Tune's Home Page

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

I come from Holland and grew up in this crowded country (something like 500 persons per square kilometer) and many different cultures. We have lots of rules, but on the other hand we don't care about many of these. All of this was a good reason for me to move to Sweden in September 2000.

So who is this Teun or Tune if you like. Hmm, "vad skulle jag säga"¹. Perhaps if I explain about the things I occupy myself with.

• My biggest hobby, or better my passion is designing and building polyhedron models. "What?!" Yes, you heard me right, polyhedron models. Just take a look at them.
• I like to spend my holidays hiking around in the countryside. Interested in that, just follow the link.
• Here is a random collection of pictures.

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 "tum", which should be added in front of "@dds.nl".
