I live in the UK, in the historic town of York. Have previously lived in Edinburgh and Sweden and other parts of North Yorkshire too.

Languages: English och Svenska =)

Interests: Japan, chocolate, monkeys, reading, snail mail letters, Scotland, languages, belly dancing, travel, bookcrossing, music, concerts, films, Sweden, tea, New Zealand, Ghibli films, camels, Australia, books, reading,

Jewellry making (beads, wire etc), dressmaking, painting, drawing

Old Hollywood films with people such as Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Kathryn Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman.... and all the Hitchcock films.

I travelled in Japan in 2007 for 5 weeks and I really miss so much about the country, so I am especially interested in swaps with people from Japan:

• Japanese chocolates-candies-sweets (expecially this Meji banana chocolates that come in a small yellow box with monkeys on - I really miss these!!!) and also green tea kit kat.
• Studio Ghibli things (especially Totoro and Kiki Delivery Service) - letter sets, stickers etc etc
• also anything from this range of items. I am not sure what it is called. You know the shopping centre Sunshine City in Tokyo? I bought a letter set there and the pictures were pieces of cartoon tofu squares with faces. Really cute!
• A4 advertisement leaflets of art exhibitions (mainly traditional japanese woodblock pictures)

I really love Bic Runga's music. If anyone in New Zealand has any New Zealand released Bic Runga CD singles they want to swap, or even the guitar chord book, please get in touch! =)

Teas, chocolate (but nothing with peanuts), beads for jewellry making, asian style stationary, bookcrossing books, monkey things, black and white postcards of old Hollywood filmstars, etc

Postcards and things to do with York, teabags, some very random CD singles (ask what I have!), bookcrossing books, British sweets and chocolates and other random things...
