Skype

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Skype is a good thing,I am not doing any advertisements for it. Just after I used it a few times,I feel it is really good.

You can download the program from their website,easy and simple and free. Then you can chat online,if you have the audio or camera,you can talk through skype. It is very good for me since I am so far away from friends,I can talk via skype with them.

If you are interested,try it out!

Six action shoes

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

Well,weekend was really good,good weather and quiet,just being alone here.I finished reading one book "Six action shoes".It is written by the same author of "Six thinking hats".

Quite a good book,telling you not only how to think,but also how to act accordingly. And he wrote the book only during some plane trip.Amazing writing skills.

I recommended you to read it,I believe that you will like it.

I hope that I will not have too much time alone.

My paradise

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Just went to feed the ducks.This is one of the things I like to do in Finland.Ha...feeding ducks! Not joking,because I could not do it in China,people will catch them before I could feed them.(maybe not now)

The weather is good,autumn color is really beautiful! Green mixed with yellow and red.And it is really quiet here,only can hear birds singing or sometimes hear the fighting noises made by the squirrels.

It is good here,quiet and clean and nature all around.But just lack of shops or entertainment things...My paradise will be like the nature enviroment but also together with shops and people and everyting...

Is this kinda place exist? Pls tell me because it is really my ideal paradise.

Three different world

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

I checked Wikipedia today,it said that the nations of earth are divided into three broad categories:First World,Second World and Third World.

The fist world are the Western European,North Amerian countries and Japan,South Korea,Australia,New Zealand,the second world are mainly Eastern European,Arabian countries and China,the third world is the rest.

They divided this is depended on the economy and the GDP per capital. Yes,I know that per capital GDP in Finland is quite high and people considered to have a really high quality life.But I have some confusion that is the modern things like the latest computers or iPod or digital cameras or mobile phones,you always can see people using them in China.In Finland well not much and even not being seen in the shop. And another thing is that I always saw people especialy old people only buy one banana in the surpermarket and very carefully select that only one.Maybe it is because culture difference,I have never seen or never done things like this before.

Well,maybe that is the differences between the fist world and the second world.Enjoy the clear air and less noise,you have to pay much more.In the second world maybe not that clean and everywhere noise and dirty,but you can enjoy the cheap price and more choices.

9.18

Today is a historical memory date in China.In 1931,September 18th. the Japanese started to attack China and got north part of China and after 6 years,they attacked Beijing and started the war with China.

I do not like war and think it is so cruel.I hope from now on there is no war anywhere in the world...but I know it is difficult,there are problems in Israle and Arabic areas,also China and Taiwan....

Is war the only way to solve all the problems?

Chocolate questions

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Here is an interesting test,just answer the following questions and you will get a surprise:

1. Pls write down the number of times that you want to eat chocolate per week(number between 1 to 9) (for example I wrote 3)

2. Pls use 2*the number you wrote on Q1. (2*3=6)

3. Then use 5+the number you got on Q2.(5+6=11)

4. Then use 50*the number you got on Q3.(50*11=550)

5. If this year you have already celebrated your birthday,pls use 1756+the number you got on Q4;if you have not celebrate your birthday yet this year,pls use 1755+the number you got on Q4.(1756+550=2306)

6.The last step is use the number you got on Q5 - your birth year.(2306 - 1978=328)

Well,then you should get a three digits number,the first one will be the same as you wrote on Q1,and the rest two is just your age.

I like this test,funny! Pls try out!

Women talk

| 2 Comments | No TrackBacks

Ha,I think the title is funny-women talk! Well,it is true,today after the class me and other nine girls together with the teacher (woman of course) went to a cafe.A good place,not too much people and the food was ok. We had little finnish talking time after the course.
Well,11 women together,what would we talk then.Ha...! About men! And we agreed that most of men hate to go shopping,always just go shopping when they wanted to buy something,then just go to the shop to buy the thing they needed,no more looking around,just buy the thing and go back home. Not like most of us,if we want to buy clothes, then first maybe look at shoes or cosmetics or something else,then go to the clothes section.

I have seen a funny drawing that said if a man wants to buy a jeans,it will only take about 10 minutes,either he bought it or he just left.For women,at least 40 minutes,because they look around first and waste lots of time on trying different things....

Is this one of the differences between men and women?

Busy day

| 2 Comments | No TrackBacks

I have a really busy day today.Had Finnish cours the whole morning. Then doing the homework and in the evening I will have Dutch course again.Well,sometimes busy is good,it can let me forget the unhappy things and just focus on the things I am doing now.

But not too busy then it will bring too much stress. Hope I can balance this good.

Webpage

Now I am studying HTML and CSS.It is not as difficult as Ruby programming,and more interesting than Ruby,because you can really see the result,and in some way it is also a kinda design.
I got a very good book about this topic,so hope soon you all can see a better webpage from me.

Finnish police

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Because I got a new passport,I have to go to the police to tell them that I changed my passport.First I went to the wrong place,I wondered there because I only see finnish people and no other different color people.The result is that I am in the wrong place.I have to go to another place where specially for foreign people. So today I went there and ok,I knew I was in the right place,because I saw more black or russian people there.:)

It was easy to tell them but I have to wait for about one hour till my turn.Even in Finland where do not have much foreign people.

Everything went good and I think I do not need to go there again.

Autumn

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

Autumn is in Finland now,this year the leaves become yellow much earlier than before.Partly because of the very dry summer,some of the trees and grass are dead.Weather becomes bad,much worse than in summer,the best time is gone.

Autumn is always a harvest time,farmers are busying collecting the wheat,rice,vegetables...Well,what I will get for this season? Of course it depends on what I have planted in the spring time. But I do not mind if there is a surprise for me.

My new passport

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Today I got my new passport.It stil looks the same as the old one,some paper pages.Not like the advanced IC card one. Well,it is Chinese passport,it just like this.

I have been to the Chinese embassy so many times since I lived in Finland.Always heard people say that their service is terrible,especialy to Chinese people. Well,maybe I am lucky,all these times I went there,they seems ok(not very good but not very bad).Just the same as in China.I think Chinese people should already used to that.

Anyway I got the new passport and everything went ok.

Complain complain complain

| 1 Comment | No TrackBacks

In today's class,some people just want to discuss how difficult to live here in Finland. Well,I felt little bit bored with that. Because I learned that complaining is no use,especialy if you complain things to people whoever you met. What impression you want to give to the other people? You have problems living here and people here do not appreciate your degrees or whatever.Is that only happened to you? We all know that living in another country is not a easy thing. Why complain too much and do nothing?I do not really understand and especially do these kinda complain in a finnish language studying class.

Well, no one like the situation here that because we are foreigners and we do not speak the native language well,then we do not get any job or not being treated equaly. I understand this situation and these things are not only happened on one person...

So stop complaining and do something useful!
