Quoted from "bella"

Poland is saying hello to China!
Oh, I see I don't have to tell you how wonderful, absolutely addictive, full of fantastic, crazy people and the best ever this forum is (though I just did it, again ) 'cause you already know it, I guess, as I read in your welcome post.

So nothing more to add besides that: HAVE FUN!

+ Nice to see another member from China who likes polish volleyball!

And Kasia Skowrońska is one of my favourite female players so high five!
And I like your nickname

Ok, I'm disappearing right now...

I envy you guys because being in Europe, you usually know several languages...... The grammars are similar and you can easily learn another foreign language..
I am sorry that I can only speak English, and a little Japanese..... English seems the easiest foreign language, but I have already studied it for 15 years and still not good enough....( Chinese students are required to learn English since they are in primary school until they go to college)

I envy you that you can speak Japanese even if it's only "a little". I have always been fascinated by Japan, the culture and language. Actually, the whole Asian continent is like a different world for me, Asians are fascinated 'cause they seems to be completely different than I am or any other person from Europe. For example, Martee very often see some things in different way than I and that's why I like to read his posts. And that's why I'm always happy to see on this forum another member from China or any other country from Asia

Anyway, I want to know more about you. Your favorites, your hobbies, your culture, and yourselves! Hope we can be good friends!

What can I say... I'm crazy about volleyball and sometimes I wish I could kick out some commentator or journalist to be even closer to this sport. I'm totally in love with my white-red guys and it's everlasting love, absolutely everlasting... Of course, I support our girls too. When I was a little girl I prefered watching female volleyball probably because I was in this age - in primary school, I think - when girls don't play with boys and vice versa. I'm a loyal fan and I'm always an optimist no matter how hopeless the situation is

I'm a big fan of handball as well. Watching our handball players gives more or less same results as watching our volleyball players - they give us abnormal dose of emotions, cause heart attacks and they make you can't not love them (because of fighting spirit, big heart to the game and all those stuff ). So I get a little confused when matches of volleyball and handball are on tv in the same time (like it was yesterday)

Talking about sport, since I remember I have been watching ski jumping. Adam Małysz ended his fantastic career and now he's a rally driver so I'm pretty sure that I will start to watch rallies soon

Actually Ocean is my English name though it's a bit uncommon as it seems. My Chinese name refers to "Ocean" in English, so I just choose Ocean as my English name!

What a lovely name you have How it sounds in your language?

Would you like to share the meaning of dragon in Poland?

The only dragon that came to my mind if it comes to connection with my country is Smok Wawelski (Wawel Dragon). It's a dragon from Kraków (ang. Cracow), former Polish capital. According to legend, during the reign of King Krak in Cracow appeared dragon which demanded the sacrifice of animals and if not the dragon ate people. King Krak send his two sons to kill the dragon. They couldn't defeat the monster so they invented a trick. They gave him a stuffed bovine skin with sulfur and the dragon strangled itself by this. To this day, at the foot of Wawel Hill in Cracow stands a statue of a dragon breathing fire.

Singing, dancing, you are an active girl! You come to a lot of parties, right? I want to know what a typical party is like. Do people dress up in costumes, drink a lot, go wild in parties? In China when people hold parties, they usually go to Karaok bars, sing a lot of songs, drink beers, sometimes play the dice. What's the difference when the Polish party?

Yup, I love parties, but who don't like it?
I don't know if I can tell you about a typical party. There are many people in Poland, everyone likes something different. I love costume parties though I have never been at such type of party (what a pity) but it fascinates me 'cause some of my friends have participated in such parties and they told me this and that. So I am determined to go on a costume party
About drinking alcohol it depends on people as well but the truth is that it's integral part of the party very often. Though there are still many people having fun without alcohol.
Karaoke is great stuff I love it.
