Taiwan: Radio Taiwan International - A warm welcome to Alex Wolfgram

Alex Wolfgram joined the English service in mid-June. Those of you who tuned in to Here in Taiwan last week might have heard his voice and known a little bit about him. Following is Alex's self-intro.

Alex was drawn to the Oriental when he first heard traditional Chinese classical music. This inspired him to embark on an eight month journey that brought him through Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia and finally to China. 

While in Beijing Alex discovered his passion for East Asia and later returned to the University of Minnesota to pursue a degree in Asian Languages in Literatures. He is currently doing his masters degree at National Chengchi University in Asia Pacific studies and his fields of interest include International Relations and Social Development. In his spare time, Alex enjoys photography, learning new languages and playing percussion instruments. His favorite artist is Alex Grey and he encourages everyone to think for themselves and question authority.
