When I’m not at work, I do oriental gymnastics or read books. Free time is the most precious time for me because I can do what I like. I’m very keen on science fiction literature and psychology. I like new and complicated tasks and dream of mastering a perfect level of English. Strength comes from doing things you thought you couldn’t.”
