I love cooking (though not pretty good at it ......) and music. I play recorders (yeah, an instrument everyone had once played and hated since then, but are actually underrated. Listen to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaO4GJ0M4Ow), erhu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAJEj4-HGyQ), and suona (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvizGOKIAgE). I also listen to some Taiwanese indie pop, for example, 那我懂你意思了(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSmcSLsJSKo), Tizzy Bac (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b22R7XTZuCQ). I'm a big fan of Mayday. Some songs in their first three albums were classics in Mandarin pop. I can recommend this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zr6QKytnmU.

As a student major in computer science, I love stuffs like natural language processing, especially natural language generation. Though machines are still far away from generating meaning texts, this is an exciting field which worth people exploring with.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To exchange ideas, and get inspired. To learn, experience the local's real live, rather than being just a tourist, visiting touristy places, buy touristy stuffs.
