hi there! i'm a 20 years old girl from italy, attending the faculty of eastern asian languages in venice. my first language at university is mandarin, and as a second i chose tibetan - it's the oddest i've ever approached :))   i can speak native italian, quite good english and basic spanish.

my main interests are reading books, listening to all good kinds of music, and most of all, movies: i am a real cinemaniac,especially about european and asian films.

what i've really been into lately is travelling, although i still haven't been out of europe, but i'm planning to visit china soon.
i'm looking for open minded people, who love writing long letters or e-mails and are not afraid to compare with other cultures.
what i appreciate most besides sharing interests are spontaneousness and sense of humour. i don't care about sex, religion, or country, although it would be better if you were around 18-30.

going to irish pubs (possibly in ireland:))
dancing: i took 8 years of ballet and contemporary dance
enjoying simple things like dining with a few close friends
shopping :)
learning new things about china, chinese people and chinese culture
opening a world map and look for the next place to go
getting drunk, when it
