About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Final exams! Plan for vacation! The USA, I'm coming!!!

ABOUT ME

*********Over view:I am an outgoing and easygoing girl. Born in China, now I am studying in Canada as a visiting student. Love delicious food and travel. I can dance very well and I love taking pictures!!!

*********Something you may concern: I don't smoke. I don't drink. I am neat. I can be very quiet if there is no one chatting with me. I am good at housework and cooking Chinese food. I am single and I don't have a pet.

*********Personal Brief History: I grew up in Xiamen, a very famous beautiful coast city located in south eastern part of China. This city has very similar weather, culture and language as Taiwan. That is why some people usually think that I come from Taiwan. That is why I can speak both Mandarin and Taiwanese.

My first time to travel another country was 5 years ago, I went to Japan by a Short-term High School Student Exchange Program. It was a 11 days experience but very immpressive! I like Japanese culture since I was a little girl. Those cartoons, Japanese food and tea culture are fantastic!

My university in China is Minzu University of China. So since September 2010, I spent 2 years in Beijing. Beijing is a historical city, I really like to explore interesting corners and delicious restaurants there.

Then I became a visiting student of Mount Allison University! I came to Canada since this September.
My major is Sociology. But I am also taking some courses related to Anthropology, Environment, Women and gender studies in Mount Allison University. It is the best undergraduate university in Canada.www.mta.ca

***********Hobbies:
Dance: I have been learning dance for over 15 years. Traditional Chinese dance -- ballet (too hard for me) -- New jazz (kind of sexy) -- Swing (beginner)
I can teach you how to dance Gangnam Style if you want :)

Taking photos and editing them: This is a very important part of my life. I really enjoy it. My camera is very cheap but I love it because it is small so that I can take it with me everywhere.

Music: I can stay alone whole day (maybe maximum 2 days) as long as I have my favorite music! They are the best companion whenever and where ever! Music helps me calm down and relax...There is no very specifit type of music I like, once my ears say they like this song, then it will on my list!

Making fun of everything: I like to make things funny. Don't be shocked if I suddenly do something very strange~

**********TO BE CONTINUE************

Others:I like the feeling that I can concentrate on something I really like. When I am drawing, dancing, cooking and taking pictures, I can feel that fantastic feeling!
