~~ woooooo I graduated from University of Portsmouth with a BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology​ (boring, I know, but finally over =_='') SO now I'm doing MSc Internationa​l Finance at Kingston University. おうえんしてください〜〜​ (^o^)/

Very excited to meet people from / interested in the Japanese and Korean language, culture, and societies, and also those of the Western world as well [UK is my specialty since I live here :)] Oh, and I'd love to help people with their English language concerns so come on down!!

People interested in improving their English, or want to do language exchange of Japanese and/or Korean. Sorry my Mandarin is no good, and my Cantonese barely exists. But I'll put more effort to learn. Let's all do our best in broadening our horizons, okay??

>>And I have to say this because people keep doing it - Do NOT try to add me as a friend or on MSN or Skype or whatever if we haven't even spoken or developed a rapport. I will REJECT you as such things intrude on my real-time personal life<<​

I can help others with English (need not be an exchange, as I can give away my native language, no problem hahaha). If possible, when communicatin​g with a Japanese or Korean, I'd like to use some, if you don't mind. But I'm not that good so... plenty of English lol

Karaoke, horror movies, animated films, manga/manhwa​, korean/japan​ese dramas, hip-hop, rnb, pop, rock, music that should only be danced to when drunk, breaking (breakdance)​, badminton, keeping up on my favourite idols (the fangirl in me won't leave me alone!!), and I do enjoy a good party with friends though I'm also the type to take random walks as well. I enjoy taking so-called 'artistic' photos, though my artistic vision is not so fine ^^;;

I also do some addictive gaming on PS2 (Tenchu series, FF8/10/12, Katamari Damacy); PSP (DJ Max Portable 1/2, Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core);  Wii (Mario Party, Sonic and Mario Olympics, Wii Sports).

Mainly kpop/Jpop and hip-hop / rnb / rock from those countries. But, being raised in UK, the usual Western music apply. I do like to get my dance on soooo if you love hip-hop dance, we must enjoy the same music generally ^^ I also can't let go of my American rock music...

For 'fun'? Korean, Japanese, and American horror films / collections.​
Otherwise? Movies displaying kinds of kung fu with fantasy.
The overall truth? I enjoy ALL films, and I mean that.

すきなアニメ：
In anime, I have enjoyed:
Zombie Loan; Full Metal Panic; Bleach; Naruto; Fruits Basket; Ouran High School Host Club; Blood+; Saiyuki + Reload; Hellsing; Neon Genesis Evangelion; Shugo Chara; Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu. It seems I haven't watched much anime of note in my life ^^;;

Mainly comics as I can't find prose to suit my tastes these days.

I'm actively reading Saiyuki, Blade of the Immortal, Bleach, Naruto and Fruits Basket. They didn't finish yet >.<

The only written books I am reading right now are 'Battle Royale' by Takami Koushun, 'Kafka on the Shore' by Murakami Haruki, and Anne Rice's vampire series. I've gotten as far as finishing 'The Vampire Lestat'. I also enjoyed Suzuki Koji's books somewhat. They satisfied my urge for some 'supernatura​l' horror at that time.

The 'Tales of the Otori' series by Lian Hearn melted my heart. So did 'Out' (アウト) by Kirino Natsuo.
