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?

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!
