Hello Everyone! my name's Madoka Hihara, I'm Japanese/Taiwanese, and am 22 years old. I have been living in Portland Oregon for the last four years (for college), and just graduated with a degree in International Relations. I'm moving to Beijing for a year starting in August to learn Chinese, and would love to meet and make new friends! (I currently do not know a single soul in Beijing...which is freaking me out a little bit haha) Anyway, if anyone is going to be around in August and wouldn't mind showing me around, or if anyone wants to make new friends! I would greatly appreciate it 
-Madoka
