Hello!
I'm a silly little lady named Krista from Dayton, Ohio (U.S.A.) I moved back to my hometown to take care of my parents after spending over 10 years living abroad in Japan and China.

please feel free to send me a postcard in:
*English
*Spanish (un poco)
*日本語
日本在住歴10年、日本語での会話、読み書きは可能です。 キティちゃん、ディズニー系、アニメ系、そして芸者さんは好みではありません。かわいいものとか、子供らしいものをご遠慮ください。少し変わっているもの、哀愁感がするものはかなり好きです。よろしくお願いします。

*中文／國語 (简体字／繁体字 Ok!)
現在我在一個中國的公司做翻譯的工作。
我很喜歡學習中文。我20年多以前在中国的西安留学一年了。我學習中國的歷史，文化，中文了。
2000年我也去台灣的台北旅遊了。很好玩！
我在日本10年住過了。那時候我做日文的翻譯。我的日文比中文好多了，可是這年我希望我會把我的中文水平提高！

I like:
*architecture (Modern, Mid-Century or Traditional)
*interior design
*nature (foliage, sea, lake, waterfall, bamboo)
*snow scenes, anything with snow!!
*art
*cats
*dancers or dance related
*apparel: shoes, vintage dresses, traditional dress
*smoking devices (pipe, cigarette, water pipe)
*pretty ladies
*black & white photos
*I absolutely love autumn and winter.
*I also love bold, rich colors such as purple (my favorite!!), green or deep blue!

If you have a weird or unique postcard and don't know who to send it to, please send it to me!
I have a strange sense of humor, the weirder and more ironic the better!

**Please don't send me postcards like Hello Kitty, Disney, animation/cartoons etc. I absolutely do not like "cute" (kawaii) things or childish humor. (No offense to those who prefer that type, I realize there are a lot of people out there that like such things).**

Please tell me something unique about yourself and your daily life, what do you like to eat from your country etc.
What do you absolutely love? What is your passion. It could be anything! Do you like music? If so, what kind or who is your favorite singer/band/genre? You can even tell me about something you really hate or dislike.

If you can't think of anything, please tell me what your favorite color is and why.
I want to know about you!!!

(If you would like to know more about me, please read below)

I don't have my own children, but I take care of my friends, family and co-workers as though they are my children.

I have quite a strong personality with an artist's temperament and I tend to feel a lot of passion for the things and people I love. My likes and dislikes are clearly defined and I don't tolerate foolishness well.

I enjoy visiting other countries and I love learning foreign languages. I especially enjoy going to the grocery or pharmacy in foreign countries to buy local soap, toothpaste or cosmetics. If you have a favorite cosmetic brand or soap, please tell me.

In the near future I am thinking of going to:
Barcelona, Copenhagen, Prague and Budapest.
My grandparents were from Budapest and I would like to experience Hungary someday.

Thank you for reading and happy postcrossing!
