Yiwen Zhu

she is a friend of mine.
she was class mate during my MSc programme in Delft.
a shy and quiet lady, but extraordinarily amazing.

I love the way she explores the viewpoints.
check these for examples:

Muntok's golden moment was back in 18th century until the day of New Order, where national development was centralized in Java. Similar to other places outside Jawa, Muntok losing its importance, despite its richness as on of Tin mines in Bangka Island. Yesterday I didn't manage to walk around the city much. Yet, thru stories from Brain Team we can quickly assume the city loses it's main energy: Youth. *it will be really nice to have more facts from detailed demography statistic data...I will post it as soon as we get the data.
