My name is Christoph Rehage, I was born on November 9th in 1981 in Hanover, Germany.

My mother is originally from Hungary, and I have a lovely little sister and a little brother – they live with my Dad and our cat and our dog in a little town called Bad Nenndorf in the Northwest of Germany. I have spent a high school year in Wichita, Kansas before, and I have had jobs in Frankfurt and Paris.

My major at Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität in Munich was China Studies and I’ve also done Cinematography at Beijing Film Academy. As a personal hobby, I enjoy swimming.

Does the previous information help you get to know me a little?

I think if I want to get to know someone, I am most of all interested in what the person likes. The things that someone enjoys doing, the people and ideas that he or she values – I want to know what really makes them tick.

So at this point, I am going to list up some of the things that I like, thus inviting everyone to relate:
