Hi, my name is Helen (or Elena, or 叶琳娜), I'm a russian girl from south of Russia, currently live in Guangzhou, China. My specialization is oriental studies (China, Japan), so I'm interested in everything about Asia. But, actually, I like to learn new things, so if you can teach me something - from dancing to a new word in your native language - it would be perfect!
My main hobby is a learning foreign languages, of course! So you can talk with me using english, 还可以用汉语聊天儿, и, конечно, мы можем общаться по-русски! 日本語もいいです :)
I can play (a little!) guitar and guzheng , also like singing (I learn by myself), travelling, reading and I do like watching films.

P.S. I live in dormitory, so I only can hang out with you, sorry!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Climbing at Taishan mountain (泰山) in the dark, just to see the sunset
- I swam in the sea at the dark night. There were only stars above me and sea water under me. I was felt myself like in open space. Amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you:
1) Some words and phrases on Russian or Chinese, or even on Japanese (I'm still not so good at it, but I do my best)
2) How to cook dishes of russian cuisine and, maybe, of chinese cuisine
3) (maybe something else)
And I'm happy to learn everything you can teach me :)
