Tune's Home Page

Welcome to the humble home of Marcel Tünnissen or Teun as some Dutch friends call me sometimes.

Originally I come from Holland, but since September 4^th 2000 I have been living in Sweden. My nickname in Holland used to be Teun, but for a non-native Swedish speaker that sounds a bit as the Swedish word "tönt", meaning retard, though native speaker would think the nickname incomprehensible. Anyway you understand that I haven't been using my nickname so much anymore since I moved to Sweden... ;)

Here are some things that I like to do:

• My biggest hobby, or better my passion is finding and building polyhedron models. "What's that?!" People usually ask me. Well, the best way to explain is to show, so have a look.
• I like to spend my holidays hiking around in the countryside. Though I must admit that I haven't found much time to do this lately.
• A collection of pictures can be found at flickr

And yes that is all. It is not much, but I am happy with this little home. Reactions, remarks, feed back, all are welcome. Just send me an email. My username is "marcel", which should be added in front of "@tunnissen.eu".
