I am a lover of many things old as well as new. I especially enjoy good intellectual conversation with young minded people. After having lived in Japan I think that we Latin Americans have more in common with our Asian friends than we realize. Since coming back to live in my country, Panama, I've become a historian and have discovered that the building of the Panama Canal a century ago brought us into close contact with many people and their cultures from all over the world, and this has left an indelible mark on our experience.

I would like to meet Indian and other Asian culture actors (and actresses of course), artesans, mask makers especially, writers from Malaysia, Phillipines and India, and Melanesia in general. In other words, individuals that we in the western hemisphere wouldn't normally have the opportunity to exchange ideas with.
