For those who don't know me...               Hanna Magdalena schneider
 
 I was born 29th sept 1982 in Berlin to Jiri and Marcela Schneider,  both emigrants from Czechoslovakia that had been invaded by the russian occupation power in 1968.
.
I grew up with both languages -german and czech- in Berlin -Wilmersdorf, a nice and green barrow in the south-west of berlin's center.
.
To my interests i counted fighting sports and video-games till about age twelve. 
(I did tae kwon do, judo and Ju-jutsu, I played nes and sega and computer games like day of the tentacle, monkey island, sam & Max, civilization...)
.
Later, aged 13,  i discovered my passion for aerobics, especially step-aerobic with dance elements. I was really crazy about it. I did it three times a week, two hours each time, for three years. I also sang in Berlin's girls choir and i was member of my school's steel-band. 
(for those who don't know it: It's mostly calypso music, coming from trinidad, played on empty oil-barrels. we also played classical stuff like bach's air or händel's halleluja, jazz,  children's songs or own compositions. WE used to play on street-parties like the berlin-marathon. I had a really nice time with my steel-band and i regret that those times are gone)
.
And finally after 10th grade I Went to sweden as exchange-student with YFu -youth for understanding
 
 
 
 
I have been here in Sweden since August 1999. I first lived in the country side but i switched my hostfamily after 3 months and went to gothenburg
Here i came to mormon host parents and i stayed here untill now.
.
sweden is an incredibly beautiful country, especially in the summer. The people are kind, but they seem a bit strange sometimes. My problem is only that i miss my family, i miss talking czech and making czech jokes with my mum. I actually don't miss germany at all.  if you live among swedes you soon realize how arrogant the german mentality is.
( I don't say that all germans are arrogant)
.
I decided to stay here one more year in order to get my graduation in Sweden so that I don't have to return to the german school. but that also means getting an own apartment. so let's see how everything developes.
 
 
I am very fond of snowboarding and here in sweden i became member of the gothenburg snowboardclub which means that
i snowboard during almost every vacation i have. 
 
 
 
 
here are some of my "artworks": 
Marie Fredriksson, roxette's singer, was actually the reason why i went to sweden. her swedish songs made me love the language.
.
Dolores o'riordan, head of the cranberries, is another goddess that had also been target to my drawings.
 
 
 
 
there are things that turn me off, too. 
cigarettes for example.
You're welcome to copy those two images
and spread them.
( mardröm is swedish and means nightmare )
