ABOUT ME

Hmm, how can one ever describe himself/herself objectively? I guess I can only do the best I can:

I'm a newly graduate working in Amsterdam who likes cultural stuff, for example, music, cinema, threaters.
Talking to people from different cultural backgrounds has always been a pleasure. It would be nice of you if you share something unique or interesting on your way of travelling.

Oh by the way, you may be confused by my name in the references. Sometimes it's Leon, sometimes it's Li-yang. Well, Li-yang is my Chinese name but many of my friends call me Leon -- so it's easier for them to pronunce. (Chinese names are difficult to pronunce correctly!)
