If you would like to, by any chance, use any of my posts or photos somewhere, please let me know before you do so. Upon such notice, I will also gladly provide most of the photos in higher resolution. My e-mail can be found on my profile. Thank you!
Necessary to say, I'm not a native English speaker (as you have probably already figured out from my entries), so please forgive me my mistakes and limited use of language. Other than that, I am an eternal student deeply appreciating good tea and all joys connected to it. Among my other interests is poetry – apart from reading, I also try to do my best in writing it. Then goes film, which is a big passion of mine as well as my field of study. Naturally, I would like to continue and deepen these interests in the future.
