Personal Description

Hi,Guten tag,Bonjour,Ciao,Ahoj,Hola,ahlan bik, selam,Nihao,(I apoligize if i haven't greeted you in your language)

I'm originally from Shanghai, China. But now studying in Georgia College & State University. I'm a friendly and open-minded boy who enjoy meeting new people from all over the world. I'm eager to experience different cultures. I'm pretty excited about studying in US. I like travelling. I wish to travel through Europe some day. I'm fanscinated by European architecture­s.

Interests

I like movies, travelling, fencing,computer programming, music, playing the violin(I'm the 2nd violinist in school orchestra)

Philosophy

Everyone has one destiny and ONLY one destiny

Music, Movies, Books

I like classical music. From Baraque to romantic. I like Vivaldi, Bach's work, they are really baroque. I enjoy Mozart's violin concerto, piano sonatas... that's shiny pieces. And I also like Beethoven, Bramas... They are of enthusiasm. And I'm also fascinated by Italian opera, like Verdi, Puccini's, thought I don't understand Italian. Well, but I don't like Debussy and Ravel so much. I'm also fond of Jazz music. The syncope rhyme is so cool and jazz tones are so special. I couldn't help swing with the music.

Types of People I enjoy

I like people who are easy to get along with, friendly, warm-hearted.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I can teach you Chinese if you like.

Went to the Shanghai Museum together, a bookstore, dinner and Pudong. Organized a last minute CS meet where only he and I showed up but went to meet a newbie in CS later that night. Scott likes to be around people and wish him the best in his further studies in the USA. We can meet in ATLANTA, but I won't go down to Milledgeville, sorry Scott, hahah. Take Care.

He's a good guy. Fun to talk with and is really smart.

If you have any questions or need any help, just ask Scott.

Scott will be leaving for the US in August. He'll be studying in Georgia. So, if you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting him, you'd better do it soon!

Scott is a very nice guy, easy-going and considerate. We felt completely comfortable giving him the key to our apartment and lending him our bicycle. We hope we'll have the chance to visit him in the States some time.

He was a friendly boy, we talked a little bit and he likes jazz music like me. :) I also took him skiing, and he was a great student! You should keep up skiing in the future also, I think you might be really good if you keep practising. :) If you are in Shanghai, you must meet Scott, he is young but very intelligent and he has a warm heart.

Scott is a well-spoken, polite guy. Chatting with him is a lot of fun. I think he's going places.

Besides me, Scott is another local active CSers here in Shanghai. It seems we have lots of common points to share.
