Hobbies
What things do I like? Let's see...
-
Running
Yes, definitely. Although sometimes I have to convince
myself that I like doing that. Anyhow, this is my most favorite sport. The
distances I prefer to run are in the range from 3km. to, let's say,
a half marathon. The most recent half marathon was, however, already
quite some time ago in Eindhoven, on October 14, 2001
(results).
-
Cycling
In the range of favourate sports, cycling comes second.
Unfortunately, the set of moments when I want to go cycling and the set
of moments suitable for cycling have an almost empty intersection.
-
Sailing
This one is relatively new; I have only sailed a few times, but I quite
liked it. I only have sailed on so-called 'falcons', which are very easy
for inexperienced people like me.
-
Scuba diving
This is a result of a holiday my wife and I spent in Greece (Rhodes) in
September/October 1997. We took some courses there,
and we both are now 'advanced open water' divers. I must say it's great fun.
-
Movies
Ah, the entertainment section. The best movies to my opinion
that I have seen so far are Once Upon a Time in the West,
The Blues Brothers, and The Silence of the Lambs.
-
Belgian beers
I greatly appreciate the wide variety of them. And, of course, their taste.
