Best advice you have ever received:
The best one is not really advice but more of a hint. When I was doing my military service, a friend of mine mailed a package to my squad-room. The package contained three books, a university catalog and a refrigerator-magnet that said: “A book lover never goes to sleep alone.” I think this hint gave me the boost I needed to apply for Uni.

Moment you would like to relive:
First cab ride from the airport in Shanghai at the beginning of my exchange program; So much I thought I knew about the world, so much I though I knew about myself. I remember the warm feeling in my chest as I overlooked the city from the elevated highway. I was filled with excitement and expectation.
