Music

Playing piano on a daily basis, trying to learn improvisation. I sometimes play some guitar and violin to bother my neighbours.

Game

I am fond of I-GO (囲碁) which is a Japanese board game. My current level is 5k on the KGS Go server.

Theatre

I practiced improvisational theatre. I was the president of the Polytechnique Improvisational Theatre Club in 2003-2005 (Organisation of weekly lessons for the 40 members ; creation, production and performance of a dozen shows per year). I was also member of the "On-Off" Improvisational Theatre Compagnie in 2006-2007 (Weekly representations in a small theatre in Paris).

Japan

I have a passion for Japanese culture. I have been the treasurer of the Student's Franco-Japanese Forum (FFJE) in 2003-2005 (Organisation of an exchange between French and Japanese students).

Kanji

As you may have guessed from this website design, I am fond of Japanese characters, both for their graphical harmony and shear efficiency. I currently know 2000 of them.

Sports

I like martial arts, practiced Aikido, and attained a good level in Judo. I swim and run for health's sake.
