A-self-introduction


My name is Vivi, and I am 19 years old. I hail from Hsinchu City and am currently enrolled in the Accounting Information program at Taipei Business University. I am a sophomore in college. There are four members in my family: my dad, mom, younger brother, and myself.

My interests include binge-watching TV series, watching anime, reading manga, and listening to music. I am not a fan of sports or doing household chores, and I don't know how to cook. When I have free time, I prefer staying at home and sleeping. My favorite anime is Detective Conan, and my favorite cartoon character is Pom Pom Purin.
