ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Johanna from Germany. I grew up in a little valley near Aschaffenburg which is a city in franconia, bavaria. For my studies (online journalism) I moved to Darmstadt and now I'm living in Beijing, doing an internship till december 2010.
I really enjoy the chinese culture, especially the chinese food (I am a vegetarian and they do have a lot of interesting soy products and different sorts of tofu).
I like to read books or magazines, creative writing and photography.

PHILOSOPHY

百聞不如一見。
