It was to the point that whenever there’s a need for something, the first thing I do is to search online in these shopping apps, instead of going to the shop.Īmong all the apps, there was one I found it is difficult to live without – WeChat. I shop almost everything around the household online, even fresh groceries. I used to get my shopping done, on my mobile phone through various shopping apps, Taobao, Yihaodian, Dangdang, Jindong, WeChat, after boys are in their dreamland in the evening. The e-commerce boom in China has helped to ease a busy mother’s life in a great deal. Especially with two small boys in the household, there can be endless to-do-list. While we have settled down very well to our new life in Finland, I couldn’t help missing the convenience we had when we were living in China. Going to the dark forest searching for Tonttu, or nervously waiting for Joulupukki, and never get tired of having fun with snow. On the contrary, it is more like a fairytale wonderland, especially when you see it through your children’s eyes. And not even I minded or complained about the long Finnish Winter. I did get a bit disappointed with this answer, but there’s nothing that makes me happier than seeing my boys adapt to the new life so well. Whenever I ask my boys which country they like more, Finland or China, the answer is always Finland. We take our two little boys hiking, picking berries in the forest, to various events… We enjoy the fresh air, clean environment and summery sunshine in Finland. When compared with cities in China, even cities like Helsinki and Tampere are like villages to us Chinese. Our life has since then transformed from the busy city life to a more relaxed countryside style. After living over 12 years in China, we decided to move back to Finland. The Summer of 2016 was a special one to me and my whole family.
