Olya-Ellie

Hello! My name is Olya. I'd love to hear from you! You can write me in English, Chinese or Russian.
I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I lived in China for a year and a half.

A little about me:
I am an avid reader, among my favourite books are The Catcher in the Rye, Three Comrades, Gone With the Wind, To Kill a Mockingbird... So you can see I prefer time-tested classics. I am a huge fan of Diana Wynne Jones, the author of Howl's Moving Castle, Chrestomanci series, Fire and Hemlock and many other novels.
I am a big fan of Zhang Yimou, a Chinese film director. His muse, Gong Li, is my favourite actress. I like old Soviet films as well.

My favourite postcard subjects are:

- The Catcher in the Rye
- Beijing, Beijing Opera, China, Chinese traditional painting
- Pre-raphaelites, J.W. Waterhouse
- Keep Calm
- deers
- Native American cultures
- Jeeves and Wooster
- hobbits, Middle-earth
- Hogwarts
- inspiring phrases, quotes

I also like pictures of beautiful lakes, mountains, seas, rivers, lighthouses, castles, small villages... Surprise me!

Tell me something about yourself: what you like, what you do every day, or maybe about your dreams, children, job, just anything. Don't be afraid that your message will be "silly" - I swear it won't! The only thing I don't like is when people write something like "My city is situated in ..., with the population of ..." and all that Wikipedia stuff. I'd like to know more about your place, but not in such a "formal" way. :) And if you decide to write me a letter and send it in the envelope with your postcard - that will be great.
