiko Shiratori and Faye Wong, ... but that's my kids fault...maybe I'll say why..another time...? New Age, and various others... new styles, all the time...I love it!!
Dress Style:
Casual-Smart, I can do 'Formal', as and if necessary. At home it's Casual ....depending on the season and weather, of course. I am not really "Fashion led", though Jumpers, Tee-shirts and sport tops...Shirt and trousers ...and so on. It varies....any suggestions?
Humor:
Adaptive. I do have a good sense of humour, but it's not "harsh" and never at someone's expense, -a little "mischievous", sometimes, maybe, but "subtle", generally. I like to laugh WITH people...never AT them. I am generally a cheerful and happy person. I really prefer to see other people happy and laughing..
Hobbies & Interests:
Family, , Reading, Listening to music, Movies (Cinema and DVD), Walking /Cycling, Swimming, Photography, Astronomy, Nature.. Some sports. I am very interested in Japan...History and culture...and am very eager to learn more. I am also willing to teach about my country and culture in return.
Travelled:
A little in Europe, but also parts of Asia (a favourite destination).I have been to Japan a few times, however not for many years -firstly as a young boy with my parents, as a young boy. Where we live is simply 'geography', and a family decision - "relationship" is what counts, here. I am willing to relocate or have my partner relocate, if she wishes that. I am adaptable.
Cultural Adaption:
This is easy.... I am very adaptive, generally, but especially in personal matters. I have no problems at all, with adjusting...in fact I would welcome the chance. The relationship is what is important, here...and what we each bring to it...not any "differences". Life is too short ...eternity too long, to let those affect it.
Romance:
An example: A cabin in the woods...a walk hand in hand, amongst the trees... back , as dusk falls, to a candle-lit meal, wine and soft music.... cuddle on a luxurious rug by the fire, while listening to music... and fall asleep to the night-songs of the forest.. then wake to birdsong, soft morning sunlight, and the face of an angel, before me... (...just a dream, perhaps?)
Personality:
Sensitive, thoughtful, attentive, commited and Family oriented... I'm serious when appropriate, and respectful and courteous generally. I'd also like to say that I'm Romantic and Passionate... but that would be for others to decide, .. Wouldn't it ? I do seem to fall in love too easily, maybe, ... words are useless - if the person doesn't hear !
My Perfect Match is:
You can't answer that question, really. It's like setting "conditions". My perfect match will be the person I fall in love with. She will be the love of my life, the centre of my world... the missing part of my soul. The last thing I see, before I sleep, and the first as I wake each new day... in a word...everything.
