CURRENT MISSION

Going to a country I've never been to (China) and conduct a field study. Wth have I led myself into?

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 years old, easy-going and open-minded and currently studying LIS on my last term in University.

I'm now in Hangzhou, and it's just like I thought - exciting and scary all at once! I'm currently looking for a place to live since I've finally started writing my paper (the reason why I'm here) and I need some peace and quiet BUTI'd also like to be around people so I'm looking for a shared apt (so if you have any advice or know of a place, please tell!).
Since I have been focusing on my study and on finding a place to live I unfortunatly haven't been very social. I don't even know any chinese so I feel a bit lost here sometimes -.-

PHILOSOPHY

"When life gives you lemons, you eat them raw to prove you can"
