Brad Pitt lecturer in the University of Seoul

Recently I read that Brad Pitt, the American actor and human rights activist, was invited to the University of Seoul (서울시립대학교) as a lecturer in human rights activism history. The class he lectured was only permitted to female students, because Pitt felt it was more comfortable for him, since it was his first endavour of this kind. He stated that the media could be present for the first 5 minutes, but for the rest of the 2 hours long lecture they were barred from the classrooms. Security escorted them out as Pitt continued reading from his notebook of personal research on human rights issues in Malawi. After the lectures, Pitt was the first one who left the classroom, promptly followed by a flock of domestic and foreign journalists. He seemed somewhat exhausted, sweaty, with a torn collar and a messed-up tie. His security prevented the journalists to ask any questions. That's why they diverted their attention to the female students. They were exulted, sweaty and some had their lipstick smudged. When one Korean reporter asked what happened, Park Sa-rang, a 21 years old student replied while applying her chapstick: "It was crazy. I'm exhausted. I have to go home." We couldn't get further information, we can only speculate what happened, said Wang Xiaoli, a reporter for Xinhua. He added that Pitt will continue his lectures all across Asia and it's most important universities. [Photoshopped by me :P]

These are the advantages of being a big star, but You can be a star in a small scale as well.

I don't go out very often these times, but some years ago I was a regular party-goer. As I was always going to the same avenues, after a while I was becoming popular in some way, and after a while everybody was my friend and the girls liked to talk to me.

I should repeat that, once I have a little bit more time. Feels very good ;)

Where did you go out so often? You mean China or some place in Germany? Are you German (bist du Deutscher)? :)

Yeah, I'm German and Junjie is only my internet name, I like a little bit of privacy.

During my study times in Germany I always went to the same party once every week. Did that for like half year. Every week my aim was to get to know at least 1 new person, often more.

I can only imagine what would happen if I take this to an extreme. My plan is to go to Asia in 2010 and pick up a job there. And then I will try it again and see how far I can push it.
