I am the Medical Director of the Taakhi Medical Centers.
I am also a clinical lecturer at the Lebanese International University.

I enjoy music, photography, computers (python, video-games...), stamps, museums, cross stitching and reading.

I am married and have an amazing daughter (2y 3m old)

I like postcards about anything and anywhere, I don't like to put restrictions on what is supposed to be a voluntary gesture. I care a lot about the writing side of the card though. You can bomb it with stamps or compress as much text as you can on it. Maybe even draw something.

- I do prefer that the postcard be mailed without an envelope, it shows where it came from and where it passed through...

-You can also send a bunch of stamp (literally any stamps) and it still counts as a sent card. Just remember to put the ID somewhere so I can register it.

-Topics I like include:

PHQ cards (not necessarily from origin and can be used and in an envelope)
Audreey Hepburn
Yvette Mimieux
Stephen Fry
Rowan Atkinson
WW2 history
Propaganda (especially Soviet)
Espionage (did you know that postcards are used by spies to send messages?)
Lego
The Bauhaus Movement
Frank Lloyd wright
Star Trek,
Starwars (Before it got Disneyfied)
The Big Bang Theory
Moomins
Postman Pat
Tintin
Garfield
XKCD
Penguins
Machin stamps
Sushi
Surrealism
Egyptology

I am not a big fan of multiview cards (If you do send one it is NOT the end of the world though).

In case of a writer's block: (copied from @annebethp)

- What's your favourite food, movie, (board) game, book (character)?
- Which picture/painting/story had a big impact on you?
- Which part of your culture are you most proud of?
- Which prejudice (about your country) do you want to set right?
- What's the worst (fashion) trend ever in your opinion?
- What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever bought?
- What was your biggest screw up in the kitchen?
- What's the closest thing to real magic?
- Which movie or book character would you compare yourself to?

An amusing info about penguins:
企鹅 is penguin in simplified Chinese.
企 is business (or enterprise)
鹅 is goose
That explains a lot.

企鵝 also literally means a standing goose. (Thanks to Baikelee for the translation).
