Hi there! My name is Marina and originally I am from Kyiv, Ukraine. Currently, I am studying Japanese language and literature, meanwhile trying my best to do some fun stuff, such as getting drunk with friends of mine in cozy pubs, or visiting operas and theatres.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classic, rock, blues, folk music. One of my favorite bands and artists are Morphine, Hindi Zahra, Lhasa de Sela, J.A. Seazer, Satie etc.
Huge fan of b/w films, to be more concrete `New wave ` in French and Japanese cinematography, or old soviet films ( surely the ones having no propaganda of the Party). One of my favorite films are `Soliaris` by Tarkovskiy and `Woman in the Dunes` by Hiroshi Teshigahara.
