Hello!
My name is Daria and I'm a 20 years old female form Moscow, Russia. ICe started to learn Japanese this autumn. I'm a university student and work as a secretary. I like history and culture of foreign countries; I think that it's very interesting to know more (or something at last) about people, who live far from me, and their customs.
There wasn't good weather here this summer, so the most part of my free time I've spent at cinemas. I like cinema a lot. And it's a pity that there weren't any good films recently. That's why I read a lot now. Last book I've read was "Battle Royal" by Koshun Takami. It's a great book.
Thx for reading my massage. See ya!
