Hey This is Nicole from China, currently living in Wisconsin - America's Diary Land! I'll move to Scarsdale(suburbans of NYC) in July.
I wonder why does everyone try to be interesting. I think it's just a relative concept. You maybe interesting to many people but not me. Vice versa, I can be really funny and interesting in some situations.
(Well.. I d k why do I say this stuff here.)

I love to be abnormal/rebellion in a reasonable way. I like sports, basketball, pingpong, badminton, soccer. I know how to swim backwards but don't know how to swim forward.
I enjoy carrying my ricoh gr camera everywhere and taking pictures.
I love pets, dogs and cats and birds.
Oh, I like giving people surprise ;)
