ABOUT ME

Hiya!

I'm Mika (or テツ). I was born and raised in Kuopio, lived a few years in Turku and I'm now studying in Helsinki. Still wishing to get to even bigger cities (*cough Osaka and Tokyo cough*). I like reading about different cultures, visiting different countries and studying languages. I also wish to meet lots of people from different ethnic & cultural backgrounds.

During my free time I study languages... and spend a lot of time in front of my pc. At the moment Japanese's Kansai dialect (kansaiben) holds my interest.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never let yourself down - other people do it much better than you."
