Музыка, кино и книги

Books: recently mostly read contemporary Japanese literature (Sosseki, Tanazaki, Mishima, Ishiguro, Dazai, Abe, Oe, Kawabata,...)

Music: From classical to contemporary, can appreciate all, though not a music expert, just enjoy listening to it.

Films: Mainly European art-house cinema if it is not too pretentious, as well as lots of classical cinema from Japan, France, etc. , and Sixth Generation Chinese film-makers .

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Nothing amazing really. Made a short movie and wrote a novel, but I think "amazing" is too strong a word to describe my talents.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

Can teach ice skating quite well even though I am not all that great at it. Can maybe teach you something about film history or theory since that was my bachelor degree and I have a strong passion for movies. Now am training to be a Chinese teacher, so can maybe teach you some Chinese too.
