About Me:

I am an American born Chinese raised in the slums of New York City. I recently graduated from college and currently teaching English in Daejeon (Taejon), South Korea. I am a very curious person and I am the type that would question about everything. I am looking for some carefree conversation​s about culture, politics or even economics (I was an economics major). I do not judge a person by his or her physical appearance nor do I like people who do. If you are interested in learning about the States and my everyday encounters in Korea, feel free to drop me a line or two.

Requests:

Earthlings only!

Interests, Hobbies, etc.:

I love to listen to music of every genre. I am very interested in sight seeing and taking pictures. I love food and cooking (at least I think I can cook).

Favorite Music:

Anything with a good beat or with a good rhyme.
-Simple Plan, Green Day, Linkin Park, Orange Range, Def Tech, Epik High, Buckcherry, Temptations,​ Mongol 800, One Republic, Citizen Cope, Yael Naïm, The Fray, Fugees, S.H.E, Kelly Chan, Sammi, Hacken Lee, Beyond, Yui, Nickelback, Jackson 5, Eminem, Raico, Homemade, Black Eyed Peas, etc

Favorite Movies:

V for Vendetta, X-Men, August Rush, Save the Last Dance I, Blood Diamond, Death Note, Zatochi, American Psycho, Simpsons Movie, Superman Returns, classic Christmas movies, etc.

Favorite Books:

I have a lot of books that I like. To list a few, I like A Clockwork Orange, Death of A Salesman, Of Mice and Men, Some of the Harry Potter Books, Paradox of Choice, Water for Elephants and A Wizard of Earthsea.

Favorite Quotes:

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
- Buddha

its been rough. working two jobs doesn't seem like it was that great of an idea right about now- but maybe it will seem worht it later? i dunno. luckily school is quickly approaching.​ i'm actually excited about most of my classes except geography but i'll be taking a directing class, an acting class and chinese- those should hold my attention and keep me happy.

talk to you soon

cool. you must never be bored when you're at home. i never went out much when i lived in BK but i lived in a really bad part of town so i guess that's my mom's reasoning.

i was definitely thinking of using a recruiting firm. i'm really scared of going out there and being abandoned. i've  heard stories about people not getting paid and one even said that his school director tried to rent his apt to someone else while he was still living there.

i don't know about swathmore. i know cedar crest and muhlenberg are in allentown. i haven't been here that long- about 2 years. i grew up in ny- in bk. have you ever been to dorney park? that's about 20 min from my house. did you use one of those recruiting companies to place you? i've been reading this girl's blog- her contract is just about up and she'll be coming home soon. she said she didn't use one. its really cute she puts up little videos of her students and pictures of her apt. i always feel super creepy when i visit it tho because i don't actually know her- i just followed the link she posted on soompi. thanks 4 answering. i was really excited to hear from you!
