Hello, my name is Crystal.🌟

I come from Beitou, Taipei. 

It is a great place to come enjoy the beauty of the natural hot springs.♨

My hobby is watching baseball games and my favorite team is "Brothers." ⚾️

Their spirit of never giving up gives me great courage.💪 

Therefore, I would like to pursue a career in investigation. 

I consider myself a kind and affectionate person.☺️

Consequently, I especially love my family and my dog.🐶

My dog is super cute and smart. It can shake hands with people.👋

Above all make my life more colorful. 💛
