CURRENT MISSION

Finish school, to get the job that will set me free

ABOUT ME

Oh, first thing first, I can't go thru CS's verification process because I only have American-issued credit cards with american billing addresses.
Born and raised here in Beijing, but moved to the United States since junior high school, spent last 10 years of my life there. I really regret didn't do much travelling while in college or before entering the college, so my remaining hope lays with either finding a new job that will pay for my travelling or CS!

PHILOSOPHY

I just come to the realization maybe there isn't a purpose in life, as far as the universe is concerned, whatever we hold dearly is way too insignificant by galactical light-years.
Ha, but life goes on!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch! I can host, it's not much, but there's a couch, and an empty bed actually, cooking is not possible though. I am currently in Beijing for the foreseeable short future, the city has changed so fast and so much, even I have to adjust to it, but I might be able to show someone around the city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It is official! and the winner of "My Very First CouchSurfing Guest" goes to (drum rolls)...
Vladimir Nikitin! Conguadulations!
and the honor award of "who was supposed to be my very first coushsurfing guest" goes to (drum rolls)...
Alberto Ramirez! conguadulations! (Vladimir stole his spot)
I think it's crazy that how CouchSurfing has brought the nicest people around the entire world together!

Interests

history in general, thought-provoking ideas, things in creative nature, world culture and foreign languages. there's too much, I always fear our lives are too short to experience what the world has to offer, but then I should have quit smoking first, oh well...
and of course, Texas Hold'Em ("no officer, we are not playing for money",at least that's what we say :))
