Ensivaikutelmia lähiympäristöstä

Kun kaikki rekisteröinnit, asumisasiat ja vaikeat kielikokeet ovat hoidettu, voi rauhassa alkaa tutustua lähiympäristöön. Kävimme huonekaverini, ja muutaman muun vaihto-oppilaan kanssa katsomassa paikallista kaunista järveä, West Lake (西湖). Alue on todella vihreä ja on paljon pieniä siltoja ja polkuja pienine temppeleineen aina silloin tällöin. 






Kävimme huonekaverini, Elenan, kanssa paikallisessa ”cittarissa”, Walmart (沃尔玛). Oli hieman haasteellista tietää mikä on shampoota, hoitoainetta tai deodoranttia, kun kaikki lukee ainoastaan kiinaksi. Kaikki on todella värikkäästi pakattu monikerroksisin muovipakkauksin. Täällä ei muovia säästellä.

We were kinda, just by mistake, taken into this hike event since we just passed their stand a few days ago and they asked us to join. So we jumped to the chance and took it as an interesting experience. My ...

Moon cakes 月饼

Bild
Moon cakes, 月饼， are traditional to eat during the Mid-Autumn festival. According to old mythodology, the rebels during the Yuan Dynasty hid messages with outlines of attacks in the moon cakes. During that time, the Mongolians were in rule. On the night of the Moon Festival, the rebels attacked the government successfully and the Ming Dynasty was established. Moon cakes are also a symbol to worship the moon god and signifies reunion. Today, different regions in China have developed their own style of moon cakes.  Sources: Why Chinese eat moon cakes during Mid-Autumn?  https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/glSG5NzvzCGms5hMegDkgg There are moon cakes made with lotus seed paste, sweet bean paste, green tea matcha, lemon, mango or lichee flavor and even ham mince, etc. You can find moon cakes in most shops during the autumn.
