Overview
About Me
Interests
Running. (So far half marathon in 02:09 is my best, hope I can get the chance to run 2015 Chicago marathon!)
Traveling.
Trying all the fancy restaurants(I spend all my money on that so not much budget left for hotels is part of the reason I'm on CS, honestly).
Coffee lover (Intelligentsia is my fav. Verve the 2nd.)
Museums lover.
Started learning piano recently. Ultimate goal is to play some Chopin. :)
Broadway shows (Chicago is my fav. I don't know why so many things I love are relate to the city Chicago, honestly)
...I don't know. It might take me several days to complete this list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Cross country road trip all alone with literally everything I have. Though my car broke down at White Sand National Park and I had to fly back eventually. The funny thing is that when the ranger came to rescue me, he missed me cuz I was happily taking pictures that I didn't look like I was in trouble at all.
