标题[Intr] Hello everyone~

Name: excelate
Nickname: Betty
Birthday: 11 Jan 198_
Hobbies: Piano, movies, reading
Occupation: medstudent doing internship in Tainan
I was born in Taiwan, but lived in South Africa for
about 12 years. I can't say that I speak wonderful English
but it's relaxing to have a place where I can use it freely.
Up until now I have spent almost half of my life in an English-
speaking environment. It was the language I used during most
of my studying years. It took me quite a few years before I
could finally stop translating what I heard in Chinese to English
and have my response translated from English to Chinese before
I could speak it (my response in Chinese) out loud.
(Quite a lot of trouble, huh?)
I don't have too much time right now for casual reading (novels,
etc) So it's pretty much down to a movie without Chinese subtitles
now and then. I found this place while wandering around in ptt,
and reading some of the posts made me feel happy that I found it.
Hope to keep my English updated with every visit here :)
