    hi! I am nang shwe li tun, 23 years old. I am from taunggyi, a small city in myanmar. My parents moved a lot of cities for their jobs while i was young, so i got amazing childhood by travelling. Now, i am waiting for my graduation result from west yangon technological university to be an electric engineer but it is not quite simple especially during these current situations in myanmar. Even though i am not graduated yet, i started working for a local isp company as a noc engineer. I hope i could achieve my dreams after these crises
