My new sweet home

    Recently, I just moved into the new apartment with my brother, we used to live in homestay, but different host family though, so it is kind of weird for me to have a family who is around me but was not living together. Then, we decided to find a 2 bedroom apartment for us to continue our abroad live in Seattle. My room is little bit smaller then my brother’s and it is down to the corridor when every time I open my door the first thing that I will see it’s my laundry basket and my desk. Above my desk there has my piggy bank that I keep my all changes. Beside my cute piggy bank is the souvenir from my friend Nicola, she gave me that drum after she came back from her previous trip to Hawaii.  I rarely use my desk, so there are bunch of small stuff on the top of the table and I also use the chair for hanging my towel as you can see. Next to my desk it is my bookshelf, but I have not placed any book yet, and on the very top of my red bookshelf have the one thing that I really proud about it is my priceless big tennis ball. It was signed by lots of famous professional tennis player and I got that when I was studying in Melbourne, Australia 2009 since then it became one of my treasures and I have been carrying it wherever I go. I also have 3 tennis racquets in my room I placed it between my bookshelf and my small red table. To the right of the red table that I always use it to put my laptop and do my homework it is my colorful bed, I just changed my sheet 2 days ago and it is full size mattress. In back of my bed it is my wardrobe and it has a mirror inside. The floor of my room is carpeted; the walls are painted by beige. On the wall I put up 7 pieces of my tennis idol's posters and my family’s pictures as well, but too shame that in this picture only shows one. In short, I am very much satisfied with my new room even though it is not big enough to put all my stuff in, yet it makes me feel not only roomy but also warm.

About Myself

Hello, my name is Duri and I am from Taiwan, now I am student of South Seattle Community College. My favorite sports are tennis and basketball. I like to cook and I want to be a chef in the future, so I will study Culinary arts after I graduate ESL classes, my dream is to open a restaurant and be named by my name. I like to travel around, I have been a lot of city, mostly are Asian countries which is fun, and before I came here, I was study in Melbourne, Australia for a year, I choose to study there because I want to see the tennis tournament is called "Australian Open." It was an awesome experience for me, I had a lot of fun while I was in Melbourne. The next State I'd like to travel is Europe, and I want to explore there as backpacker, I think it will bring me more challenge.
