Let's cherish sunny day

Saturday morning, I really really want to rush out of my apartment to enjoy that a rare sunshine.I just drive bicyle and visited shops came back to home and eat the hot noodle with salad. I want to go outside again, want to visit city centre that market square and visit hair salon. But I don't want to go alone. Sometimes people want to stay at home just becasue of nobody go with him or her outside. I want to buy swimming suits since my old one looks so loose.I dont' want to wear that visit swimming pool. It seems the responsibility of come to Finland is go shopping. Everyday buy a lots of food and drinks, buy wear sometimes. Soon is Christmas it means have to purchase some gifts. The responsibility of come to Finland is spend money.

In the beginning of winter in Finland, there is snow usually in the November.But not this year. This year seems a bit special,not as warm as normal.

Tampere päivä

What's new in Tampere day in Tampere? October 3th is tampere day, all the museo is free expect we visited that art  and housing exhibiton. We visited housing and art exhibiton and eat good food in HARALD (have to say, there's food so expensive) if you want to know more: http://www.ravintolaharald.fi/

Share some picture in here about exhibiton and restaurant.

This is my plant, I bring some seed from China and try is it possible to let it grow during winter in door. But that was successful in the beginning, goes worse in the end.  Need to try again in next spring.

The painting from Art exhibition, from a Russian painter. Some of the painting cost 38000 euro.

this is HARALD restaurant, from the window you can see the Tampere shopping mall.

the pre-course

the main course for me"wild pig sausage, reindeer meat and a kind of bird, peruna carrot, such"

this is main course for Mr. Rabbit, lamp meat with mashed potato, the soup is sooo great! I suggest you tast if you get a chance.

International family

International family? A lot of people come from different countries? No! Here I don't want to talk about that one. Serisouly, I am really interested in a international couple, each of them belong to different nationality, for example, Finland and China or such. International couple do not mean only two people living together, more interesting part is two family meet together. It's like deal with international issues, negotiation some country stuff. During the international meeting, there is a translator and two country's leader, certainly, other member belong to each group. I have been played translator sometimes, that was not a easy job.

Lauguage barries is rather big issue. It will interrupt people want to express the whole thing. It will have negative impact for communication, since people will misunderstanding or don't have topics. Who discuss daily issues in their own table in their own kitchen need a translator?

Culture difference is another one. If we donnot know what other people talk about, we have translator, but if we donnot understand what other people doing, what can we tranlate? Open-mind play a key role, sometimes, we do not need a translator, we have body lauguage, yes or not, like or not like, through shake head or nod head. If you are happy you can smile, not happy you looks sad. But still, international family not like you deal with your international clients in your company. We have to face different food, different living style, various gift to express your feeling, as such.  Especially, Chinese people have a lot of manner, for other country's people, that is increidable. That is something like your dream, for you is something, for others is nothing. Nobody understand each other, life suddenly become difficult.

Two people living together is easy, but two families stay together is difficult. The difficult part is nothing to talk. If cannot communicate with each other, how can become true friends?

One Chinese restaurant in Tempere

I already mention before that today ate Chinese food in Tempere, and I told my Mr. Rabbit I don't know how to order Chinese food in restaurant although I am a Chinese who only would like to cook by myself, but My Mr.Rabbit good at it, also this restaurant is quite good one.

Hauska Vappu Päivä

Today is international labor day, in China called 劳动节，in Finland called vappu päivä. Usually people gonna hold some activities during vappu päivä in big cities of Finland. And people wear white hats which for they graduate from high school that time wear. Last year, Mr. Rabbit treat me ate the one of the best local Finnish food restaurant in Forssa. This year, I treat him to one Chinese restaurant in Tempere.  


Some people wear special clothes and colorful fake hair come outside, drunk and picnic with their friends on the grass. Full of balloons on the street.

This picture shows Tempere University technology programme students were drop into the water.Don't know who innovation this game.

Above this picture shows so many people wear graduate hats sit on the grass chat with their friends.

 There also have Chinese food or other kinds of food and market place.

Hope you also enjoy your vappu day!

Hot in cleveland

Easter day quite happy, played bowling with my Mr. Rabbit and have hotpot with my Chinese girlfriends, played badminton with Kitty. I forgot take picture about aikapoika,maybe next time do advertising for them, at least they offer so tasty kebab hamburgers.

'Hot in cleveland' is an American series. Mr. Rabbit only download 10 episodes, we watched 7 of them, rather good series. 'Hot in cleveland' is a story talk about three middle-age  and one old ladies enjoy their holiday in cleveland. There is one lady Jane Leeves who played Daphne Moon in another series 'Frasier' which is qutie well-known series (secretly speaking my Rabbit like her especially like Frasier very much) She's so pretty and humor:) classy and fabulous.

   

In fact, in this series, I like Wendie Malick most, since she always don't care about others comments about her not so popular career. And she always tolerant her friends. She's so happy about her doing and satisfy it whether others like or not, laugh her or not. She just be herself. She as same as Phoebe Buffay in friends who is the most funny role in series. But Phoebe has more over personality than Victoria chase has.

Hyvää Pääsiäispäivä!

Pääsiäispäivä means easter day which is this weekend. Usually Finnish people eat lamp in easter day, Mr. Rabbit with me visit Lidl and check the lamp price a bit expensive, then decided buy later and use chicken wings instead of lamp:D


Easter eggs, Easter birdies and Easter bunnies, are all symbols of fertility; the blooming of new life.


Speaking of eating, in Finland, different festivals eat different kinds of food. Such as we eat in tortilla(inside fill in mince-meat vegetable salad) and drink sima Vapunpäiva.

Traditional May Day delicacies are fritters called "tippaleipä" and they are served together with homemade mead, "sima".

Also Christmas eve eat ham and reindeer or salmon fish, drink red wine,etc,base on family habits.

Alanya Adam's Ravintola

Today after school Mr.Rabbit and me visited restaurant in Forssa. Actually, we already visited quite many restaurants in Forssa area. But today Mr.Rabbit suggested me write blog about all Forssa's restaurant, I think it is a really good idea. I can as a guide give other people some advice about where can eat if you want to visit Forssa, Finland.


Now enter today's main topic is Alanya Adam's ravintola, ravintola is finnish words which means restaurant. This is a Turkish restaurant which decoration by handmade product，beautiful plates, different color of lights and famous devil eyes for protect negative power. Share some pictures in here. If somebody interested further information about this local restaurant here have Finnish link:http://www.alanyaadams.com/Alanyaadams/Alkuun.html

Live it up!

Relaxation is also one kinds of learning. Rock music is one way reduce pressure, that was before I known already,after quite long time just forgot it. Luckily constance saw one friend post electronica music in facebook and then found out I was long time didn't listen this type of music.

Life sometimes need to relax, this is reason why we need holiday and hobby. Mr. Rabbit such a relax person who seems have a plenty of hobbies, such as reading, playing chess, watching tv, do sports,etc.

Actually, I also have plenty of potential hobby need i dig out. My life must be colorful as you know. Expect enjoy cooking and eating, also like pretty clothes. Like Chanel said that a girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.    


Just saw one news talk about two Chinese students before studied in same university in China but didn't know each other, after quite many years, both of them decided go to Sweden study then met in Stockholm. After they met with each other 9 days, they decided get married, have to wait until 5 month for get married in city hall. So sweet love story! Actually, when I first time visit Stockholm city hall, I really want to get married in there. The first of all, that is Royal place but every people can get married in there(whoever you are foreigner or not), second of all it's free and special. For me, I think it's interesting thing, but for my Mr. Rabbit as a traditional Finn, I don't think so he agree with me:)Even if I really need something special in my life.

Some thinking after girls appointment

Yesterday evening, two Chinese girl and one Finnish girl hold a small appointment in one Chinese girl apartment.Forssa so small, in the first year, when I just came to Finland study, I met Miss.P, we played floorball sometimes.,then invite me go to yoga, but I was so lazy that didn't go again. And the second year, Miss Lee want to go yoga, so coincidence met Miss.P,they two become friend as well.

We three discussed quite many topics, such as that Finnish girl visited Kenya village in last summer, said she live with her classmate in tent one week. There's no clean water, they have to drive 15 km out of village then bought water from store. There's no electronic, even ask me how about China, does every Chinese family have fridge? I real have no idea.I never been the most poor place in China. I just recalled when I visited Hainan province, there is no supermarket. In that moment, I just cannot believe how it possible somebody want to live this kind of environment without any supermarket?

Expect I need to search which place are most poor area in China, also I need to understand the waste recycle in China. I started to interested about sustainable development this programe which is Miss P. took. She said there is a recycle company deal with plastic in tampere which for export to China. And she asked me do you know Chinese people are using Finnish plastic waste?

Poor Chinese...

I have to admit in this term of recycle waste, Finland did quite good job. Cleantech soon become Finland pillar industry. Let's see current Finland waste recycle system. The first thing is sort, for example I lived this area has a garbage place in front of our building,there is 6-8 big boxes for sort rubbish. Basically, there are divided two parts: energy waste and non-energy waste. Energy waste refer to the waste can be recycle . Otherwise that is non-energy waste, we can burn it go to national heating system. Also have bio-waste, like daily waste, rest of food,etc.

In term of sort,the paper and bottle recycle（http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prM6Asc9a-o） are quite well,i think because of these two are easily to collect, in Finland, we have bottle recycle self-service machine, but in China we don't have, instead, we prefer to sell paper and bottle, also metal to some small traders, however, we don't know how to divided daily waste, we have to spread this part of knowledge to people, let people know the importance of sort wastes. Then the second thing is after sort, need to transfer, after that have to deal with different kinds of waste, let the waste become clean can reuse products.In China this area almost blank. So what we need to do is build perfect waste recycle system, that the recycle become simple, reasonable, lawful.

Chicken soup,girls day

Mr.Rabbit not home this weekend, I have to find something to do, looking for some friends to play with me. Let my weekend turn to as fun as possible, not that boring otherwise I gonna feel not good. In the morning(actually already in 12.30),I heard my phone ring, then picked that call.Miss Pen call me go to swim, she heard my sleepy voice then make unbelievable voice"Are you still sleep? You know what time is it now? quickly get up, I gonna go shopping soon, after that go swimming with you" Then her boyfriend drive us go shopping, and I bought some chicken, she bought meat and strawberry for making pancake.

In the evening, after I chat with my parents, I started cook chicken soup, actually got this idea from another friend, she suggested I cook this for my Mr. Rabbit, but he was not here, so he no chance enjoy it, only me can instead of him enjoy it:) So shame~

Then after I made chicken soup visit her place,the real girls party started. The first of all, I tasted she promised pancake(so yummy and delicious),then she also make one meat soup, I took some. Then Miss.Kitty show her new ipad to me, the ipad was her boyfriend give it to her. I was so jealous, ask myself why I don't have this kind of boyfriend? Recall another Chinese girl told me her boyfriend bought air tickets for her to go back China, I was so jealous too. Ask myself again why I cannot find this kind of boyfriend? Look at what kind of boyfriend I found? Pay almost go dutch. Never buy expensive gift to me, always I bought expensive gift to him. Sole advantage is have good temper,patience, never anger with me.

I think I am not material girl, my daily demand is normal girl all are needed, why I cannot find a boy like others boyfriend? Am I really chase those things shouldn't belong to me? Or am I ask too much stuff? Actually I don't think so. I just not satisfy. Maybe girls want to find a rich boy just go and find a rich boy, or maybe boys want to find a cheap girl, just go and looking for one.

If the love without money, that is not real love. Poor boys should not have girlfriend,they are not qualified.They cannot give any happiness to that girl.

Loot at this relationship, the result is my fault, I want many gifts, so I should find a man who willing to spend money on me, or let my man turn to willing spend money on me:) Boys without money no qualified have girlfriend!!

The gifts is surface thing, it can respresent love you or not, even sometimes you don't believe it. If you love your partner, I think you can do whatever she/he wants.

Language,culture and travel

Couple years ago, I watched one competition about foreigners speak Chinese languages through CCTV. One of speakers come from Finland, her husband is Chinese, they two get together because of that Finnish girl prefer Chinese boy cooked tomato fry eggs. No wonder after she ate more than 20 years potatoes, suddenly change taste that feeling. But her Chinese speak not so well. In the end of the show, one audience asked "your husband is Chinese, why you cannot speak good Chinese?" That Finnish girl felt a little bit angry and cannot understand, why she has a Chinese husband must be speak fluently Chinese? I promise that is not Chinese thinking way, at least I also experienced that kind of question. Although in that time, I was preparing come to Finland. I never know I will experience this one day.

Nowadays, some friends make jokes about my poor Finnish. "Oh, you don't know Apteekki(one Finnish word means pharmacy)? I forgot your boyfriend didn't teach you any Finnish." I really angry but cannot say nothing. Even I want to say learning Finnish is my thing, none of my boyfriend business. How could I do? Just ignore those stupid people, since they don't have Finnish boyfriend. What a logical about have Finnish boyfriend must be speak fluently Finnish? All in all, I have to face this society which has potential competition.

Stay in Finland this couple years, I have to say I travel a lot(12 countries) until nowadays just want to stay in Finland without any travel. I start fed up travel, start feel boring from long distance fly, start hate not safety society, start scare to try local food, and the most worry thing is that English is not world language, especially in France,Italy these kind of proud of their own language area. Also, some countries of poor economic and poor education, they are not internationalization, I also cannot use English communicate with them. This moment can show the importance of know how to speak small country's language.

In addition to, I as a northeast part of Chinese suddenly visited southern part of China, I still feel culture shocked even I am a Chinese. Because of different part of Chinese speak different local languages. Their local food also are variation, culture must be not same.



 

Everybody need a stage, we need speaking rights

After read article about our country economist, I have a feeling open a English magazine in Europe again. Because of we cannot stand western media always write those negative news about China, and we cannot do anything about it. That is unfair!

Currency War recently become more "popular" topic between China and America. American said their economic goes down because of Chinese GDP grow dramatically fast. American people unemployment increase the reason is Chinese export a lot and made American companies bankrupt and people lost their jobs. Anyway, all the bad news related to economics which all reasons can belong to China. Western people just stand their own point think question, cannot think about others real situation. For instance, how about Finland or Africa some country instead of Germany become No.1 export country? Are they also have to undergo such treatment? Why western countries won't think about even if China export volume is high, still is a developing country, western countries as developed country need to help China continue improve Chinese people average life level, let most of Chinese have food, living place, enjoy health care and children can go to school, can drink clean water? Why they cannot help China as same as help Africa, even African countries were not world industry, maybe one day will become biggest export union in the world?

All in all, I know this world is not so fair, so we try to balance this world. Although I know America always want to be No.1 in the world, if 50 years always No.1, other countries will feel bored. Could you let other countries turn to No.1 every 50 years? Maybe others more suitable for that position? Who knows?

Where is our opportunity?

http://www.yrityspaivat.com/in_english/
and http://www.rekrytori.fi/hameenlinna/

These are two websites about looking for summer job,one is in Hammenlinna, another one is in Tampere.Last year maybe have this kind of happening,but I didn't know it, school also didn't arrange this kind of happening. I only visited Forssa local employment development office, that is school suggested us visit there. Every year is different, tomorrow we gonna visit one, about 50 students from our school join this, hope somebody can get their job.

I have quite many failure cases about seeking a job in China. I wonder when the ideal job can looking for me not I seeking for it. My father said seeking for a job sometimes a little bit seems as seeking a partner, need a little bit lucky, of course, need my ability. But what is my ability? Don't have so high degree, don't have deeply knowledge about some specific area, and don't have that much experience. We should find out our advantages and look a good company sell a good price? Or just accumulate our knowledge and waiting a good opportunity come automatically? 

Let's looking forward some foreign students find a real job in Finland and give us more hope.

What can makes me happy

I know how to make myself happy, that is my good future. Think about myself, sometimes feel pity, I don't like live for others, even for my parents or partner. For example, I want have a baby because of my parents feel lonely, and they say baby will help me grow up. I don't want have a baby because baby so noise and my partner don't want have baby so hurry,the reason is if we don't have ideal situation(didn't prepare well) then have a baby will feel not good. Both are true, for myself, I don't want to have a baby, since I think live is a difficult thing, why need my kids also experience what I undergo.

Think about my ideal life. What is ideal life for me? What kind of life do I want?

Don't tell me your promise since it's none of my business

I don't like listen people's promise, especially you cannot make your promise become true. It doesn't make any sense for me, only can show what kind of person you are.

I don't like a boy 24 years old still play computer game and drink alcohol crazy.

I don't like people waste my time, I can use those time to do some useful things.

I don't like cheat and fool, if you have please save it.

I prefer positive influence, don't like negative impact.

I prefer meet valuable friends,I can learn from them, not only for fun.

If the friendship only have fun without learn anything, that is not real friendship. Real friendship need learn from each other and improve together, also happy together, if relationship without happy, better don't have,this same as couple in love.

New idea

The Chinese New Year is coming, looking back tiger year which was experience quite many things. For instance, have poikaystavani ja tyo Suomessa kesana, matka Englanti alone ja travel Greece with my Mr. Rabbit. Minun aiti tuli Suomea kay minua, travel Estonia, France, Italy and Switzerland with my mom. Then the first Christmas in Finland, quite interesting and the first time undergo car accident(so scare but nothing more). I'm a lucky girl whatever from any angle.

That is tiger year, satisfy that performance. But my English still need to improve, I have to invest more time on it, Finnish as well. And came to Finland one and half year, travel almost 12 countries, from northern Europe to Southern Europe, such as Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Sweden, England, France, Italy, Switzerland,Greece, Estonia and Finland.Tiger year really travel a lot and each trip has left a deep memory.

In Rabbit year, I gonna from travel outside of Finland turn to travel inside of Finland (if I have holiday, especially summer holiday). I'm quite interested in east and north part of Finland.(My Finnish teacher said only Hame district people the lifestyle quite slow, eastern zone people quite sociable and Helsinki people at least walk fast, I prefer meet more kinds of Finns) Meanwhile, I wish I can from travel a lot become to read a lot, I hope I can read English books as many as possible, expand my vocabulary. I need more inside energy. Let's travel to book of the sea!


  

Daily life

Yesterday I was interviewed with Forssanlahti, since we got RYLA award certificate, although I don't know what function that certificate has in my future, I still felt this course quite good, at least provide a chance to approach Finnish local company and meet some talented people. And the day before yesterday we have lunch with RYLA club local officer, we took picture and chat a bit, quite nice time. And I asked advisory about establish a Chinese restaurant or shop is it possible in here, and how's the situation such things. One lady such a nice person suggest me go to meet her colleague ask further specific information. Then today I with my Mr.rabbit visit their office and meet that lady again coincidence. I don't have money can invest my business, also don't have too special business idea. I just want to find a chance work for myself and do some more motivation tasks. Anyway, something have positive effect to society meanwhile can push you go ahead, we just do it, no need think a lot.

This afternoon we visited an art exhibition in ToriKeskus, Mr.Rabbit and I visit there and explore local artist printings. Mr. Rabbit pick a piece of paper, that is a list of name and price of printings. We started play game, I guess all printings name. Quite interesting, there is sipuli(onion), a plenty of omena(apples) and other fruits, of course have naked lady and ballet girls. We also tasted their offered food, carrot cake and coffee. A pretty nice afternoon, hope Forssa often organize this kind of activities.

Finnish language storm

Most of time I stay in school, most of them speak English, only greeting use Finnish sometimes. I didn't recognize the importance of Finnish. After stay Finland one and half year, after I worked with Finns,met some old Finns in street ask their help, and have to listen Finnish meeting, or have lunch with elder Finnish people and stay with Finnish family. I suddenly noticed they just ignore us talk Finnish, Huomio! This is not means they are impolite,just not necessary. For instance, American people want to talk English with each other but Chinese, Paris people proud of themselves only can speak French not others,and Chinese also enjoy speak Mandarin to their Chinese friends. Finnish people either, they are naturally want to speak Finnish especially no reason let Finns speak English to their fellow. Sometimes Finns don't want to talk to you maybe because of they think they cannot speak good English, but it does not mean they don't like you, they just shy. Comparing to French and Italy people, Finnish people talk great English. This is in Finland, as a foreigner we have to learn Finnish if we really want to know more about Finland not only surface.

Approached Finns, you will noticed how their international. 

The objective of open this blog

Couple years ago, I have been write some life stories about myself in some Chinese blog, which were record my traveling experience, a little bit working experience and studying life. Finnish noodle as a new me appear and continue record my life in Europe, but different is this time I gonna use English or maybe use Finnish as well, the objective is improve my writing skills of both language.

For some reason, recently I have a strong feeling wanna become to a journalist. I hope I can interview different kinds of people in Finland and write some stories about them. I would like to listen others stories, how's their life and what are they pursue. So "Finnish noodle" will publish some real person's stories in future. 

I want to establish a free local magazine discuss about China and Finland, since these two countries need more deeply understanding each other. Bring Chinese stories to Finland and bring Finnish stories back to China, from all kinds of aspects.
