ABOUT ME

Graduated from college in May 2011. Went back to China after graduation to see friends, ended up staying for a year. Was in Taipei from 2012-2013 taking classes at the Taipei National University of the Arts. I speak Mandarin, love China, and am involved with a lot of classical music stuff.
