I originally started this podcast because every hipster has a podcast, but the real reason is because I have very interesting friends, or at least, I think they are very interesting. 

One of THESE friends is Alex Fan. Alex is one of those friends I brag about to other friends. I tell them that Alex is very good at picking the best restaurants in town, and then picking the best dishes from the menu. So with him you'll have a great meal, unless your dietary restrictions conflict with the menu.

Alex is from China but has been living abroad for about a decade. He works for language startup Lingvist. Like me, he has a very strong interest in languages. He speaks Chinese, English, German, Russian, Estonian, French and probably a few more languages.

He is an expert on wine, spirits and cocktails, and is now doing a training for wine expert with WSET, the Wine and Spirits Education Trust.

in this episode we will talk about a few subjects, but I could fill many more hours talking to him, so maybe there will be a follow up episode in the future.

In any case, it is an honour to present my very first guest on this podcast, Alex Fan.

This is my very first podcast episode, so I am still trying out things, the audio quality and edit might not be the best, as is the intro tune, but hopefully we will improve.

Because of soundcloud limitations, I will host this podcast on my own server: https://podcast.nakedcellist.org/
