My name is Krzysztof Czerniawski (Krzysztof is polish Christopher:) and I'm a Polish wikipedian who now try to write something in English. I'm primary interested in history and culture of Islamic World and China, but it takes me sometimes to other places - for example, in a moment when I'm writing this I study Rajput painting, because Mughal painting take me there. Have a nice day and all luck in the world:)
