ABOUT ME

Here comes the mathematical equation of the 'wee lass'.

Dorothy Yang = learning to be open-minded + slightly sporty + adventurous + good at self-entertaining + laughing a lot + a weird sense of humour

I lived in the city of my dreams - Edinburgh from 2010-2014. Bonnie Scottia!!
I am currently living in Shanghai and working at a photographic art exhibition.

PHILOSOPHY

'I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.' --- Dr. Seuss

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel, I surf; I stay, I host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All the Couchsurfing/hosting experiences are so far AMAZING! I am so lucky to meet so many nice people and I really enjoyed spending time with them. I hope my dream of being a world traveller would come true soon!

Music, Movies, and Books

Generally speaking, I love a slice of everything. But you need to know that in my world there are only:
Movies: Horrible and non-horrible ones
Music: Noisy and non-noisy ones
Books: Hardcover and non-hardcover ones

More specifically....
Movies: Animation, fantasy, epic, musical, rom-com, slightly chick flick, but no horror ones.
Music: Jazz, classical, folk, R&B, pop, rock, but no soundtrack for horror movies.
Books: Fiction, detective, fantasy, sci-fi, autobiography, slightly romance, but no thrillers.

P.S. Everyone should know that I LOVE Studio Ghibli and Joe Hisaishi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have learned to play Chinese lute for 13 years. -->
Held a solo concert in China. -->
Extremely nervous. -->
Played out of tune many times. -->
The impressive thing was that no one could hear the difference. -->
Simply because they knew nothing about what I was playing -->
Oh yeah, success! (A big goofy grin)
