Shaq

On Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, I was hanging out with Amaya and Nathalie. They have decided to call me "Shaq" in order to deal with the problem of pronouncing my name by languages, like English, without the relevant sounds. I never thought this would come in handy later on. I usually spell my first name when it comes to registering at hostels and similar, but of course it can be avoided when meeting people. If I would have taught each and every one of them, it would have taken ages! So I compromised with "Shaq" and that is how I introduce myself. Last night I went dancing with some English fellows, and you can imagine what happened when the song "Love shack" by the B-52 played...
