It's not easy to describe myself, but I'm basically open-minded.​ I enjoy various things and love daily life.
I'm having a new job, so my life has changed much. I still have tons of things to learn, but it's much better than nothing to study. I always love attaining knowledge :)

FRIENDSHIP only. Please NO marriage and relationship​ proposal, money request, business offer etc. I'm NOT looking for romance here.

Currently I look for a few pen friends, preferably female in my age range.  I already write to many penpals, so I'm sorry if I cannot write back sooner.
