Myself, me and I ...

- My name is Masha...
Masha is the tender pet name derived from "Maria" in Russian and Ukrainian.
My real name is Maria. Maria Cortas.

I was born on the 5th of September 1975... I am originally from Zahlé, (Lebanon) and I live in the capital Beirut.

I'm a computer science graduate, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics.

I speak fluently English, French, Swedish and Arabic. A little bit of Italian too. I am doing great efforts to improve my rotten German... It's not an easy language!! So, I'm looking for pen-friends (or should I say "mail-friends" 8^)....) who know German, and who'd like to correspond in German...
