introduceyourself : Michiel Van Kets
so, here we are now ... on steemit :)
I was born and raised in rainy and grey Antwerp, Belgium, which is why I used to make light sculptures of the sun, but now living on the sunny tropical island of Phuket, Thailand ...

BTW ! really sorry my votes don't have weight YET ! Grrr
Don't worry about the vote weight, I appreciate it anyway!
Belgium has quite some interesting people, but the weather is just sooo grey ...
Well THEN ! Open A LIGHT Therapy shop !!!! just research it, you will be glad you did ! in the States we call this "Cabin Fever" Is totally legit !
cut me in !!!, lol
edit: i try to get 5 mins sun per day on each temple .... (I KNOW, sounds crazy ...just research bro !)
I kind of did ... I used to have a shop full with all my light sculptures, and it worked really well, but ... it's still cold and rainy outside, so I left ...
so, now I don't need therapy anymore now; the sun shines here all year round!
actually open a Light Therapy shop ... to make money, get a local Doc (Shrink ?, lol) to endorse it ...
just have to research effects of lack of sunlight to understand what i mean ...
Hi Michiel,
very funny I'm also originally from Antwerp and grew up there!
But I'm living now in Jerusalem,Israel!
that's also much better weather, isn't it?
I like Antwerp and I know a lot of people there of course, but 9 months of the year the weather is just miserable, while here in Phuket it's always 30 degrees ... it makes such a difference big difference on the mood of people ... and that's why I'm never going back there to live ... 2 weeks holiday every 5 years to see my friends and family, that's the maximum I can tolerate
amen to that @luminousvisions! That's one of the reasons I loved Thailand and I'm now enjoying great weather all year round in Israel!
I added some picture from where I live;
I live on Phuket, a Tropical Paradise Island
Steem ahead!
Delighted to have you here with us!
