I met my conversation partner for the first time during the tea at CIES. Biou is very outgoing and has a very vibrant personality. She seems to have made a lot of friends within the program already, several students came up to her during our conversation. One of the first things we talked about was how Tallahassee is so different from her home. Having grown up in Beijing, Biou prefers life in the big city and she was a little shocked at how small Tallahassee is (although, she did mention that she thought it was very peaceful).
Biou absolutely loves music and we ended up talking about it for quite a while. Back home she plays keyboard in a predominately male band. I got to listen to one of her songs, which I thought was awesome but totally didn’t expect heavy metal/rock to be her genre. She told me that her band was very popular back home, and even showed me some of the band photos that they’ve had taken. We talked about possibly going to one of the concerts either at Floyds or one of the other music venues in town which she seemed really excited about doing. We ended up having a lot in common and I’m really excited to meet up with her again.
You must post the link to Biou's website immediately! Good idea about checking out some shows.

ReplyDeleteI followed your link to the my space page. How cool is that? I can see the juxtaposition and why you did not expect that. Very interesting!
