Hello there, my name is Georgiana, I just found italki today and i feel it is quite a useful place where i can improve my english and build my vocabulary. I have a strong sympathy for needy and people who are in deep misery. I dreamed of being a hero since i was a kid so I picked up karate for 2 and a half year when i was in college.
And for history reasons, i dont like Japan.

- Taken / 96 hours I watched an old movie today, called "Taken", which is about a father, as well as a retired CIA agent travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who was kidnapped on a trip to Paris. It is so great a movie to me that the father is so intellegent and brave enough to step into a complicated crime patry without a single doubt about anything and killed whoever want to stand in his way. Yet there is no denying that the scene is bloody and violent, but im so happy to see all bad guys end in paying what they have done wrong. I like the line when the actor said as he got a chance to talk to a member of the human trafficing of Albanian Mafia " I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." It is a happy ending with bad people cost their life for nasty kidnapping and the father-daughter relatonship goes closer than ever before. But it sort of remind me of another movie i saw before--"Human Trafficking (2005)." Anyway that is a bloody sad, hopeless, desparate movie .June 23, 201221
