Hello everyone!

I am chinese and was born in Sweden 1985. 27 years young and I would like to get to know some new asian friends. Why asian? Because I travel to Asia once a year. And I would like to get to know some people over there. New people to have lunch/dinner with after/before a long shopping day in Your town. I would like to travel so much I can while I am young. Once I get my own family, I cant do it anymore. Im still single and I want to explore the world as much as I can before I can find The one to spend the rest of my life with. Especially Asia. I love the people and the weather, and the best part, the exotic food (I love spicy food).

I travel to Hongkong and Bangkok every year (since 2004), so its kinda traditonal thing for me. I know its stupid, but I told myself 8 years ago (2004) that I will travel around so much I can these ten years. After that, I will not travel anymore. So I have two years left to enjoy my life..

These past eight years, I have been to Hongkong eight times, Bangkok eight times, Seoul two times, Taipei two times, China several times (business and pleasure trip), Manila one time, Jakarta one time, Singapore two times, Iceland one time and New York one time (two months ago). This year (dec 2012) I will go to Hongkong (again), Bangkok (again) and Singapore (and again).

Before I quit travel, I have to visit Tokyo, Mongolia and Cambodia. I still have two years left to explore Asia.

Back to the topic: Im in this forum because I want to get to know new friends. I always travel alone (not many people can go with me because I cant stay in a country for more than three days, maximum five in each city. I get easily bored, thats why I always go by myself) and I love it. I can do whatever I want, eat whatever I want to, and sleep/wake up whenever I want to. The best part is: I can do exactly whatever I want.

If you live in Asia, and looking for some new friends. Dont hesitate to contact me. I am very easy to talk to and get along. It dosent matter if you are not good in english (my isnt that perfect either) but I am sure that we can still communicate somehow to each other.

I speak swedish, english, teo chew (I am origin teo chew nang), cantonese, understand vietnamese and mandarin.

My hobby: travel to unknown place, eat weird food and visit places nobody want to go (I have been to Iceland and I would like to visit Antartica before I die).

Sorry, I think I just wrote too much about me. Please email me if you want to know more about me. Its my second day here in this website, so I dont know so much about this forum. Give me some time and I will learn.

If you will ever come to Sweden/Stockholm, contact me. I can show you my town around better than a guide book does!

My quatation: `Treat people the way you want to be treated`.

Cheers!,

P.S. Look for me in Facebook if you want to get to know me more, or search for my email address: helen_85_Forever@yahoo.se.

By the way im'm half chinese and half filipino , can speak a little mandarin.

Unfortunately it is not that easy to find job here. The unemployment is extremely high here already (many people got money from the goverment). If you want to work here from abroad, you will have to be `special`. Example: We dont have any filipino restaurant in Stockholm. Restaurant owner can put an ad at the job center website. If the restaurant owner still can not find any employer, THEN he/she can take people abroad. Or else, it wont work.

Or example if you work with SONY ERICSSON in Asia. I think they can change you so you can sit in the office in Stockholm/Sweden instead (if you wish to).

Let me know if you want to know more
