Hello World! My name is Jaleel people also call me Julian and I have a Chinese name too 杰力. I was born and raised in Moscow Russia, but now, I am a student in Turkey Istanbul.

I have been living in Istanbul since the age of 20, for the last 5 years, also did my Erasmus Exchange program in Rotterdam in The Netherlands where I spent half a year and was my first Experience of Western Europe. Also I did an exchange in China Shanghai and fallen in love with this city and Chinese language and culture.
