Hello! I'm Angelica,a Ph.D student in The Centre of Olympic Studies, doing research in Olympic education.I was born and grew up in Beijing, studied in Oxford, England, and now I'm living in beautiful Barcelona! I like learning languages (favourite is Euskera), sport and travelling. I worked in Beijing Olympic Basketball Gymnasium during the 2008 Olympics Games, but I became an Olympic fan when I was just a 9-year-old! Besides, my birthday is the International Olympic Day(Jun 23), so as my friends and colleagues said, I must be born for the Olympics:)

If you're from any country that has hosted Olympic Games(or will do in future), I shall be super-happy if you may send me a card or use a stamp about the Olympics there (stadiums, olympians, mascot, volunteers...just anything), if your country issues an olympic-special card or stamp I shall love one too! AND, if you send me an UNESCO or UNICEF card or stamp(ISSUED BY the two, NOT the unesco heritages plz)I would like to send you a card back to say thank-you for supporting education in the third world. Pls state on the card bks some of their cards don't show it:)

I'm a fan of Federico Garcia Lorca!!Could you do me a favour plz? His poems have been translated into many languages, plz kindly write a few lines of his poems on the card in your own language and tell me the name of the poem in English or Spanish(or with translation of the lines, which is better!). My favourites are: The butterfly(la Mariposa),Romance of Sleepwalker(Romance Sonambulo),In School and in University(En el Instituto y en la Universidad),Song of the First Wish(Cancioncilla del Primer Deseo), Song of Horseman(Cancion del Jinete). Thank you so much!

Please kindly do NOT send me flowers,food,holiday beaches, country clubs or ad cards UNLESS they are about Olympics:)

-Anything about Olympics and Paralympics!
