Hello, I'm 21 years old and come from Switzerland.

I have two younger brothers 17 and 19 years and also a sister whos 25. I live here in this small country which you perhaps know because of our neutrality. I don't quite know, what you think about swiss people, but this place is surely nice, but also a bit boring. there are no sanrio or kawaii shops here! and i find this very tragic because i looooove all these great japanese stuff very much.

thats because during my apprentice i had a lot of time and not much to do. and there was always a computer nearby so everything i did was surfing through the internet and find all these great things from abroad. but unfortunately it is so difficult to get those things. mostly it is just too expensive to ship the goods to me from america or japan.

I would loooove to go to japan one day. but a flight is so expensive that i first have to save money the next ten years...:(( (of course also for all the things i want to buy there:))

I also love those little things which you can make by yourselfe. for example papertoys. there are so many great submissions which you can use and i'm always very grateful when i find a new one on web!

i'm not really good at knitting or sewing. i have a lot of ideas but i can't realize them. i always have to ask my big sister, shes a kindergarden teacher, so that she can help me doing it. i'm better doing with paper. i love the tv show "art attack". i always trie to do those handicrafts. they have great ideas!!

im in a scouts club and there i have a group with five girls from 7 to 10 years. its not really a scouts club, but theres no other word in english to describe this. we meet once a week for one hour and then we cook something together, go outside or do a lot of handicraft work. once a year all groups togehter (about 50 girls) go in a camp and there we do more handicraft and girly-stuff.

i love my group very much. my girls are all very cute. and i also do this for free, because i want to do something for the kids. so that they not only sit at home and watch tv or sit in front of the computer (like me:)

if you want to make me happy, just send me something creative and colorful which is given with love. thats most important for me. when i can open the package and feel that this person wanted to make me smile. altough perhaps not everything suits perfect to me. its all about sharing good moments with others and also finding new friends.

or send me a typical thing from your country. its always very exciting to get something that you havent known before.

Okay, but to make it easier,here is a list of things i would like to get:

•everything Kawaii

• BENTO Stuff: i recently bought my very first bento box and just fell in love with all these great bento accessoires (sauce bottles, egg molds, food cups and more) unfortunately nothing of these are available here and so i would be more than happy to get those stuff!

i love everything thats colorful. the more colors the better. and i like every color except of purple and pale colors. my favourite colors are: red, pink, orange, turquoise and bright green.

i love it, when everything fits together (like all shades of one color) in a package.

i also like fruits very much. i think cherries, strawberries and apples are my favourite. but i also like oranges, lemons, pineapples; and i like all things with fruits on them.

theres not much i really don't like. i'm open for everything.

just these:

•skulls

•gold

•coconut

•purple

•too kitschy things

•i'm alergic on faked earrings and necklaces so please don't send me those. i can't wear them.

Im a big movie fan. but i like the older movies a bit more. i mean movies like GREASE, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, FLASH DANCE AND DIRTY DANCING.

But my aaaabsolut favourit movie is LE FABOULEUX DESTIN D'AMELIE POULAIN its a french movie which tells the story of a girl called amelie (audrey tautou). a very colourful movie with fantastic little details. just great!!

I listen a lot of different music. but most of the time i just listen what comes out of my radio.

although at the moment these are my favourites:

bonnie tylor

pink

me first and the gimme gimmes

Sina

something corporate

sting

phil collins

aretha franklin

and i love the music from these films:

saturday night fever

GREASE

I'm very ecxited to start swapping and hope that i can make others happy with my sendings!!
