About Me

I am gentle, sociable, easy-going, friendly, trustworthy, optimistic and open-minded. I love quiet and dislike great noise. I like to meet and get to know different people and share our experiences with each other. It is very nice to keep our mind open and understand a lot of different stuff, world is so big, every one is also different from others, to me, it is really enlightening to see the world from new perspectives. Thanks to everyone who has shown me a different world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, it is hard to say. There is a lot of surprise in life, sometime you can make some breakthrough unintentionally. If I have to say one thing, the first memory came into my mind is that I have hosted a dinner for over 20 people with over 20 different dishes. All the dishes were cooked by me alone and the guests praised my cooking a lot.

The other is overcoming the thing of which i am most scared for around 10 years. The process of struggling with it is not easy, actually torturing and painstaking. But once you get over it, it is really great success, you will even be proud of yourself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Chinese cooking if people are interested to learn.
I'd like to learn different culture in various places and share my sincerity and friendliness with others. We can also talk about various topics, such as cooking, shopping, organizing living surroundings, culture, Finnish life, and even human mind and behaviors or sth. about psychology if you like.
